Napp Studio & Architects was founded by Aron TSANG and Wesley HO in 2016.
Aron and Wesley were classmates at The School of Architecture at The University of Hong Kong back in 2007, and went together to Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien in 2009. Later they parted ways to further their studies and experience. After gaining overseas exposure across Asia, Europe and US, they both decided to return to their roots and origin in 2016 to explore design as a minimal yet effective intervention in dialogue with the needs of its users and context. Through filtering and accentuating the essential in design, they find beauty in simple and clear intentions.
Napp Studio & Architects is a design office that works across scales and disciplines between space and object – from architecture, interior, exhibition to furniture and product. We, as Architects, approach design subjects through series and layers of rigorous operations, e.g. social, cultural, formal, practical, structural and environmental, that are translated into different intentions in all scales.
The practice has won multiple local and international awards including Gold Award in Taipei International Design Award, Golden Pin Award, Perspective’s 40 under 40, and Hong Kong Young Design Talent Award; and their works have been exhibited in various exhibitions world-widely, e.g. International Venice Architecture Biennale, SPARK The Science and Art of Creativity, Hong Kong/Shen Zhen Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture.
