Description

This photo-rich architectural design book is a fascinating profile of one of Asia's most successful and influential firms. HB Design is an award-winning architectural practice with offices in Singapore, Bangkok, and Jakarta and projects throughout Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. This book is a comprehensive collection of their work, completed and in progress, with a section dedicated to a selection of intriguing unbuilt projects. The book tracks the company's journey, beginning as a small practice in Hong Kong, through its early days in Singapore and its expansion in the Asian region. Projects range from bespoke interiors to private houses, through to large-scale multi-residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments. By framing the evolution of HB Design as a journey, the book is able to clearly describe the way this uniquely creative and adaptive architectural practice has shaped its ideas and approach. The idea of a journey is also important, because it gives the reader an insight into the company's process-driven philosophy. This philosophy sees every project as unique and, therefore, requiring its own unique solution. Accordingly, each project is a journey of discovery with no assumptions made. The practice's trajectory has mirrored its success, scaling up rapidly in recent years from house to high-rise, working with major developers in some of Asia's most dynamic cities across a rich diversity of size and brief. Throughout this exhilarating evolution, the practice has remained committed to creating exceptional pieces of architecture. Increasingly, our cities are being determined by the
