Hi I am Ka Hei Tong, a recent bachelor architecture graduate from Newcastle University, UK. As a highly responsible and versatile architectural student, the ability to self-motivate allows me to perform various tasks simultaneously, proving myself to be fully devoted, organized and competent in working under high pressure. The prompt to challenge myself and learn different software to expand my professional knowledge has enabled me to develop a strong background and refine my skills in designing software such as Revit, AutoCAD, Ps, Ai and Id. I am also efficient in accomplishing independent tasks whilst also keen on taking up responsibilities within my peers as an active team player. I am readily equipped with creative abilities to bring forth exceptional concepts and effectively present and visualize them graphically and verbally. I am primed to take up future challenges and responsibilities.

Building happiness
01 “Art must contribute to mental health, power and pleasure� said John Ruskin in the Seven Lamps of Architecture. In my final year graduation project, I was to construct a building that could last for 2000 years in Ouseburn Valley in Newcastle, UK. The project explores the way of achieving social sustainability in the long now by constructing a building that brings people together, develop inter-personal relationships and react with the the nature in Ouseburn. The building consists of 3 vital natural elements that could last eternally, namely water, greenery, sky. Their existence supports the continuation of human life.

Interactive Bird Hide
02
The project is to design a bird hide in Washington Wetland Park, Durham that could lasts for 200 years. The unique-shaped interactive bird hide has an undulating surface comprising of different sizes of pentagons and triangles. Triangular bamboo panels act as a strong support favoring its long time frame, while pentagonal tilt-able panels are large in size and encouraged interaction between users and the nature. This installation allow users to freely tilt wooden panels at any degrees and create different views according to their desire. It is also easy to install, repair and replace, favoring the long time frame that it will exist.

Living on the edge
03 The project is to design a foyer along Lime Street in Newcastle’s Ouseburn Valley, which is an integrated learning and accommodation center providing safe and secure housing, support and training for disadvantaged young people. It is hoped that youngsters could make a positive contribution to their local community and regain self-confidence through education, training and support from one another. The building includes a residents’ flats, tutors’ flats, an exhibition space and a glassblowing workshop. The main feature of the design is that different zones were separated by “connectors” located in the middle part of the building, acting as a connecting agent to provide different zoning and experiences.

Prospect and Refuge
04 The project is to design an educational building to be used for Newcastle University in the harbor town of Amble. It would a community building providing learning, employment, and gather people together. The major constraint is we can only design the building in form of a cube. I was largely inspired by SANAA’s Zollverein School in Essen with numerous square-shaped windows throughout the building, creating an illusion that people from the outside could harldy distinguish the floors. The facade openings were designed according the amount of daylight and privacy required in different spaces, which in turn creates a geometrical language on its own.

The Undulating block
05 This project focuses on the spatial and volumetric planning and design of small row (terrace) house with given fixed volumes in North Shields, Newcastle. It was commissioned by a 3-people family that loves art and socializing with friends. The design adhered straightly to the constraints in the brief, including building height, size, direction, furniture requirements and etc. Inspired by the Little Valley House in Japan, the house was designed in a 4 X 7 grid pattern. Different parts in different floors are being “pushed� in or out to create a dynamic facade along the Waldo Street. The use of colors also amplify the effect.
