Congratulations to ‘S/ASH /IVING’, a project designed by our recent Environment and Interior Design graduate TAM Kwan Yiu Koko, on receiving several regional and international awards! The latest good news is received from this year's IFI Global Awards Program (IFI GAP) where Koko is named the Gold winner of the Student Category. The project was selected by the international jury members from 563 outstanding entries across 38 countries and regions.
The project is also the Prize Winner in Architectural Design / Mixed Use Architecture, Architecture Masterprize 2019; Best Interior Design, A&D Trophy Awards 2019 (full story); and Silver of the Student Category, 2019 APIDA.
The project is to design a place for individual millennial professionals (slash career workers). It should ideally be highly flexible, self-sufficient and sharable. It caters for the usages for different times in a day while introducing a sharing economy of furniture, space, and services. People no longer identify weekdays and weekends, as their jobs cover 24 hours, hence the change of spaces will be according to their needs. Transformable building parts are controlled by an app. Users may select their available timeslots for events, leaving this a multi-functional Workplace x Residential building.
'S/ASH/IVING' is set for the Yue Man Building, Kwun Tong, Hong Kong. Koko’s supervising tutor is Peter Hasdell.
