The design process is a rigorous search for surprising results through hands-on crafting and making of models and prototypes, and careful studies of textures and finishes. NOW is winner of Architectural Record's Design Vanguard 2024, which recognizes leading young firms around the world, and was named by Archdaily one of the Best Young Practices of 2020. The office has also won numerous competitions such as 1st prize in the inaugural Hong Kong Young Architects & Designers Competition.
