design statement

Refurbishing an existing building is never merely to upgrade the physical appearance but to re-investigate into the potential of the existing spaces, to re-discover the essence in them, and with creativities in the re-configuration, to re-present them to the building users with brand new spatial experiences that we have long anticipated.
