Black Shadow H-E

Reminiscent of the vintage splendour of the 50s and 60s, the inspiration for this project comes primarily from the simply rugged design of these age-old motorbikes. However, in fitting with modern society's ecological ideals, the Black Shadow H-E utilises hybrid technology, producing a modern, environmentally friendly bike that draws on the simplistic beauty of vintage styling. Combining old styling with new and future technology, the motorcycle maximises the use of a range of materials whilst maximising the power to weight ratio.

Hotel Indigo Hong Kong Island

Some of the most fulfilling designs are those embedded and contextualised in their local culture. It was the designer’s intent from the outset to reflect, in the architectural expression, the vibrant nature of Asia, Hong Kong and Wanchai.

The hotel design also provides legibility at both the City (macro) and Human (micro) scale.
