Under the guidance of the Hong Kong Consul General, we conducted numerous design and planning studies.
We adept in, and sensitised to, engaging productive with multiple stakeholders. We understand that vital roles will be played by relevant government agencies, involving stringent security control and access requirements. Our approach established clear lines of communication, to respect the value & purpose of each role, and to capture decisions taken together so that progress is not impeded.

As the lead-design consultancy role of a project manager, the project entail intricate programming, costing and logistical problem solving to ensure it remains economical, whilst abiding by best practice health & safety standards. Our integrated design and delivery team gained firsthand knowledge of this Landlord, of the idiosyncrasies of these premises, and of the fit-out economics for this site.
