We create places ,
not just buildings

The ‘Seed’

Our submission aims to reflect the built environment of Hong Kong, the Chinese word “Hong Kong” literally translates to “Fragrant Harbour”, a name stemming from the city’s incense trading past where aroma incense spread across the ports of Hong Kong.

Wet Lab Conversion at HKSTP Building 6W

The project is the first case in Hong Kong to convert an existing office building to a Biosafety Level 2/3 full wet laboratory. The whole building is strategically upgraded and the existing curtain wall façade is modified to fulfil the latest Building Codes and International Standard of BSL 2/3 Laboratory. Floor plans are re-organized to suit the special need of lab spaces. New interior design of entrance hall, lift lobbies and common facilities and the wayfinding and signage design create new identity to the building.

Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks

Data Technology Hub is a pilot project spearheaded by Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) with the initiative to support the development of science and technology and the re-industrialization of Hong Kong. The development is modern and hi-tech with a focus on high-end, highly customizable and growing technology evolution in relation to new generation of consumer products embedded with Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. DT Hub serves to stimulate an encouraging working environment, well-designed with modern office provisions, recreational facilities as well as a large communal landscaped garden essential for a collaborative working environment. In the advanced technology sector, work can take place on virtual platforms defined by personal parameters. This assumed indifference is manifested across from one’s lap to work desks and stations through to the premises hosting these powerhouse – often isolated and clustered within a space. This project aims to explore this paradox to define the balance in productivity as well as the relationship between connectivity and data exchange as well as the correlation of the spatiality of the workspace itself.
