SUMMARY:Tour the UNESCO-Award-Winning Blue House
DESCRIPTION:Join Cambridge alumnus\, architect and artist Nick Tsao for an immersive guided tour of Wan Chai’s historic Blue House Cluster. The Blue House is a Grade I historic building built in 1992\, awarded the UNESCO Award of Excellence\, which is the highest honour given to conservation projects in Asia Pacific. It stands as a living testament to Hong Kong’s success in integrating tangible and intangible heritage.

The experience offers rare access to the building’s architectural features and community preservation stories. \nNick is an architect with over a decade of experience under international design firms such as Foster + Partners and Herzog & de Meuron.

Nick will welcome you into his home studio to feel what it is like to live in a century-old brick and timber building. What modern conveniences does he have to give up?
