The Project according to the Hong Kong law is called a Renovation, it consists in repositioning exactly on the limits of the existing building.

We kept the existing foundations and slab to lay the metal structure of the future project.

The structure is similar in shape to the old building.

The walls that form the facades are composed of “sandwich” panels of exterior wood cladding fixed on a steel sheet insulating tray and for the face of the interior, a sheet of hemp with an external waterproof film; between the two walls, an air gap of 10cm thick with an aluminum structure. The whole forms a sandwich panel with a thickness of 275mm.

The structural template is positioned on a surface of 70m2, the plan is divided into 3 parts:

1 Part functional spaces.

1 Part circulation.

1 Part living spaces.

Addition to the upper level of a balcony: relaxation area of the master bedroom.

4 facades: 4 functional solutions.

South-east wall, technical volume consisting of the sanitary facilities, the shower room, the kitchen and the vertical circulation: the staircase.

-The South West facade is composed of openings framing the exterior landscape.

-North West & North East walls, the open parts are composed of sectional doors in composite glass; in the lower part translucent glass and in the upper part transparent glass.

This solution opens the transverse facades to connect the interior and exterior of the project.
