What's he done? What hasn't he done? He's been involved in much of Central's upmarket office and retail space, including Prince's Building, Chater House, Alexandra House and the Landmark. He also worked on Hong Kong International Airport's SkyPlaza and the MTR Corporation's Sunny Bay station. Most recently, he was involved in the revamp of the Ruttonjee Centre (left).
Where did he study? St John's College, University of Cambridge, England, where he read architecture. He also completed a master of architecture degree and a diploma in architecture (first class).

Where does he get his inspiration? From daily life. The more he travels, the more he sees. 'Inspiration never comes from any one place. Your kit of parts comes from visions of past solutions. That can instil you with a lot of confidence and that's important. The older you get, the more experiences you have.'
What's his signature? 'My designs are simple, straightforward. I'll start with a simple approach and a restricted palette. My materials are limestone, stainless steel, aluminium and glass. I pay a huge amount of attention to detail - exquisite detail.'
