Looking back at the exhibition Projecting Future Heritage: A Hong Kong Archive, our role in curatorial team—part project manager, part designer, part MC, and part cheerleader—gave us a privileged, unique lens into the operations behind the scenes. This was especially true as the Hong Kong pavilion was blessed with a site at Campo della Tana, bordering two waterways: Rio della Tana and Rio dell'Arsenale. There is a whimsical aspect to the orchestration of the Biennale setup, as if there is an unspoken choreography of how the city maneuvers objects and people through its streets and water. We were honored to be part of the performance this time around. More stories to come in Bangkok.

Minimal intervention w/ Leggera chairs
Restrained palette, textures, and fixtures adjustment.
No demolition. No rewiring.
With thanks to our client for the trust—
a second commission following a small-scale project.
A fast-paced WIP to the finish line for our San Francisco commission — beautifully exposed roof rafters, a back garden that pulls the light in. Out go the old windows, in come floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors — opening the home to the landscape.

𝗛𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗔𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 is a 40-square-meter residence in Hong Kong that emphasizes material precision and calibrated interventions. A factory-welded stainless steel countertop eliminates joints and reduces maintenance, while a re-leveled floor in the almost 50-year-old building reestablishes a consistent datum and emphasizes spatial continuity across the compact plan. Oak flooring introduces warmth, balanced by green-grey ceramic tiles that recall the vernacular facades of Wan Chai. Pocket doors throughout enable fluid transitions, reinforcing spatial clarity. The design resists accumulation, privileging discipline, proportion, and continuity.
Designed for a working couple, their newborn, and two cats, 𝗛𝗛 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 balances domestic warmth with quiet precision. A muted palette of warm greys, faded olive, and walnut tones establishes a calm, tactile backdrop, while softened corners in millwork and custom furniture create a gentle rhythm. Flush-mounted ceiling lights disappear into a lowered plane, where paint, plaster, and light blend to recede fixtures. The result is a quiet, low-maintenance environment shaped by the coordination of surface, structure, and shadow.

𝗥𝗲:𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗮𝗶 𝗞𝗼𝗸 𝗧𝘀𝘂𝗶's form serves as a study of signage’s didactic tendencies, particularly within the overstimulating environment of a triangular refuge island. An initial survey identified nine distinct types of instructional design language compressed into this small footprint in TKT, governing behavior and traffic to halt, stop, wait, or redirect. Our installation responds by playing with the nature of signage—both amplifying and questioning it—while redirecting attention back to the human gaze on the horizontal plane. Here, the arrow is treated as an everyday, recognizable object that quietly guides and directs attention, yet its deliberate multiplication into ten divergent routes becomes a satirical gesture: a reminder that in Tai Kok Tsui’s layered urban fabric, there is no single clear path—only the invitation to explore.
