Myriad Circles
Myriad Circles is a residential interior design completed in Sichuan, China. The layout is inspired by the Linpan settlements of Western Sichuan and their traditional Chuandou timber structures. Custom American walnut joinery reinterprets the interlocking and cantilever techniques of these structures. Concealed steel reinforcements inside the joinery support the weight of a collection of models. Stainless steel and glass are combined with the wood. Fixed walnut elements give the interior cultural depth, while flexible elements allow the space to serve changing uses.

The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design prize that honors exceptional design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
