Design Philosophy:
My belief in architecture’s remarkable ability to influence and transform society is at the core of my professional philosophy. My experience working with several international architectural firms on prestigious projects has reinforced this conviction. I approach design with a focus on innovation, cultural relevance, and the complex dynamics of urban environments. My goal is to create spaces that are not only visually compelling but also socially and environmentally responsive, reflecting my commitment to shaping the future of urban living.
My education at the University of Nottingham and the Architectural Association in the UK has deepened my appreciation for the vital role of critical thinking in architecture and design. I advocate for actively engaging with communities to understand their needs, highlighting the importance of socially responsible architecture that effectively responds to its users.
In my practice, I prioritize research and critical analysis of existing environments. Understanding the historical, cultural, and social context of a space is essential for designing environments that resonate with people. This foundation enables me to create designs that fulfill functional requirements while capturing the unique character of the communities they serve. I aim to craft environments that engage the senses, inspire creativity, and nurture positive social impact.
Winning the 40 Under 40 Award provides an invaluable opportunity to amplify my vision for a sustainable and vibrant urban future. I am committed to making a meaningful contribution to architecture in Hong Kong and beyond, and I believe that this recognition will empower me to continue my important work.
