The building was built in the 1970s, and despite small renovation works has been periodically carried out, after enduring over 40 years, the interior space needs to be upgraded to match with current needs and safety considerations.
The building itself was an Award winner designed by Dr.Tao Ho back in the days it first opened. The team was invited to give the atrium space not only an updated design but also use the opportunity to bring out the characters of this unique building, giving this 40 years old building an updated appearance that can bring it back to the forefront.
SLHO & ASSOCIATES LTD. is an award winning design firm based in Hong Kong with international exposure. The team here aims to provide design solutions that are appropriate, innovative yet cost effective and non-conforming to mediocrity.
We believe architecture, interior design and urban planning are part problem solving, part anticipating the psychological perception the future users will experience, part questioning, re-evaluating the generally accepted norm, and part pushing the envelope of what architecture is about, providing a solution that will evolve with time.
