| DESIGN NAME: See and feel PRIMARY FUNCTION: Students Service Centre INSPIRATION: Consultation as an experience to a resort. Strong sunlight erased the details of the blue basketball court, and the blue patch of colour gave us the mental image of pool. Suddenly a very calming atmosphere. We want to reconstruct this perception in the design, focusing on the light and image. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Located at the centre of the campus, the new Student Services Centre sides with the blue outdoor playground is located in the heart of the school, giving students a space to understand and talk to each other. Private hubs are provided for intimate and confidential discussions, while common spaces allow people to gather and learn from peers. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: On one side is the collaborative office space for the counsellors, while there are 8 private pods on the other side. By conceiving them as standalone volumes, small pocket spaces are created where students can wait privately for their meeting, or enjoy a quiet moment. In the middle is a common space where students and teachers come and go, passing through the space, meeting their friends. Diverse activities happen in this white space. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in January 2019 and was completed in November 2019. It is located inside Yew Chung International School, Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Interior Space and Exhibition Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Effort was put to minimize the material palette to white paint, white vinyl floor, grey felt, grey granolithic, patterned glass and greenery. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: There are 8 private hubs in the Student Service Centre, each of 2.5m by 2.5m. Thin walls, yet to fulfil the acoustic requirements for private conversation, are constructed. Each hub has a light trough above that acts as the room indicating light. TAGS: see and feel, white, hong kong, light, shadow, perception, education, eureka RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The design process started with a physical model, and the desire of sitting in the calm and relaxed environment for private conversation expressed in a montage. These in turn dictated the plan of the space. CHALLENGE: The challenge lies in reconceptualizing the whole students service centre, which traditionally, each counsellor would have his or her own office; and also to locate the usual very private activity in the centre of the school. The design tries to articulate different degrees of privacy in a small space, yet without sacrificing spatial qualities. Greenery and natural light are introduced to various small corners.

NAME: Eureka Limited PROFILE: Eureka is a Hong Kong based architectural studio established in 2011 aiming to create a multi-layered experience. Architecture is not just about being visual. It is an opportunity to use the resources to build to bring in other values. DOUBLE AGENDA is what we believe in. We create commons, be it in a home, a school, or in society, to encourage new and positive interactions between people. Meaningful space can transform people’s behaviour. We do not believe in excess. We want honesty in our materials and construction, and connect space with nature and surrounding. To feel the beauty. Architecture should have narratives, and sensibility. We focus our works in our home city Hong Kong. Currently, we are working on a new-built kindergarten, an intergeneration co-living residential tower, a HK crafts foundation and other interior projects. |
