Happy New Year of the Horse

We wish all our friends, colleagues and clients a happy New Year of the Horse. With our hotel in Shenyang wrapping up the design stage, we are looking forward to the tender and construction phase. New projects as well as potential opportunities just came in before the New Year break and we are looking forward to an exciting year of new designs and built work.

2012 - Enter the Dragon

2011 has ended rather busy and hectic. Consequently the blog has been fairly quiet also. As our operations are running on the East Asian Calendar, we wish a Happy New Year to all our readers, friends, colleagues and clients.

We are closing on an extremely successful year with a lot of groundbreaking developments.

Foremost we have hit 30,000 readers of this blog within the first two years of posting. Thank you so much for all the support and encouragement in our work.

Additionally we won the five star AsiaPacific Property Award this year, beating other peers of the profession. Currently we are designing the latest high rise in Hanoi, working on several master plans in Vietnam, a groundbreaking high rise in Hong Kong and multiple large scale interior projects for multinational companies in China. And on top of it we diversified into product design with a revamp of COATS product displays worldwide.

We are proud to do all this with an extremely flexible, yet small task force, defining the agenda for the office in 2012: Small is successful!

2010

With the end of the rather unusually chilly holiday season in Hong Kong, we are awakening from our hibernation period as well. Big plans for this year: As we are moving along with our architecture practice with projects in Vietnam, China, Germany and Taiwan, we are also expanding our operation into becoming a rather universal design environment. The iceblog will be our most updated companion during this journey. So then: Happy New Year of the Tiger.
