From glowing pavilions and glass walls that turn opaque when occupied, to restroom “villages” hidden in greenery, each creation blends function with creativity. These designs show how even the most ordinary spaces can become extraordinary experiences, drawing admiration from both locals and travelers alike.

Scroll down and explore all the designs from the project – and let us know which one you’d be happiest to see in the streets of the city you live in!
