“The dynamic lifestyles of contemporary families drove the concept for this clubhouse; The key element is a curvy, fabric-covered, feature wall that runs across the space to create various functional spaces inside and outside of it.” – Lorène Faure, co-founder of Bean Buro
“The voluptuous quality of the feature fabric wall was a result of a rigorous process of computer modelling, handmade models, prototypes, and careful craftsmanship. The undulating curves generate a sense of movement and engagement for the clubhouse.” – Kenny Kinugasa-Tsui, co-founder of Bean Buro
The new campus design signifies a highly linked & connected institution. It looks into the compact urban condition of Hong Kong itself for direct inspiration and epitomizes a miniature city, dense and connected. The spatial organization maximizes density by stacking multiple slab blocks of different programs vertically on top of each other over a podium of communal activities, including a number of lecture theatres and a gymnasium.

MET Studio has been commissioned as the lead exhibition designer for a 2,000 sq m Environmental Education Centre to be housed within the new Sludge Treatment Facility in the Tuen Mun district of Hong Kong, which will be the world’s largest of its kind on completion.
The project is being funded by the Environmental Protection Department of the Hong Kong SAR Government and will be designed, built and operated by a joint venture of Veolia Water and Veolia Environmental Services. The joint venture client subsequently commissioned MET Studio (on a ‘design & build’ contract with partner Hypsos Leisure Asia Ltd) to create the majority of the interior attractions within the centre that adjoins the plant, such as an interactive exhibition gallery, a visitor gallery, a lecture theatre and a café.
