With close communication with client and also after careful review of the architectural merit with specialist, a more radical approach was adopted for the renovation of the Ancestor Hall. The desire to create connections with the exterior landscape and retains privacy at the same time for the sacred interior calls for an alternating elevation treatment of 120mm diameter treated pine poles and 120mm wide glass. The rhythm is derived from studying the dimensions of the existing building and its elements. Soffits, balustrades, stone floors were all carefully proportioned.
Eureka is a Hong Kong based architectural design studio established in 2011 aiming to create a multi-layered experience. Believe in script-writing and the idea of 'polytropic' (with more than one author), the studio explores the existed typology and spaces through collecting, changing, redefining and creating situations, and hence the design. At the same time, we believe in project implementation, and oversee our design from the beginning to completion. Projects vary from small installations to interiors, cycling parks, private houses, future planning of a school campus, a winery and a Buddhist park.
