🌆 At 14, Janice Lau swapped Hong Kong’s neon skyline for British boarding schools – but her heart stayed anchored in the harbor city. Now, she’s steering one of Asia’s most ambitious urban projects: Kai Tak Sports Park, Hong Kong’s future hub for sports and culture.
⚡️ Every morning, as her ferry cuts through Victoria Harbour, Lau watches cranes dance above the construction site. "It’s like seeing my childhood sketches become 3D," laughs the architect, whose team is transforming 28 hectares of reclaimed land into a venue ready to host international events.
💡 But for Lau, this isn’t just about steel and concrete: "Hong Kong raised me. Designing spaces where people will cheer, create memories, and connect? That’s my love letter to the city." Her story mirrors Hong Kong’s own evolution – blending global influences with local roots.
🏆 Fun fact? The project’s roof design was inspired by traditional bamboo scaffolding – a nod to the city’s architectural heritage meeting cutting-edge engineering. Game on, 2025! 🎉
