Green building efforts featured in Southeast Asia Building
Southeast Asia Building published its annual green issue covering green building projects around the world and trends in smart building. Health and efficiency are also considered in this issue.
Our project THE PAVILIA BAY in Hong Kong, China was featured for its architecture and landscape design. Conceived as a yacht embarking its journey towards the waters, the project features softened architecture with curvy elevations to integrate with the surroundings.

With the help of BIM, which smoothens multi-disciplinary coordination, DfMA will achieve greater impact.
