NUDE DESIGN has completed Weekender Shop Andel, a women's apparel in Kuramae district, . The project marks the brand's second location and introduces an strategy centered on brightness, clarity, and visual transparency. The design uses white-stained , soft mortar surfaces, and stainless- accents to establish a restrained material palette. Natural light enters through L-shaped windows, producing an evenly lit environment that highlights the store's spatial configuration and display elements.

Chen's solution uses a folded metal roof that mimics the site's varied topography while organizing interior volumes. The site sits on slopes along the waterfront, positioned between historical and modern Bronx districts. Rather than fighting that terrain or treating it as a constraint, the folded geometry echoes those slopes and simultaneously blends walls into ceilings to define distinct programmatic zones.

Villa Boë, designed by Alexis Dornier, occupies a steep hillside plot in the Tampah Hills development on Lombok, Indonesia. Its position at one of the highest points of the site required a vertical approach to program and form, resulting in a house that merges into the terrain while retaining a strong architectural presence. The project unfolds as a sequence of stacked volumes that follow the contours of the slope.
