打破傳統校舍限制 狹縫中茁壯開花的音樂廳丨港產國際級建築師阮文韜 - ELLEMEN HONGKONG
www.ellemen.com.hk
前年進軍學界，主角是90年代建校的九龍塘宣道小學，他破「校」荒地創建出一個「懸浮音樂廳」(Wallflower ，意指狹縫中的⾳樂廳），從照片看來這設計概念是香港鮮有。宣道小學為傳統校舍本貌，要在不算寬敞的中庭建一座音....Thank you! Ellemen, Lap and Trazy. We owe everything to the great team at APS and the client
A House is Playful - Groundwork’s Play House
For 7,000 HKD (903 USD) per month, the accommodations that one may afford in Hong Kong are very small. Nowadays, for these flats to appear larger on-line, real estate agencies would take their on-site photos with extra wide-angle camera lens (a.k.a “fish -eye lens”).
“Groundwork’s Play House” was a simple comparison of accommodation sizes that one may be able to afford for 7,000 HKD per month at different cities across the world. It was amusing to realize that for 7,000 HKD per month, one may only be able to afford a flat that is the size of a standard on-suite bathroom in North America, but there is nothing amusing about this sad phenomenon when we later realized that these poor living conditions are gradually accepted by the public and absorbed into Hong Kong's social fabric.
Hopefully, our small intervention may demonstrate to Hong Kong’s public an inconvenient reality that we must address solemnly.
