“Chengdu-based STUDIO D’ARKWAVE believes that architecture is not mere steel and concrete, nor should it be shackled by authority or personal taste. It is an act of shaping living spaces—free, natural, grounded, and filled with delight. Each city and village carries its own logic of growth and distinct cultural spirit, serving as the wellspring of a building’s life force. We strive to dissolve the boundary between architecture and environment, merging them into truly poetic places to dwell. At STUDIO D’ARKWAVE, we hold that only through darkness can new light be born. Like waves rippling across the cosmos, this creative energy expands in every direction, inspiring endless possibilities.”
