(RESERVED) Architecture in SSP from the eyes of Artisans: Mei Ho House

Size: 50x72cm

Medium: Cotton

Edition: 1

The Mei Ho House, a distinguished Grade II historic building, holds its roots in the Shek Kip Mei Estate. The building features communal spaces that foster a sense of community and was Hong Kong's inaugural resettlement public housing project. This piece of knit art pays homage to the distinctive characteristics of traditional Hong Kong public housing, specifically the singular doors and windows adorning each unit. The whole work rekindles a profound sense of connection among neighbors in an artistic manner.

屬於二級歷史建築的美荷樓，原為石硤尾邨，是第一個徙置式公共房屋，中央區域設有公共空間。設計師以精湛的技巧繪製出傳統公屋每戶的單邊門窗設計，喚起了人與人之間的人情味，並以針織藝術重新詮釋出來。
