An alumnus of the University of Cambridge and the University of Hong Kong, MK is a true philosopher and thinker. Since joining RLP in 2008, he has worked feverishly to change the world with own hands – architecture is his way of making his ideas real and contributing to building a better world. His most satisfying project so far is the CIC Zero Carbon Park – a truly sustainable design and something that had never been done in Hong Kong. Over the years, ZCB has shown great adaptability and has kept evolving through the years – providing a beacon to the community and showing that a net-zero future is possible.

Expertise: Taking a design from the intangible to the tangible and realising tiny details.

A graduate of the University of Hong Kong, Eugene became part of RLP in 2001. He takes a philosophical approach to design, believing that there are no fixed answers in the architectural world, rather, everything is a combination of creativity, experience and memory. This is why he enjoyed working on Larvotto so much – working with essentially a blank canvas and designing a unique interior plan complemented by a floor-to-ceiling curtain wall.

Eugene describes himself as a foodie with a strong mahjong-loving streak.

An alumnus of the University of Hong Kong, Guymo joined RLP in 1995. Before that, he studied art history in high school, falling in love with the Baroque style at first sight. Since then, this has been his core driver: finding successful designs which touch people and connect with their souls. This happened with Integral in Guilin – a project in which all the stars aligned: it was a successful, idealistic design with the right client and right team in the right place at the right time.

Guymo has also kept his artistic streak – to gain inspiration or solve a problem, he enjoys wandering the streets of Hong Kong, listening to music and absorbing the city’s energy.

An alumnus of the Bartlett School of Architecture at University College London, Kenneth came to RLP in 2010. His most favourite projects are those that provide a lively, happy environment for users. Both Victoria Dockside and Salisbury Garden met these criteria – these are complex mixed-use development and regeneration projects which stretched his skills and allowed him to work with a large group of international consultants who have since become his friends.

An avid Marvel and sci-fi film fan, Kenneth occasionally takes a morning swim before work when time permits.

His desire to create better living spaces for one and all drove him to become an architect and he still loves designing homes for people. His favourite project is Larvotto, a residential project on the Ap Lei Chau waterfront. Why? Because this was the first project he worked closely with his wife from design to completion. They also got married while working on this project.

Alfred and his wife also love travelling. Their safari tour to Kenya and Tanzania was an unforgettable experience for both of them.

He has both an artistic and a poetic sense for architectural design, meaning that projects under his direction not only achieve design excellence, they have also won numerous awards. His most memorable RLP project so far is the Ko Shan Theatre New Wing – the first purpose-built theatre for Cantonese Opera and the first public theatre designed by a private practice in Hong Kong. Its design ethos, being “a theatre in the park” and “a park in the theatre” has set new design standards for future theatres in Hong Kong.

Peter has green fingers, which he modestly says are “probably genetically inherited from his father and grandfather.”

A graduate of the University of Tasmania, he joined RLP in 2010, taking his design instincts into the professional world to provide stylistic solutions to urban challenges. His work on the Tianjin Chow Tai Fook Finance Centre was nothing short of masterful – in addition to creating an iconic building, he built close ties with the project team, consultants and the client’s team as they worked together to reshape and rehabilitate an entire city district, turning it into a place where people not only want to work and live, but gather and enjoy themselves.

Arthur’s recipe for proper work-life balance includes a large amount of travelling and plenty of artisanal coffee.

This is why his most-loved project is Courtyard Residence, a unique green residential tower in heart of densely-developed Mongkok in Kowloon. Beautiful and practical, to Matt, this project perfectly illustrates how sustainability and development can work together in harmony.

His affection for practicality spills over into his personal life: his favourite pastime is playing snooker – determining the correct angles necessary to win every game.

Expertise: Public buildings and railway-related projects.

Growing up in Lower Ngau Tau Kok estate gave Kin Hang an understanding that buildings and communities often have the same meaning and evoke the same emotions in the people living within them. Kin Hang believes that architects hold a great responsbility: to shape people’s experiences and help them create memories. This was his motivation for becoming an architect, spurred him to take up architecture in The University of New South Wales in Australia and drive him through the many late nights the profession requires since joining RLP in 2008. Kin Hang’s favourite project, the Tiu Keng Leng Public Library and Sports Centre, embodies this spirit and will help improve the lives of thousands of people for generations.

To relax, escape and gain new inspiration, Kin Hang likes to immerse himself in the martial arts universe created by Jin Yong - reading the books and the many analyses that go with them.

Her favourite project epitomises this motivation – the Hong Kong Baptist Hospital Block E.
