01 Hong Kong House at Echigo Tsumari

The Echigo Tsumari Art Triennale is the largest outdoor art festival in Japan, with the vision of revitalizing the ailing rural communities through art and exhibitions. LAAB won the competition to design Hong Kong House— a gallery and an artist residence— to host Hong Kong artists and their work in Echigo, Japan.

Located at the periphery of Tsunan Town in Niigata Prefecture, Hong Kong House fills up the north corner of a pocket garden in a peaceful neighborhood surrounded by local dwellings. Closely overseeing the Kamigo Clove Theater, one of the major venues for Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale, Hong Kong House is a new community hub for Kamigo neighbourhood in Tsunan and a major platform for Hong Kong artists to share their works in the Echigo-Tsumari Art Field.

Instead of building a landmark, LAAB integrated Hong Kong House into this peaceful and serene village. Inspired by the green and picturesque landscape, LAAB used tree branching form as the main structural element to support the gable roof and the floor of the artists quarter. Animated by the faceted and titled entrance façade, the simple pitched roof geometry resonates with the many vernacular structures in the neighbourhood.

02 99Commons

99 COMMONS is a reinvented workshop tower in Tuen Mun designed to revitalize the aging industrial town by gathering a community of young entrepreneurs and creatives. LAAB distilled elements from the surrounding nature, such as the iconic Castle Peak, the blue sky, the tree branches, and the Light Rail, to inform the design and crafts of the façade and lobby interior.

The building façade was designed by pixelating the Castle Peak and the blue sky. Four types of ceramic tiles with different shades of green and blue were digitally programmed to curate a controlled yet organic visual tessellation. 1:1 mockups were experimented on-site to achieve an organic composition of hue and glossiness.

There are a total of 338 individual units on 18 floors at 99 COMMONS. Each Studio Unit enjoys a big square window. The structural engineer eliminated the corner columns for all Corner Units with a cantilever structure. The glass curtain wall of the Corner Units and the Penthouse maximizes sunlight as well as the mountain view, while at the same time creating an iconic T-shape for the architectural profile at the street corner.

03 Animal Shelter

Operated by the House of Joy and Mercy, a non-profit animal organization, the Animal Shelter is a foster home for stray dogs and other abandoned animals. According to animal rights organizations, at least 4,000 animals have been displaced as a result of the government’s Northeast New Territories New Development Planning. The shelter acts as a temporary settlement before these abandoned dogs find a new home.


LAAB envisioned the shelter as a big canopy under which different lives have their own space while being able to engage with each other in oneness. Surrounding a tree, the pavilion hosts several programs, including six rooms for 50 dogs, a care room for sick dogs, a lounge, and an office.


Each dog room has two entrances, one leading to the courtyard and the other to the backyard. The courtyard caters for public engagements while the backyard allows for private one-to-one outdoor training.

04 Harbour Kiosk

Recognized as the first kinetic public architecture in Hong Kong, Harbour Kiosk is a transformable food kiosk located on the Avenue of Stars, a landmark that celebrates the success of the movie industry. Inspired by the local market stalls in Hong Kong, Harbour Kiosk automatically transforms its gate into an awning during the day and returns to its compact shape at night. The kinetic motion pays tribute to the action movies that our city is famous for.

The cinematic movement is achieved by the 49 robotic arms behind the profiled timber fins. The wave generator system moves the timber fins in waves throughout the day to resonate with harbour waves, establishing an emotional connection between the people, the architecture, and the surrounding nature.

LAAB was initially commissioned to redesign a 10 sqm food kiosk for the Avenue of Stars. However, as a food kiosk in a public promenade, LAAB believe that it has the mission to serve the public. LAAB proposed to merge the food kiosk with a large M&E machine room nearby, which gained us a 17-meter-long wall space to accommodate public functions, such as a counter table, a vending machine, drinking fountains, info panels, and planters. Harbour Kiosk also provides water and electricity for the Avenue of Stars and contains all the server panels and a stereo system for the light show at 8 pm.

05 Nature Discovery Park

Located at the heart of the urban city in Hong Kong, Nature Discovery Park is a rooftop nature conservatory in a newly redeveloped retail destination, the K11 MUSEA, offering experiential learning and farm-to-table dining experiences for city dwellers. LAAB was tasked with the challenge to turn an otherwise residual space in the shopping mall into a learning and experience center of nature.

In the middle of the Nature Discovery Park is a glasshouse and an urban farm. Steel structure and aluminum cladding were used to frame the glasshouse, which features large sliding glass doors that open its interior to the outdoor farm. To save energy, IGU glass facade was used to reduce heat gain. The sliding doors are always opened to draw in sunlight and to enhance natural ventilation to minimize energy consumption.

The steel structure, aluminum cladding, and glasses were all prefabricated and installed on site to reduce construction waste. The roof was slightly pitched forward so that the architecture catches the prevailing wind from the harbor while visually embracing the farm. The reflection of the farm on the glasshouse against the surrounding skyscrapers produces a visual reminder of the co-existence of nature and urbanism. The door handles, pendant lamps, and dining tables were crafted using sustainable wood.

06 Bohemian Garden

Bohemian Garden is one of the two rooftop gardens in K11 MUSEA. LAAB designed the architecture in collaboration with James Corner Field Operation for the landscape, Speirs Major for the lightings, and Monstrum for the playgrounds.

Connecting Level 5 to the rooftop Bohemian Garden, the Arches combine the escalator with natural elements to offer a unique transition between indoor and outdoor. Composed of branch-like columns that weave together to form a covered archway, the structure will, as time passes, be taken by ivy, creating a stunning living structure.

A forest-like canopy covering the Elephant Ground, an outdoor cafe, the Hexagons are a meticulously crafted network of asymmetrical geometric shapes that nest together to form a unique honeycomb structure. With its off-center columns and natural overhead landscape, the Hexagons create spaces of various sizes to cater to small gatherings and nurture communal activities. On sunny days, the hexagons provide shades for visitors. When it rains, the water funnels down and get drained away.

07 Salisbury Streetscape

Salisbury Treescape is a series of tree-like canopy located at the hustle and bustle of Salisbury Road in Tsim Sha Tsui. Stretches from the J2 exit of Tsim Sha Tsui East MTR station to the bus stop at Victoria Dockside, the canopy extends the spider trees along Salisbury Road to form an enchanting streetscape.

Built with varying heights to frame a dynamic vista from the escalator, the forest-like structure outside the J2 exit comprises clusters of hexagonal nesting sealed with fritted temper glass covers and timber-fin-like screens. The steel branches were carefully computed to support the canopy and to withstand the typhoon season in Hong Kong. The hexagonal canopy echoes with the spider trees along Salisbury Road while shielding users from heavy rain, blinding sunlight, and scorching summer heat. The stepping roof also drains excessive rainwater in the summer.

As people ride up the escalator, they are greeted by the tender light and shadow that shine through the shaded canopy. At night, the benevolent streetlights create a romantic golden-yellow passage. Carefully merging public architecture with nature, Salisbury Treescape provides an alternative imagination to the future of public infrastructure.

08 Garden Restroom

Garden Restroom is a public toilet situated in Salisbury Garden, a major public park in Tsim Sha Tsui. LAAB was commissioned to redesign the public toilet, along with a few other pavilion-scale architecture near this area as part of a larger revitalization scheme of the Victoria Dockside.

Our toilet design challenges the boundary between public and private space by bringing in natural surroundings into the washroom while maintaining a sense of privacy. The translucent facade rolls up to the roof, bringing natural sunlight to the interior; at night, the architecture lights up like a lantern in the dark.

LAAB maintain a coherent experience of Salisbury Garden by borrowing the architectural and material language of the adjacent buildings. The diagonal pitched roof creates a dynamic spatial experience and provides a visual surprise for those standing from afar.

09 Strand50

LAAB designed the new facade of Strand 50 with a canopy that animates the Bonham Strand. Accentuated by the setback atrium with a new stair connecting the street to the podium garden, the facade enhances the pedestrian experience along the hustling streetscape, with widened and inviting steps that lead to the office lobby.

10 Wetland Pavilion

Located at the intersection of four urban rivers (Pailao River, Xinqiao River, Wangfeng River and Tantou River), the Oyster Wetland Park plays an important role in local flood control and pollution interception while offering a public park experience for visitors. Collaborating with eLandscript, LAAB designed the Oyster Pavilion overlooking the intersection of the rivers.
Inspired by the packing of oysters, the diagrid trellis roof creates multiple skylights for sunlight to go through. The zigzag glass façade folds the surroundings in unpredictable ways, creating interesting visuals for visitors from afar while bridging the spatial boundary between interior and exterior. The Oyster Pavilion houses a café on one side and a public washroom on the other, providing multiple public services while framing the park entrance.
