CRAFT PLACES STORIES

NEW OFFICE WORKS is an architectural design and research office founded in 2014 and based in Hong Kong. Their approach to design seeks to build upon the vocabulary accumulated “then” while satisfying the needs and desires of “now.” The office was awarded 1st prize in the inaugural Hong Kong Young Architects & Designers Competition for a pavilion in the West Kowloon Cultural District, and 2nd prize in the Busan Opera House Competition. The office works across all scales, from architecture and art installations to writing and exhibitions.
