“About LAAB Architects”
LAAB is a laboratory for Art and Architecture dedicated to spatial innovations, offering forward-thinking design solutions to public space, contemporary architecture, interior designs, and digital art experiences. Led by cofounders Otto Ng and Yip Chun Hang, their collective of architects, designers, engineers, makers, and sociologists work together with forward-thinking clients and collaborators to bring visionary designs to life.
A precise blend of cutting-edge digital fabrication and traditional craftsmanship drives their creative process. Widely recognized projects include the “K11 MUSEA and Victoria Dockside,” “Leica Flagship Store in Hong Kong and the Asia-pacific”, “f22 foto space”, “T· CAFÉ”, and the “Hong Kong House” at the Japan Echigo Tsumari Art Triennale.
Based in Hong Kong, LAAB has been awarded for design innovation and craftsmanship, including the American Architizer A+ Awards, the Japanese Good Design Award Best 100, the Japanese KUKAN Award Best 100, the Taiwan Golden Pin Award, the German iF Design Award, and the Amsterdam FRAME Awards, among recognitions from other design communities. In 2019, LAAB was named by the official journal of American Institute of Architects as “The Next Progressive”.
