(a) New façade cladding system

• Create a 3D profile to reduce the bulk of the building, add Light & shades and take reference to the existing tiles) • Durable material • Light weight material – Existing structural constraint • Sustainable design (Modular system) • Add values to the façade - Insulated layer and Art intervention

Renovation of Hong Kong Museum of Art Presentation February 2014 (b) Transparent Building Design (For newly added areas)

• New Glass façade for Main Entrance Foyer • New Glazed wall at G/F Annex Gallery • New Curtain wall façade for the public lobby zone from 2/F to 4/F • New Glass façade for roof top Gallery
