about me
BACK TO TOP
Born 1995 in British Hong Kong, I am currently based in the United Kingdom and Hong Kong. I have recently completed my RIBA Part II studies at the University of Bath, with the ambition of being a registered
architect in the future.
I believe that architecture is for people - its goal is to be the beautiful setting against which people go about their lives. As practitioners, we have a mission to create sustainable and socially responsible built environments that inspire others to take on the world and make their mark.
My professional experience range from one-off residential housing to masterplanning, set in a range of contexts across the world and across most work stages.
