About 关于

Edward Ge Architects is an international architecture and design practice creating bespoke, exceptional architecture that is considered, durable and made to last. 葛宇曈建筑事务所是一家国际建筑与设计事务所,营造独具匠心、用心考究、经久传世的非凡建筑。

We are a team of creative, multidisciplinary architects who respond poetically to a wide range of complex briefs. From our studios in Auckland and Hong Kong, we design buildings that belong to their landscape and their culture, shaped with care and made to endure. 我们是一支富有创造力的多学科建筑师团队,以诗意的笔触回应各类复杂的设计任务。依托奥克兰与香港的两间工作室,我们设计融于风土与文化的建筑,用心塑造,历久弥新。

Studio

Our approach 我们的理念

Every project begins with an intensive and open collaboration with our clients. The early work is exploratory and hands-on, carried by sketches, studies, diagrams and physical models, so that the brief, the site and our clients' ambitions shape the design together. 每个项目都始于与客户深入而开放的协作。设计初期的工作充满探索、亲力亲为,借助草图、研究、图解与实体模型层层推进,让设计任务、场地条件与客户的愿景共同塑造方案。

The strongest ideas are then developed through cutting-edge digital design technologies and rationalised into construction drawings by our in-house construction team, so the design intent carries all the way through to site. 最有力的构想随后通过前沿的数字设计技术深化推敲,再由我们的自有施工团队转化为严谨的施工图纸,使设计意图完整地贯穿至工地现场。

Studio 工作室

The studio brings together architects, designers and makers from a range of backgrounds and cultures. That breadth lets us tailor our approach to each commission, and it keeps the work curious, rigorous and open. 工作室汇聚了来自不同背景与文化的建筑师、设计师与营造者。这种多元让我们能够为每个委托量身定制方法,也让作品始终保持好奇、严谨与开放。

Beyond the brief 超越任务书

We arrive at each project with open eyes and a willingness to question. Alongside the specific brief, we consider the wider questions every building raises: how it sits in its landscape, how it uses energy and material, and how it will serve the people who live and work in it for decades to come. We seek out collaborators who share that commitment and bring the same curiosity to their own disciplines. 我们以开放的眼光进入每个项目,乐于提出疑问。在具体任务书之外,我们同样思考每座建筑引出的更广命题:它如何安放于景观之中,如何使用能源与材料,又将如何在未来数十年里服务于在其中生活与工作的人。我们也乐于与秉持同样信念的伙伴合作,他们在各自领域怀抱同样的好奇心。

Place and public life 场所与公共生活

Our experience spans intimate houses through to urban masterplans, and every scale has taught us the same lesson: architecture shapes the identity of a place. Whatever the size of a commission, we look for the public life a building can generate, the way it meets the street, frames the landscape and gathers people together, in both Western and Asian contexts. 我们的经验从静谧的住宅延伸至城市总体规划,每一种尺度都印证着同一个道理:建筑塑造着场所的身份。无论委托规模大小,我们都会寻找建筑所能激发的公共生活:它如何面向街道、框取景观、将人们汇聚一堂,无论身处西方还是亚洲的语境。

Open dialogue 开放的对话

Rich, open dialogue carries a project from concept to completion. We work in close conversation with our clients, consultants, councils and craftspeople, and we treat every exchange as part of the design itself. Many of our client relationships continue long after handover, which we consider the truest measure of the work. 丰富而开放的对话推动项目从概念走向落成。我们与客户、顾问、审批机构及工匠保持紧密沟通,并将每一次交流视为设计本身的一部分。许多客户关系在交付之后延续多年,这在我们看来是对作品最真切的肯定。

Growing together 共同成长

The practice is built on the growth of its people. We invest in professional development at every level, keep close ties with universities and research institutions, and share knowledge openly between project teams. We expect our people to grow with the practice, and we give them the room to do it. 事务所的根基在于每个人的成长。我们在各个层级投入专业发展,与高校及研究机构保持紧密联系,并在项目团队之间开放地分享知识。我们期待每位成员与事务所共同成长,并为此提供充分的空间。
