Timeless Church
Church, a place for God, is an architecture where turns hopes into tangible through the journeys to the church and the experiences inside the church: From the super long solid stone facade to the punching through entrance, from the solid blocky architecture to the large atrium a big void. Made out of material, the church however visualize time flowing through the changing shadow casting on the wall.

Fire Station in Sai Kung Function vs. Emotion
Break and soften the edges giving a organic and soft atmosphere Inspired by the beautiful natural landscape around the site, the project is trying to rethink about how should a fire station, a very functional building should be look like. This fire station is a trial of breaking through the tradition: While keeping the high efficiency and the same functional quality same as normal fire station in town, this project is embraced by the nature of its fragmental design and provides a emotional touch for the daily life of the fire-fighters.

Cinematicity | City Undulation | Gallery Design Driven from the beautiful space, the undulating space from a piece of melted acrylic came as the starting point for the inspiration. Throughout the Study of HK films, the undulating movement between the city-edge in this extremely highdensity living city is what one of the most iconic spacial quality of HK. A small gallery design is an architecture where this HK DNA is being transformed physically. The journey experiencing in the gallery is the undulation between the city edge.

3D TANGRAM The seven flat shapes of an original tangram can be reunified to a complete square. While turning these reunifying concept from 2D to 3D it creates a 3D tangram.
The Study Hall is built to outperform the first New Bud Primary school in energy efficiency and space design, while retaining critical distinguishing features of the first school, such as earthquake resistance, durability and a short construction time of only two weeks.

New Bud Study Hall Sichuan
Our research team led by Prof. Zhu Jingxiang of the School of Architecture at The Chinese University of Hong Kong has developed an advanced architectural system for the construction of the New Bud Study Hall in Sichuan in 2009 summer.
Plan
The design is a compact single-storey building housing three classrooms and a reading space, without wasting the precise 260 sq. meter space on corridors. Each room has distinct proportions and orientation in order to give its users a clear sense of location when inside. The classrooms are divided by translucent partition walls without keep out noise but allow light to enter.

Skin
The building envelope is composed of 8 cm thick thermal insulation to resist cold weather, while vents are well-positioned to create a stack effect in order to cool the space in the summer and warm it in the winter. A simple timber-trellis cladding design allows the Study Hall to fit into the vernacular of the village while reducing the consumption of the raw timber required to build such a space.
