REFERENCE LETTER FROM PREVIOUS EMPLOYER

URBAN ARCHITECTURE

25 January 2023

Dear Sir/Madame

Patrick Chiu recommendation letter

To whom it may concern,

Patrick Chiu worked at BurtonHamfelt urban architecture from April of 2022 up and until December 2022. In that period Patrick developed well and accepted every challenge with enthusiasm and determination. Patrick grew in his professional development, from acquiring an intuitive sense of design skills to managing deadlines with complex urban projects. Colleagues enjoyed working with Patrick because of his ability to share responsiblities effectively with all parties involved in the building process.

Since being at our studio Patrick has contributed to the following ongoing projects:

• Mixed use innercity housing project Hoogoorddreef for ca. 40.000 m2 in Amsterdam Poort area in South East Amsterdam, NL. Responsibilities were, 3D design exterior and interior drawings in Revit and Rhino and 2d plans / schemes. Design phase: definitive design.

• Mixed use urban design project for 35.000 m2 in Wasserstadt Hannover, Germany 3D design massing and 2d plans / schemes. Design phase: schematic design.

• Wooden modular housing prototype on top of existing buildings (Optopper). As prototype design and built for large scale national real estate event. Design drawings and concept diagrams in 2D and 3D. Design phase: schematic design until realization.

• Mixed use urban design studies exploring massing options and development scenarios in various cities in the Netherlands such as Den Haag and Diemen. 3D studies en calcu lations. Design phase: schematic design

The reason for not prolonging his contract being that there was not enough certainty of work in the office in the near future and Patrick future plan to move back to Hong Kong. My expectations are that Patrick will be able to meet the new challenges and responsibilities required of him in his next professional adventure with the same enthusiasm and commitment that he displayed while employed at my office.

Sincerely,

Burton Hamfelt architect/owner

This residential housing project is located in Amsterdamse Poort, which has become the city’s second centre with almost 16 million visitors per year. The building responds with different housing typologies to different urban conditions. One part contains the middle sector and the living and working units, which generate the smaller scale urbanity of the new residential street. The other part, containing social and free sector dwellings, becomes the urban facade to the two main busy roads. This facade is comprised of an urban, lively and sturdy plinth that serves as a visual base for a lighter top, which becomes the most expressive part of the building.

The Design of 'Optopper' begins with the question: 'Why build new communities when you can sustainably build on top of them?'

The ‘Optopper’ is a circular, prefab, “all wood” - biobased, modular, fully equipped residential apartment that can be placed on top of almost any (post-war) flat. It is an innovative solution for the densification of our city centres and a concrete step towards a better more social neighbourhood.

Rendering - View of the Housing Prototype built on top (Dutch: 'optop') of the existing post-war housing block

The Project improves post-war residential areas with the aim of accelerating construction of affordable housing. The Optopper is a designed solution for the densification task and a concrete step towards a better neighbourhood.

The Optopper is available in different variants. The prefab residential units are available as studios and apartments with two to four rooms. A perfect home for starters, students, one and two-person households and small families, but also seniors, who need a different home but want to stay in their familiar neighbourhood and even in their own flat.

The Municipality of Hanover and WasserstadtLimmer GmbH & Co. KG initiated an international competition for the largest and most forward-looking urban development project in Hanover. Can we imagine a new type of urban neighbourhood that could be an example of a car-free, healthy, sustainable, climate adaptive and innovative community? And can we create a master plan for new urban living concepts that stimulate the local economy and new mobility concepts whilst integrating the surrounding areas?

Rendering - View of the Urban Complex from the surrounding river

The design approach is inspired by the near-natural setting of Wasserstadt Limmer surrounded by two waterways and the historical identity of the place once the home of the old Continental tire factory. These starting points form the basis for both the urban design concept and landscape planning strategy.

Architectural Diversity & Human Scale

The Green Framework

Historial Footprint

By using the historical footprint of the former Continental Tire factory, we create three unique neighbourhoods connected through landscape: the Urban Quarter, the Green Quarter and the Docklands. Each neighbourhood has their own distinct spatial characteristics and housing types. Along the northern banks, a special place is reserved for tiny house neighbourhood

Our overall ambition is to enhance the qualities of walking, cycling and public transport and create a car-free neighbourhood by excluding traffic and underground garage entrances to the northern edges of the plan in three separate zones.

The Lyric Theatre Complex is a mixed-used building housing 3 theatres (Lyric Theatre, Medium Theatre and Studio Theatre), rehearsal rooms, F&B, performers office etc. Each theatre has its own distinct color which relates to its function. The color is not only applied in the auditoriums, but also in the correlating foyers, serving also as means of wayfinding. The circulation in the building is driven by a "Central Spine". The spine forms two curving, stacked ramps weaving around the theatre volumes. Along the "Spine", the view of the habrour will be revealed gradually, creating an aperture effect.

LYRIC THEATRE COMPLEX, WEST KOWLOON CULTURAL DISTRICT

The West Kowloon Cultural District is a reclaimed land designed specifically for arts and cultural facilities in Hong Kong. The Master Plan was designed by Foster + Partners. The LTC is located next to the M+ Museum designed by Herzog de Meuron. It will connect to the "Artist Square" and promenade. forming a new urban connection between the city and the Victoria Harbour.

Hong Kong Science Museum (HKScM) & Hong Kong Museum of History (HKMN) were built in the 1990s and they were built in adjacent to each other. In need of a new expansion for both museums, the proposed design connected the two museums with an elevated courtyard which serves as a new exhibition space as well as new public open space which enhanced urban connectivity around the site. The design also introduce sustainable exhibition devices and interactive facades which will allow the museums to cater the needs of future technological development in the coming decades.

"Kunming Story" is a retail street design project situated in the World Horti-Expo Garden in Kunming, China. The site is heavily vegetated with both natural and manmade landscape. The whole project adopted "storytelling design", from site analysis to detail design, we studied and designed every moments based on the experience of the past and narration of the future (i.e. proposed design scenario). The result is a calm, low-rose retail development with respect to the history of the city and the existing landscape.

The design begins with a detail site analysis, looking at the history of architecture and streetscape of the site in Kunming. The Chinese Tenent House with a pitched roof and a gable wall are the typical architectural features that formed the streetscape of Kunming. We studied the scale and spatial arrangement of these houses, and derived our design based on the site context - a horticultural garden full of landscape.

Spatial Analysis

Typological Study of Historical Tenement Houses

Streetscape Scale Study

After careful site and spatial studies, different typologies of design were developed. As this is a retail street design, retail store requirement and experience were considered in the design process. The design resulted in a modern-day retail atmosphere with respect to the architectural and urban streetscape experience of the past.

Typology Study and Design

Site Elevation

Single Roof Typology - Enclosed with Full Gable Wall

Double Roof Typology - Opened-air design with balcony and eave

Cluster Study and Design

Different typologies were mixed together to create a more vibrant, diverse retail experience. It formed different clusters, linked with link bridges, wide staircases and extended balconies to further enhance the streetscape.

Storytelling Design

Narrative Design has been adopted in the whole design development. During the design process, we imagined from the perspective of different visitors/ users to the site. Different spatial journeys and qualities were explored along the development. Storyboards, physical models were great tools to inspire the master layout plan.

Local vernacular architecture and passive environmental design guided the overall approach and aesthetics of the development. This is emphasized by a series of external shading devices and green landscaping, presenting a spatial experience that is both rich in texture and mesmerizing in detail, heightened by the interplay of light and shadow. Elevations are not bereft of planting either — ‘green’ walls extensively planted with local vegetation complement the staggered roof terraces and semi-open courtyards to amplify the integrated quality of the architecture with its natural surroundings. Warm timbers and weather resistant metals form a harmonious composition alongside locally sourced lava stones, celebrating the beauty of humble, natural materials.

A recycled wood facade with vegetations allows sunlight to diffuse into the hotel corridor and natural ventilation.

Front Elevation

Locally sourced timber is one of the major facade material in the hotel. It gives life to vegetations and plants by letting them to grow freely on it.

RAINBOW LAND REHABILITATION COMMUNITY HALL FOR ABUSED CHILDREN

Year 2017

Type Community Hall

Size 230sq.m

Client Precious Blood Learning Centre

In Bible, Rainbow has a special meaning, that it symbolises a dialogue about a promise made between the God and human. The idea of the project is to bring the sisters and children together under the big colorful shelter, and to recall their relationship with the God.

The dynamic shift of the project creates a certain degree of openness to the outside, and through the colorful openings on the roof, sunlight as the creation of god is being drawn in and reinterpreted into different colors, and the color of light changes in the course of a day, a season and a year.

The interactive play of sunlight, interior and exterior space hopes to provide a stable yet everchanging atmosphere of environment to the sisters and children, establishing dialogues between the god and his creation - the Nature.

The final design was commented by the users - the children and the sisters from the church. The physical model became a toy to the children for their free imagination.

"VIEWING THROUGH THE EYES OF TENENTS" VIA NORTH POINT COMMUNITY SPACE DESIGN PROPOSAL

Location Norht Point, Hong Kong

Year 2021

Project Type Installation | Urban Space

Status Shortlisted

North Point Estate, used to be the backbone of the North Point community, deserved to be honoured and respected once again. We believe only by understanding the past can we better design for the future.

“Viewing Through the Eyes of Tenants” is an interactive installation that brings the stories of the past (North Point Estate) to now (the existing pavilion) and hopefully passes on to the future generation.

The concept of the installation work originated from the history of the siteNorth Point Estate. It was built in 1957 and revolutionized Public Housing Design at that time, with a private balcony for each flat, facing the Victoria Harbour. There was also public open space in between the blocks and a public transport interchange in front of the North Point Pier. The whole community formed a strong bond with each other, serving as a backbone of the North Point neighbourhood. In 2002, the site was demolished, and no traces of the past can no longer be found on the site today.

Pulling Up-and-Down!

The “balconies” are installed by a safety pulley system, allowing kids of lower height to pull them down and read the old stories written on it or as an interactive device.

Storytelling Workshop

Storytelling workshops will be organised by local groups and former North Point estate residents (by invite) to verbally share their good old days. The “balconies” will become a storytelling media.

Writing to Share

The “balconies” are installed with transparent/ colored acrylic pieces, welcoming all the former North Point estate residents or public to share their interesting stories back in the old days.

ROLLING LENS RAGALE RING INSTALLATION DESIGN

Location Illinois, USA

Year 2020

Project Type Installation | Exhibition Design

Status Competition Entry

The original plan of Ragdale Ring was a symmetrical and static 2-D ring on a paved lawn surrounded by a low limestone wall. We retraced such important historic reference and modified them in two ways - one by pushing down the original ring in the plan and develop it into a visual rail on the ground and one by rotating the ring 90 degrees into a new “Lens”. By superimposing the components, a new interactive Ragdale Ring in 3-dimension is created. The horizontality (the rail) and verticality (the Lens) are concerted design as a new take of Ragdale Ring in 2020. With its intrinsic mobility, the Rolling Lens is a metaphor to the lens of a camera, framing different views on the site following the footsteps of the users on the campus.

Rolling Lens is an interactive device that reinterpreted the original story of Ragdale and transform it into a modern story to tell.

QIANHAI NEW URBAN HUB

HKIA QIANHAI DESIGN COMPETITION

Location Qianhai, Shenzhen, China

Organiser Hong Kong Institute of Architects

Year 2018

Project Type Competition

Status Second Runner Up | Student Category

Qianhai is a new development area in Shenzhen, China. The design competition called for entry to adaptively reuse an existing fire services pump room into a small art & cultural venue. The proposed design responded to the future masterplan of the site by adding a new curvature to the roof, giving the building a new visual identity. It also changed the materiality of the existing building so as to enhance the architectural transparency. Landscape elements, such as vertical greening and water features were deisgned to cohere with the future masterplan of the site as a urban park in Qianhai.
