Hi, I'm Angela!

Having completed my undergraduate studies in MSA, I spent my last two years working back home in Hong Kong. My previous works in practice revolve largely around public architecture, ranging from large-scale transit oriented developments to footbridges and water outposts.

I particularly enjoy projects cultivating everyday spaces and engaging with the community and its stories. Stories of all kinds fascinate me and nourish my approach to preserving touch and connection in my works.

Looking forward to working with the team and the Canal and River Trust to explore the dynamic cultural landscape of the Docks and the pontoon's many potential within it!

Introducing our Collaborators!

Excited to collaborate with The Canal & River Trust on this upcoming design initiative at the Salthouse Dock! As the charity responsible for caring for 2,000 miles of waterways in England and Wales, the Trust plays a vital role in maintaining Liverpool’s docks through daily operations, historic conservation, and major engineering projects. Their work supports boating communities, enhances water quality, and fosters engagement through learning opportunities.

The Trust’s floating stage at the Salthouse Dock has previously hosted a variety of hybrid activities, bringing the local community, students, and visitors closer to the water. From jellyfish spotting to canoeing, paddleboarding, and family days, these initiatives have encouraged a focus on aquatic health and understanding of ecosystems.

By redesigning this space together, the project continues the tradition of connecting people to the water, ensuring the dock remains a thriving asset for the community.

Introducing our Collaborators!

Thrilled to have Donald Insall Associates on board as consultants for this exciting project at the Salthouse Dock! With over 65 years of pioneering architectural conservation and heritage consultancy, their expertise ensures that historic places not only endure but thrive amid an ever-evolving world. Specializing in conservation architecture, heritage consultancy, and townscape advice, they bring invaluable insight to projects that balance preservation with innovation.

Their recent work on Liverpool’s waterfront includes the upcoming International Slavery Museum and a regeneration scheme at the Canning quaysides and dry docks that features a contemplative space and overall improvements to the public area. As advisors on this project, their guidance will help shape a floating space that respects the dock’s rich heritage while creating new opportunities for community engagement.
