Stairs

Stairs 

This is my design for the staircase going from the below ground studio up to the showroom space, and is inspired by the words "fly" and "accentuate". It is an assemble of 6 units of the same stair components arranged and aligned at a curved angle with level changes. I created triangular window frames along the staircase,  almost creating a corridor-like effect and hallway-like spaces. These frames along the stair case accentuates the openness to the vitality of its surroundings which essentially helps to draw users' attention and enjoy the view outside. 

In addition, I have always been particularly interested in green-architecture. Therefore, I wanted the staircase to be of mixed-use through the choice of materials, with multiple of its facades wrapped with climbing plants, creating a "green-living-wall".

"Something beautiful"

"Something beautiful"

I’m sure most people are aware of the political turmoil and social movement Hong Kong is going through. This is a picture I took on 6th June, 2019, in the very early period of what is to become one of the biggest fights defending freedom and human rights for the people of Hong Kong— whereby a large peaceful protest march in delivering a stunning repudiation of the government’s controversial extradition bill. It was a beautiful experience, witnessing 2 million Hong Kong people from all walks of life coming together first hand,  bringing the city to a complete standstill as masses marched to charities the chief executive’s refusal to withdraw or apologies for the bill. I felt the desperation, fury and unity of my people against the wave of political persecution, fighting for our human rights and freedoms which are on the brink of collapse.
