BARRIE HO Architecture Interiors Ltd was founded by Barrie Ho himself in January 1999, and together with his talented, experienced team, the company has grown immensely, and has earned 2 Luxury Lifestyle Awards in 2022, for Best Luxury Architect Studio in Hong Kong, and Best Luxury Mixed Use Architecture for The Acceleration Block in QianHai, China.

Barrie Ho has come to be described as one of the most influential architectural designers of his generation practicing today in Asia. He has won countless prestigious awards during his career, and his firm has completed projects internationally, including in Dubai, USA, UK, Shanghai, Beijing, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, the Asia Pacific and Hong Kong.

The agency’s portfolio showcases their wide range of noteworthy, international design projects ranging from commercial, retail, residential, landmarks, outdoor spaces/landscape, hospitality, institutions and community facilities, hotels, exhibitions, club houses, and theme parks.

Together with Barrie’s director of Architecture, Ms. Angie Pi, and their team of associates, the staff at BARRIE HO Architecture Interiors Ltd spend time with each client and establish their exact needs and requirements regarding their architecture and design projects.

The project that earned the firm one of their LLAs is The Acceleration Block, Extension (Phase 2) of QianHai Creative Entrepreneur Hub. The project was completed in August 2021.

The Acceleration Block occupies the iconic corner site and redefines the new entrance and axiality with a new circulation pattern. It is an iconic machine representing phase 2 as well as a major environmental symbol for energy saving.

The Acceleration Block is therefore conceived as a comet, solidly and solemnly set on the corner as a metaphor of the new representation of the Creative Entrepreneur Hub and a metaphoric example of Green Architecture, as is the entire QianHai Development.

The outer skin is made up of free form triangular perforated metal panels as a shading device to cool down the building and does not create any visual obstruction to the interiors. Almost 20% of energy is saved due to this design choice. The inner skin of the curtain wall aims to provide “Hand-Level” manipulated openable windows, which is an attempt to achieve cross ventilation for all seasons, to reduce the energy consumption prevalent in conventional air conditioning.

“We are so blessed to have been chosen as the Luxury Lifestyle Awards winners in 2 separate categories. Thank you to my wonderful team for their continued commitment to the work, and to our pleasant clients for trusting us with your projects,” says Barrie Ho.
