Living Inside the Skyline
In a city defined by high-rise living and limited space, “home” becomes more than just a physical shelter — it is a space where personal life and social structure converge. Within the stacked towers of Hong Kong, every floor, corridor, and window tells a story of adaptation, resilience, and belonging.
Here, vertical living reshapes how people experience intimacy and privacy, how they express identity, and how they build a sense of home in compressed urban environments.
This project explores these intimate geographies — how individuals and families transform confined apartments into meaningful spaces that hold emotion, memory, and identity. Through a combination of 3D scanning and narrative documentation, we aim to trace the invisible emotional landscapes embedded within Hong Kong’s vertical skyline.
From Skyline to Heartspace
By shifting our focus from the macro skyline of the city to the micro realities of personal dwellings, we invites audiences to see, feel, and reflect. It asks a simple but profound question:
How do we construct the meaning of “home” when space itself becomes a luxury?
The project ultimately seeks to bridge the distance between seeing and feeling, turning architecture into empathy, and transforming the act of viewing into an encounter with lived experience.
