Like a prism dispersing monochromatic light into a spectrum of colours, khromis is a catalyst for transformation. Each frame empowers the individual to reveal a whole palette of emotions and personalities. Resembling a pair of glasses, the logo is also an expression of refracted light paths. The interior uses mirrors to create reflections and perspective, manoeuvring light to display the product in the best possible way. A touch of wood warms up the interior, along with the coffee bar in the corner, creating a comfortable atmosphere for a multi -sensory experience.

Moreover, all the paper documents were exposed and look messy. The living room is full of debris and look untidy. ” Fluidity, openness, brightness and tidiness” as suggested by Sim-Plex to client, are the wordings which would be achieved in this project.

The challenge of designing a space for the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) in Hong Kong was to offer the most flexible framework for a variety of activities such as workshops, exhibitions, performances and others to happen. The rough concrete shell was therefore planned as a adaptive spatial infrastructure. To reinforce the concept of a “tunnel” between Zurich and Hong Kong and invite the neighbourhood to interact with the space the façade is worked out as a porous interface. Instead of a fix facade two layers of polycarbonate roller shutters create a translucent buffer zone that can alternately or simultaneously lift up and fully open the end of the “tunnel” to the street. The 25m long room can on the other hand be configured in a sequence of different sized spaces.
