GLASS IN ARCHITECTURE
Shaping a Greener, Smarter Future
ARCHITECTURAL GLASS IS TAKING CENTRE STAGE IN ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY DESIGN
The architectural glass market is growing rapidly as the global construction industry shifts toward more innovative, sustainable, and energy-efficient materials.
Once seen as just a decorative feature, glass has become a crucial part of modern architecture, offering practical benefits like energy efficiency and advanced technology. As the push for green building practices gains momentum worldwide, architectural glass is taking centre stage in environmentally friendly design.
With climate change being a key factor, governments around the globe are introducing tougher energy efficiency regulations to cut carbon emissions. Glass is stepping up to meet the challenge. Technologies like low-emissivity (Low-E) glass are making buildings more energy efficient by reducing heat transfer. These advancements aren’t just about saving energy, they’re about reimagining how we design spaces for a greener future.
SMART GLASS EVOLUTION
The landscape of modern architecture revolves around concepts of sustainability and a return to form. Eco-friendly practices, use of smart materials, adaptive and reactive elements and a penchant for indooroutdoor living are some of the prevalent proclivities in design today. The use of smart glass is a culmination of these ideas in a neat package.
Biophilic Design aims to reinforce the connection a building and its denizens might have with the surrounding nature.
Rooted in concepts of indoor-outdoor living, biophilic design takes this approach to the next level by using natural elements, directly or indirectly, to bring the environment inside the building spaces. One of the easiest ways of achieving this design philosophy is to use glass. Transparency of glass, coupled with the many technological advancements surrounding it, creates an opportunity for architects to truly meld the interior space with the exterior space. However, the use of glass also costs privacy, and in many cases, creates a higher energy cost in heat regulation as it has historically not been as practical for insulation.
Smart glass removes that cost and instead allows for a seamless and dynamic control of interior lighting and heat by changing its transparency.
A pioneering player in the field of smart materials, smart glass elements respond to contemporary questions of architecture about sustainability, innovation, and functionality, all the while allowing for interesting visual elements. Capable of dynamically adjusting opacity in order to control heat and light regulation, it also allows for more privacy. These smart glass elements allow for designers to blur the lines between interior and exterior spaces, while being able to fine tune elements such as interior temperature and levels of natural light… Currently, there are two main types of smart glass: electrically switchable smart glass and thermochromic smart glass.

VITRO
Thermochromic glass uses phase-changing polymers that respond to heat, usually from the sun, becoming opaque to regulate temperature and lighting. Electrically switchable smart glass, or electrochromic glass, uses bursts of electric pulses to change its opacity.
Glass has been a prominent material used in architecture for a long time, however, recent technological advancements have allowed it to be used in truly innovative ways, even in climates where it wasn’t always as practical to use. Either as regular windows or a facade, smart glass provides innovative and functional solutions to the majority of design issues faced by architects in the modern age.
The future of architectural glass is bright, with technology and sustainability shaping its evolution. Smart glass, with its ability to adapt to changing light and heat, is set to redefine how we design and use buildings. Meanwhile, innovations
in manufacturing are making glass even more sustainable and versatile.
Once seen as just a decorative feature, glass has become a crucial part of modern architecture, o ering practical benefits like energy e ciency and advanced technology. As the push for green building practices gains momentum worldwide, architectural glass is taking centre stage in environmentally friendly design.
As construction scales up globally and the emphasis on green building intensifies, the demand for advanced glass solutions will
continue to rise. For businesses and industry leaders, investing in cutting-edge glass technologies isn’t just an opportunity, it’s a way to meet the growing call for innovation and sustainability in the built environment.
ELECTROCHROMIC GLASS: REVOLUTIONISING MODERN ARCHITECTURE
Electrochromic glass, often referred to as “smart glass,” is an intelligent glazing solution that can change its tint and reflective properties in response to external conditions. By applying a low-voltage current, this dynamic material adapts to temperature, sunlight, and room occupancy. It can operate automatically, under manual control, or in a hybrid mode, o ering unparalleled versatility.
Glass – Cool-Lite ST Bright Silver European Patent O ce (EPO) in Ryswick, Netherlands
Saint-Gobain
Embedded with advanced sensors, the glass constantly monitors sunlight, occupancy, and the solar angle. Using this data, it determines the most suitable mode, Glare Mode, Daylight Mode, Clear Mode, or Tinted Mode, or each pane of glass based on its position and orientation. For example, in a building equipped with electrochromic glass, the east-facing windows may activate Glare Mode during the morning to minimise discomfort, while other areas remain clear to optimise daylight. As the day heats up, the system transitions to full-tint mode to reduce cooling demands. By evening, the west-facing windows tint to block glare from the setting sun, while others clear to maximise light.
In essence, electrochromic glass ensures that interiors remain comfortable while exteriors retain their visual appeal. Beyond its aesthetic and functional advantages, electrochromic glass significantly enhances energy e ciency. By reducing the building’s energy consumption by up to 20% and peak cooling demands by up to 30%, it lowers electricity costs while minimising the need for blinds and shades. Additionally, its advanced fading protection ensures durability and longevity.
This energy-saving innovation is also a boon for green building certifications. Installing electrochromic glass can earn a building up to 12 LEED points, the highest achieved by any single technology. It also increases the property’s rental and resale value, making it a savvy investment for developers.

PRECISION IN MOTION
The Crescent Project: Advanced facade engineering for a complex, multi-use development
The Crescent Project, located in Baku, Azerbaijan, is a large-scale and highly complex development that integrates hotel, residential, office, and retail functions within a single architectural scheme.
The project, owned by Pasha Holding, involved numerous local and international subcontractors and suppliers throughout its construction phase, engaging specialised companies for critical components such as form-work systems, steel fabrication, and advanced facade works. Its location on an artificial island, combined with its challenging geometric architecture, required a high level of coordination between the main contractor and various specialist subcontractors.
Within this framework, Çuhadaroğlu played an active role in the design, engineering, detailing, production, and installation of the facade systems. During the design phase, architectural drawings and engineering details were aligned to ensure a seamless transition from concept to execution, supported by project management meetings, model and drawing approval processes, and on-site technical assistance. This collaborative approach ensured accurate implementation of the design, both aesthetically and structurally.
From a facade engineering perspective, Crescent is an exceptionally sophisticated project. Five customdesigned systems were utilised across the building, requiring an extensive architectural and engineering team for their development and execution. The crescent-shaped and inclined form of the hotel demanded non-standard facade solutions; the facade system was optimised according to the varying glass angles on each floor. Consequently, the glass panel profiles and connection details were uniquely designed for each level. Special connection
and support systems were carefully engineered to address the structure’s asymmetric loads, wind forces, and other challenging environmental and structural conditions. The facade design process began with 3D modelling and engineering analyses, progressing through mockup production, rigorous performance testing, and the development of detailed installation and assembly methodologies.
Crescent features a 40,000m2 facade, including 33,000m2 of glass and 7,000m2 of cladding. Its scale and complexity
required multidisciplinary teams across production, planning, installation, and quality control. Çuhadaroğlu began work in 2018, delivering design, detailing, and production alongside on-site installation, with all engineering and installation successfully completed in 2020.

THE BOUNDARY
An
interview with Toni Buzolic and Nora Galimberti, The Boundary, on CGI in design & development
What role does architectural visualisation play in shaping the future of property design and development?
Architectural visualisation plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of property design and development by bridging the gap between concept and experience. It allows stakeholders to make better, faster decisions – from design refinement to investor buy-in – by presenting ideas in an emotionally engaging way. As technology advances, visualisation is becoming more than a presentation tool; it’s influencing how spaces are conceived, tested, and marketed. In high-end residential, especially, it helps define the lifestyle narrative early on, setting a benchmark for quality and ambition.
How has the demand for high-quality visualisations evolved in the real estate and architecture industries?
The demand for high-quality visualisations has grown significantly over the past decade. As clients and investors have become more visually literate and digitally savvy, expectations have risen. They now want to experience the space before it’s built, not just understand it. This means visualisations must deliver not only photorealism, but also emotional impact, storytelling, and lifestyle cues. Clients now expect more than static renders – they want immersive, emotionally engaging experiences that allow them to ‘feel’ the space before it’s built. The rise of real-time rendering is accelerating this shift, enabling interactive, cinematic presentations that transform how designs are reviewed, marketed, and sold. Visualisation has become not just a communication tool, but a strategic asset.
What are the key elements that make an architectural rendering truly stand out?
Our approach is to aim for a photographic look. Once lighting and composition are nailed down, the foundations are strong enough for us to develop a narrative that conveys emotions subtly yet powerfully. This is what stands out – what people feel when looking at our content.
Partnering to work on an iconic project like The Whiteley, there is already a plethora of history attached to it, with a story to be told. Architectural quality and heritage formed the focus of the proposal and design process, driven by the retention of the historic Queensway façade. Understanding that visuals were required to not only highlight the redevelopment but also to bring it back to life in a new light was a key concept from the start. This ensured we were able to craft the right atmosphere and what it is set to be.
TONI BUZOLIC Chief Creative Officer at The Boundary
How do you see technology, such as AI and VR, influencing the future of architectural visualisation?
Technological advancement is inevitable and has to be embraced. I see each new development as an exciting opportunity to speed the image-making process up, so creatives have more space and time to focus on what they enjoy and excel at doing.
We are building and implementing our own proprietary AI tools that are safe to use from an intellectual property perspective and effectively enhance the user experience. AI is just another tool, one that is quickly growing and it will be key for our industry to be ahead of the curve.
VR, on the other hand, is not the major industry player that we expected it to be, especially in marketing and sales content. After the initial excitement, it seems like clients are not too keen to explore their product in an isolating and “gamey” environment, not to mention the motion
sickness. Real-time content is better conveyed through more traditional media, online and offline, like tablets and touch screens. Our team is constantly working on ways to improve the quality of real-time rendering and leveraging the possibilities of it.
What advice would you give to firms looking to leverage visualisation for competitive advantage in property awards and marketing?
For firms aiming to stand out in awards and marketing, especially in the high-end residential space, my advice is to invest in top-tier visualisation that goes beyond just accurate representation. The imagery should feel aspirational – capturing not only the architecture but also the emotion, lifestyle, and exclusivity the design promises. When done well, visualisation becomes a strategic storytelling tool, delivering cinematic, photoreal visuals that are indistinguishable from reality and resonate deeply with discerning audiences, juries, and potential buyers alike.

THE ART OF MOTION
An interview with Alexander Wong Architects
Coming off his fourth consecutive win for “World’s Best Interior Design” at the prestigious International Property Awards 2024-2025, Alexander Wong continues to redefine the future of experiential architecture with innovation and elegance.
His latest triumph, Spiral Sky & Ocean Aria at the luxurious Regala Skycity Hotel, is a visually stunning, immersive space that beautifully blurs the line between art and architecture. We interviewed the visionary designer to discuss his creative journey, the challenges behind the ground breaking project, and the collaborative spirit that made it all possible.
Congratulations on your fourth “World’s Best Interior Design” award! What does this continued success mean for you and your team, and how does it influence your vision for future projects?
First and foremost, it is a huge honour to be awarded this most coveted award for the fourth time since 2017. Looking back, our team, including everyone in our entire company, is grateful to the judges of IPA, our clients, our design team, builders, collaborating consultants, suppliers, like Arnhold & Co., Ltd., photographers and so many experts in their respective fields. Getting an award this big, or any awards big or small for that matter, is always a collaborative effort. We just feel so fortunate to be able to showcase all this hard work on the global platform of IPA, sharing the limelight with everyone else. Winning awards is always wonderful, inspiring and reinforces the belief that our original design methodology evolved throughout the years is a successful outcome of a promising and worthwhile journey. These accolades will spur us to keep learning, searching for more inspirational ideas and create designs that will touch the heart and soul of everyone.
Spiral Sky & Ocean Aria is a bold departure from traditional banquet hall designs. Could you walk us through the inspiration behind the project’s concept and how it reflects your signature approach to experiential design?
I remember quite vividly our entire design process, no matter how arduous it seemed at the time, from start to finish. We had many design options with Spiral Sky standing out to be the strongest one and our clients also agreed. The original design intent was to construct an awe-inspiring, fun and dynamic space. However, the main challenge to design any Hotel Banquet Hall is this intrinsic requirement to provide sliding panels in sub-dividing a big space into smaller ones, thus allowing several different occasions to occur simultaneously as well as adjacently to one another, but with a big price to pay, as this invariably ends up carving up

WM Hotel by Alexander Wong Architects
the big space in an orthogonal manner which results in drastically reducing the dynamic qualities of the space itself. The Spiral Sky approach totally breaks this tradition with an amazingly original design for the ceiling which is anti-orthogonal and completely dynamic, almost like an Argentine Tango in motion. So the end results very much reflect the original design intent to a T.
Seeing spiralling white frames on the ceiling creates an illusion of movement; a striking, kinetic effect rarely seen in hospitality interiors. What inspired this specific design language, and what experience were you hoping to evoke for guests?
If our mission as designers is to create meanings through design based on culture, history and technology, whilst fulfilling the functional needs of the users, then Spiral Sky is a perfect example to illustrate our “mission accomplished”. Firstly, one must ask what actually takes place in a Banquet Hall of a five star hotel. The answer most likely would be some kind of big events like weddings, anniversaries, international conferences, talks by celebrated and iconic personalities, glamourous gatherings or parties with music and dancing, and the list goes on.
So our belief is such that the design should be a direct metaphor of what’s actually happening in the hall itself. The dynamism on the ceiling, together with the special lighting that changes colours is a perfect analogy as well as description of the celebrations under the “Spiral Sky”. The effect is truly powerful and provides relevant significance for everyone as the meaning matches perfectly with the inner desires and state of mind of the users.
Every ambitious design comes with its own set of challenges. What were the biggest challenges and technical hurdles you faced while bringing this project to life, and how did you and your team overcome them?
Besides the moving partitions subdividing the Hall into different sections, thus allowing multiple events to take place simultaneously, there was a series of technical issues which must be considered. Stage spotlights on truss bars, giant LED TV screens, Gobo lights, loud speakers and acoustic concerns, back of house issues, maintenance and cleaning requirements, HVAC, lighting, fire services, and the list never ends.
Just the spiralling frames alone on the ceiling with colour-changing LED strips took many hours of trial and error with our special lighting consultants to achieve the desired effect. In addition, just like any other projects, there were numerous practical, buildability and cost related issues to be resolved. So, looking back, we had to overcome countless hurdles including technical, structural, logistical, budgetary ones, in order to realise our common goal which is to construct an out-of-this-world, state-of-the-art Banquet Hall fit for global travellers from all over the world to experience at the Hong Kong International Airport.
Synergy between creative and technical minds make the projects like this possible. Could you share insights on the key partners you collaborated with and how their expertise contributed to achieving this remarkable outcome?
Not forgetting, we have to thank our consultants in Special Lighting Design, Tino Kwan Lighting, and Audio-Visual Engineering, Betrue Limited. They have been stellar throughout and dedicated much effort with their respective input to reach for the highest standards within their field of expertise. Our on-site team and talented designers at our office also made many alterations to continuously improve the design in order to accommodate any ad-hoc changes. It was a long and arduous process to say the least.
With Spiral Sky & Ocean Aria now celebrated on the world stage as “World’s Best Interior Design”, alongside multiple other awards this year. What message do you think these achievements send to the global design community? And what’s next for Alexander Wong Architects?
Hopefully, this media attention will inspire many other architects, interior designers, product, lighting, furniture designers, local as well as international, to strive for more original designs that serve our communities and users better. Perhaps we have set a higher bar today but it will certainly be overtaken by some other projects in the near future. This is so exciting and we cannot wait to see amazing designs on a game-changing level coming from different parts of the world every day! As for our team, we are currently busy with many exciting and challenging projects which keep us awake all night at times. Regarding their details, you will have to wait and see just like everyone else. “Anticipation makes the heart grows fonder” as they say, wouldn’t you agree?

GLOBAL VISION
How Ms Fu Chiong-Hui, Director of Yuli DESIGN, transforms abstract art into immersive spaces
Yuli Design, led by design director Ms Fu Chiong-Hui, continues to make its mark on the international stage with a refined blend of creativity and spatial storytelling.
Their latest achievement, the Asia Pacific Property Award 20252026 for Best Home Staging Taiwan with Songe d’Été Marais, is a testament to their design excellence. In this interview, Ms Fu shares insights into the inspiration behind the award-winning project, the studio’s evolving philosophy, and the future of Yuli Design.
Congratulations on winning the Asia Pacific Property Award 2025 with Songe d’Été Marais! Could you share your journey in design and what inspired you to establish Yuli Design?
I have a background in art and fashion, but I have been working in the field of interior design for 31 years – without even realising it.
During these years, I have studied architecture, taken additional design credits at the Taiwan Institute of Interior Design and the Chelsea College of the University of the Arts London and completed management courses to enhance my design management skills.
I am doing my best to keep my design career up to date with the times. I founded the Yuli International Design team with the goal of keeping up with international standards in the fast-changing design world. I hope to find more like-minded partners by presenting new ideas in design.
What core philosophy drives Yuli Design’s creative vision, and how does international recognition influence your future direction both creatively and strategically?
Yuli Design focuses on realising art through customisation, comfort, practicality, and fulfilling our clients’ dreams. We strongly advocate for logical planning before renovation to minimise waste and support environmental sustainability. Receiving this honour reaffirms our status as a top luxury design brand and boosts our confidence to showcase innovative concepts in home art creation moving forward. Songe d’Été Marais blends poetic aesthetics with spatial innovation.

What was the conceptual inspiration behind the design, and how did you translate that into the spatial experience?
The inspiration originated from Marais’s surreal dream (Songe d’Été Marais), connecting abstract art with every day public and private art. We transformed these ideas into an immersive spatial experience aimed at healing through art. By deepening the symbolic metaphors of the area, the design encourages viewers to engage with the space on multiple perceptual levels. The environment not only enriches the visual impact of the artworks but also evokes a soulful, healing sensation.
How did the design team navigate challenges during the project, whether in materials, spatial constraints, or client expectations, to maintain the integrity of the design?
Our design team overcomes challenges by following a clear process from pre-design planning through to project completion. We begin by understanding the client’s needs and expectations, then finalise the style. After that, we establish a rational budget and carefully review materials to ensure both quality and feasibility. Finally, we implement the plan, making adjustments as necessary while preserving the design’s integrity throughout the project. This structured approach enables us to effectively manage constraints related to materials, space, and client demands, ensuring each project fulfils its unique vision and requirements.
Can you tell us about the key partners or collaborators involved in this project, and how their expertise contributed to bringing this award-winning vision to life?
My partners, Ken Lee and Pam, played essential roles in conceptualising and executing the design drawings. Their efforts, combined with the dedication of our entire construction team, were vital in bringing this vision to life.

DESIGN IN STILL MOTION
THE LIGHTNESS OF AIR
An Interview with Jeremy Tay & Michael Ong, Founders & Directors, Prestige Global Designs
In this exclusive interview, Prestige Global Designs unveils the vision behind The Lightness of Air, their award-winning project at the 2025–2026 Asia Pacific Property Awards. In collaboration with Crestar and SPIN, the experiential lab reimagines the traditional showroom as an immersive, sensory space that captures the fluidity, elegance, and lightness of air. Blending aesthetic beauty with functional storytelling, the design reflects Prestige’s dedication to innovation, personalisation, and the evolving future of luxury design.
What inspired the conceptual approach to this project, and how did you translate something as intangible as “air” into a tangible spatial experience?
The inspiration for “The Lightness of Air” stemmed from the idea of creating a space that embodies the essence of air – its fluidity, transparency, and the sense of freedom it evokes. We wanted to create a space that invites users to connect with
their surroundings. By incorporating elements like high ceilings, we aimed to reflect the enchanting qualities of air itself.
Our team was inspired by the gentle movement of air and its impact on shaping our environments. We translated this concept into architectural forms by using soft curves and organic shapes that mimic natural phenomena. The design features light colours, open layouts and fanblade-like walls, allowing light and air to filter through and creating an ethereal quality within the space. This further emphasises the connection between architecture and the intangible nature of air, evoking emotions of serenity and tranquillity, akin to the calmness of a gentle breeze, while enhancing the user’s experience of light and space.
Our vision for “The Lightness of Air” was informed by the relationship between movement and stillness. Using real-life settings such as living and bedroom interiors, we allowed our client’s products to adapt to different uses, showcasing

the versatility of air as an element. The overall experiential atmosphere captures the essence of air, bringing ease and comfort to those who inhabit the space.
How do you adjust your creative process when designing a private residence versus a public-facing retail space, especially when aiming to maintain a coherent brand of luxury and elegance?
Designing a private residence versus a public retail space requires distinct adjustments, all while maintaining a cohesive brand image of luxury and sophistication. In private homes, the focus is on creating intimate, personalised environments that reflect the homeowner’s unique style, incorporating rich textures, custom furnishings, and layouts that foster comfort and family connection. On the other hand, retail spaces prioritise brand identity and customer interaction, demanding visually captivating designs that highlight products and convey a brand narrative. This encompasses unified branding, engaging

displays, and a welcoming atmosphere that enriches the shopping experience. Despite these variations, maintaining consistency in design elements – such as colours and materials – creates a smooth transition between spaces, reinforcing the brand’s luxurious and elegant persona, whether in a private sanctuary or a lively retail setting.
“The Lightness of Air” is the Crestar and SPIN Experiential Lab –a space designed to reflect the premium essence of both brands. How did this collaboration with SPIN influence your creative direction, and what were some of the key considerations in balancing functionality with aesthetic inspiration?
It embodies the essence of both brands, showcasing their commitment to premium quality and innovation. Collaborating with Crestar and SPIN greatly influenced our creative direction by emphasising the importance of interactivity and user experience in the design. This partnership encouraged us to think beyond aesthetics, focusing on how the space would function and engage visitors. We focused on allowing customers to engage with the fans through hands-on interaction while ensuring a clear layout. Highquality materials and finishes, such as sintered stone and gourmet islands, were selected to maintain the luxurious image of both brands while being practical for high-traffic areas. The design incorporated natural and ambient lighting to create a welcoming atmosphere that enhances the experience. We planned adaptable spaces for displays, demonstrations, and events, ensuring versatility without compromising design. A cohesive colour palette, textures, and branding elements were used to highlight both brands’ identities, creating a smooth visual flow throughout the lab.
Overall, this collaboration transformed the space into an interactive showcase that encapsulates the elegance and lightness that both brands represent. The showroom is designed to inspire through real-life vignettes and thoughtful layouts. How did you approach the flow and zoning of the space to enhance both customer experience and brand storytelling?
To enhance the customer experience and brand storytelling in the showroom, we focused on strategic flow and zoning, incorporating real-life vignettes. Key areas showcased Crestar and SPIN products within themed contexts such as living rooms, kitchens, and bedrooms, helping customers visualise their integration into daily life.
We designed clear pathways for easy navigation and interaction, encouraging hands-on engagement with the products. Open areas, such as the gourmet kitchen, facilitated demonstrations, while quieter zones, like the bedroom and meeting room, allowed for reflection. This approach created a memorable journey that effectively conveyed the brand’s story and inspired customers to take action.
With sustainability, wellness, and personalisation becoming central themes in luxury design, how do you see Prestige Global Designs evolving over the next few years?
In the coming years, Prestige Global Designs is likely to prioritise sustainability, wellness, and personalisation, while continuing to embrace its “no rules” design philosophy. As eco-conscious consumers emerge, the brand could enhance its use of sustainable materials by integrating solutions that minimise environmental impact without compromising luxury. Wellness-focused designs often incorporate biophilic elements, such as natural light and greenery, to promote tranquillity and comfort. Personalisation will play a crucial role, enabling clients to customise furniture and spaces according to their individual preferences. Ultimately, Prestige Global Designs may redefine luxury by harmonising sustainability, wellness, and personal expression, resonating with the values and aspirations of modern consumers.

INTENTIONAL SPACES
An insight to Hozhao’s inspirations, values and designs with Ms Iris Liu
Hozhao Interior Design creates calm, intentional spaces that stand out. Their latest project, Ink Realm, received international recognition for its serene blend of traditional aesthetics, smart functionality, and minimalist elegance.
The retirement home presents itself as a sanctuary through its design elements and reimagines aging in place through light, nature, and thoughtful design. We spoke with Design Director Iris Liu to explore Ink Realm’s intentions, the philosophy behind their work, and what’s next for the studio.
While your projects speak with quiet clarity, there’s little publicly known about the people behind Hozhao. Could you share more about you, your team, and the values that shape your studio’s design approach?
I believe in nurturing creativity within the team and fostering a spirit of collaboration rooted in shared goals. This reflects the flexible leadership model I practise. I promote participatory decision-making by encouraging open communication and active exchange of ideas, which enhances the team’s sense of ownership and cohesion. This reflects my participatory approach to leadership.
I allocate roles and resources according to each team member’s strengths and capabilities, adapting fluidly to the needs of each project. This is my approach to responsive delegation and adaptive teamwork. For each task, I clearly define goals, lay out actionable steps, and guide the team through uncertainties and challenges. This reflects my practical approach to communication and coordination.
In short, cultivating a clear leadership style rooted in rationality and professionalism fosters a stable, harmonious environment where collaboration, execution, and shared success form our core values.
Ink Realm has received multiple international awards, including the 2025-2026 Asia Pacific Property Award. How did this particular project embody your studio’s design philosophy on a global stage?
The concept of truth, kindness, and beauty dates back to the Roman philosopher Cicero, who saw them as three essential, interrelated pillars of a meaningful life. To me, truth means engaging with clients with sincerity; kindness is about caring for everyone who experiences our spaces; and beauty lies in creating living scenes that are both emotionally resonant and functionally

grounded. Every project we undertake is an embodiment of these three values. In short, awards bring recognition, but dialogue builds bridges. Interaction is key to advancing design thinking.
Ink Realm seamlessly weaves together nature, tradition, and technology. How did you achieve this balance between poetic minimalism and functional innovation?
“Balance” and “moderation” have long shaped my personal conduct and naturally evolved into the foundation of my design principles. In every project, I place “balance” and “comfort” at the core of my creative philosophy.
I often employ minimalist design, crisp lines and neutral tones, to express simplicity, while preserving cultural depth and narrative detail. I reinterpret traditional techniques in a contemporary form – bridging past and present, and creating emotionally resonant spaces. Within the logic of minimal living, I follow the “less is more” principle to fulfil spatial needs with clarity, rhythm, and flexibility. This belief forms the foundation of my design ethos.
In summary, I use contemporary techniques to achieve a balance between function and aesthetics, preserving cultural heritage and extending collective memory.
The project transforms retirement living into a dignified, elegant, and sustainable experience. What inspired this focus, and how does it reshape the narrative of aging in design?
In terms of design details, we prioritised several key aspects:
• Barrier-free circulation and safety-enhancing configurations
• Clearly identifiable wayfinding systems
• Materials with warm textures and tactile comfort
• Good ventilation and natural lighting
• Flexible furniture configurations that adapt to different needs
Ultimately, the essence of senior space design lies not only in care, but in respect.
How has receiving international recognition impacted your team at Hozhao, and in what ways might it influence your future direction?
International awards serve as a powerful source of momentum for our company. They uplift morale and strengthen cohesion, ensuring every ounce of effort and creativity is recognised.
Winning an award represents a milestone, but our long-term goal is the continuous pursuit of professionalism and excellence. We remain committed to our original intent: to progress steadily, work with grace, and stay mindful of sustainability.
