The MORI SEIKI Technical Center serves as a parts-supply base and provides educational training for the company's Southeast Asian operations. The center also includes a showroom for the company's precision machining equipment. The strong horizontal lines of the exterior feature metallic sandwich panels covered with mirrored glass, a first for Thailand. By creating a clear division between the areas for customers and staff, a functional and secure facility has been realized.

LASALLE College of the Arts is located in Singapore. The campus is divided into six blocks, which are connected on the ground floor with a campus court, and on the upper floors via bridges. The buildings comprise classrooms, studios, library and auditorium. The fabric roof covering the entire campus is the largest in Singapore. Two thousand internal glass panels all differ in form; production and installation were arduous. The unique three-dimensional geometric design is iconic and has attracted a lot of attention.

A massive expansion project for the Rohm Tianjin factory involved the construction of eleven new wings. Included in this expansion were a new factory wing, comprehensive living quarters and effluent treatment wings. The employees' quarters link to existing and new factory areas via a convenient connecting bridge. The new factory wing echoes the factory's existing design; the entire concept applies the global standard design used in Rohm factories worldwide.

The entrances and windows of this new factory are comprised of various squares and cubes that create a special accent and rhythm to the building's facade. The building is also complemented by considerable greenery, including a relaxing, oasis-like commons, a rooftop garden and numerous foliage fences placed throughout the grounds. Skylights in the office wing open to sunlight-filled light courts on the ground floor, resulting in an open and airy interior atmosphere.
