Led by founder and principal, Frank Leung, the studio’s award winning portfolio includes residential, hospitality, commercial and cultural projects throughout Asia. Driven by the curiosities of life and a continual quest for beauty, via.’s designs are imbued with an emotional resonance tailored to each project’s locale, purpose and aspirations.

One Bedford Place is a brand-new iconic commercial development amidst the formerly industrial neighborhood that differentiates from the conventional monolithic appearance of commercial high-rise buildings in Hong Kong. The architectural design takes the form of a “splitted” twin-towers with protruding “bridges” slanted at varying angles to create a sense of movement and play. Cladded with full height curtain wall and decorative fins, this dynamic composition, together with its slender, prismatic volumes and expressive exterior language, creates a distinctive architectural identity.
