FIRST ASSEMBLY OF GOD CHURCH
PROJECT: church
SCOPE: interior design + renovation
DESIGN CONCEPT:
The First Assembly of God Church was originally built in the 1950s as a colonial style church building in Hong Kong. The project is to renovate the main hall from its original white-washed concrete wall and ceiling finish into a warmer, friendlier and more contemporary space with improved lighting and acoustics for its congregation. All of the originals wood bench seatings are to remain. Our design is to suspended linear wood slats over its gable-roofed ceiling structure to form moving wave forms like the wings of a bird. These wings symbolize the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the believers which is foundational to the theology of the Assemblies of God denomination. Similar wave forms are echoed on the 2 sides of the hall. Sound insulation is laid behind these slats to improve the acoustics of the hall.

Munsang College School Hall
SCOPE: interior design + project management
DESIGN CONCEPT:
The project is to renovate the aged main hall of the 1960s of Munsang College in Hong Kong into a state-of-the-arts school hall when different events can be hosted. New audio-visual system is put in and acoustic issues are being addressed with sound absorbing materials put into walls and columns.
The design concept of the School Hall is naturally taken from the core value of this Christian school stated in the school motto about “light” and “life.” As the focus of the Hall is at the Stage area, the concept of “Light” is expressed around the proscenium which is framed with a concealed LED light trough all around that changes color for different occasions.
“Life” is expressed in the form of a tree with branches growing out from the proscenium to the adjacent walls and to the ceiling above. This concept ties in with the Gospel of John Chapter 15, where the “Life of Jesus” underlies the vine and branches symbolizing youthfulness, growth and vibrancy. This pattern is again echoed at the main entrance of the Hall. In John 1:4, it says that “In him was life, and that life was the light of men.” Jesus Christ as the Word of God, being that life and light, is the driving force behind the students to serve and to contribute their talents back in the community of Hong Kong.
