About

Architecture is not a broadcast mechanism. It’s about engagement with the audience and asking the user to participate in the experience, it’s actually a partnership. I have a preoccupation with how things comes together and an essential part of my design approach is driven by construction technologies and innovation. What may appear as a melting pot of competing interests, people and innovations, is often where we find the road to great architecture.

Inspiration

My design inspirations are usually found in unexpected places, they are personal and incidental, but with a common theme; They all engage the audience to become part of the creative experience. I like it when you are not merely an ‘observer’.

I’m fascinated by Land Art. These installations are unmistakably “manmade” but still connected to the landscape.

A photo of Sagrada Familia from our trip to Barcelona. Seeing this space in an unfinished state captured a unique moment in time.

I was born in Hong Kong. Despite having lived in NZ, AU, UK and the US, this city remains a special place for me.
