Garden Curtain Wall

The project interrogates and exploits the limit of envelope control in urban sites to re-examine the ubiquitous glass curtain wall. Eschewing the flatness,we developed an envelope of interspersed garden pockets veiled by a layer of golden expanded mesh that is strategically punctured to frame the office activities within. These pods are extensions of a column-free, open-plan space.We envision this to be the new face of work. One that engages the interior with the urban context and nature.

Pa Prank

A renovation project that transforms shophouses into a hostel, located in one of the most famous historical communities. Unlike the stereotype of the renovation project, the hostel has traded-off a quarter of usable area to increase the quality of the place by enhancing the quality of space, light, and air ventilation altogether. It stayed away from a conventional solution which typically intends to maximize the number of guest rooms and elaborate on stylish or fanciful interior decoration.
