In Shiou Hee’s own words:
Beyond providing shelter, architecture is an expression of our understanding of the world, of cosmology and our built environment. My design philosophy embraces the Sense and Sensibility of architecture. The senses connect the intricate relationships between time, light and materials to allow spatial freedom that is beautiful in its myriad expressions. The sensibilities of architecture advocates an understanding of the ways the natural beauty of materials can be brought out in construction, enhancing the imaginative appreciation of the way in which materials plays an integral part in design.
