The Neighbourhood
Sham Shui Po
It is one of the old districts, where the invasion of urbanisation started to modify the cityscape in the past 10 years. Each building contains its history and style, forming the city vein lines connecting the unsettling flesh and the long running textile industry in the ever changing Hong Kong cityscapes.
The Exhibition Space
Colour Brown X PHVLO HATCH occupied 3 stories of an old block located in Sham Shui Po. The ground floor occupied by the cafe, while the upper floors are office and exhibition spaces. The cafe maintains the original high ceiling of the Tong Lau structure which is commonly found in buildings in the neighbourhood. It gives a rare high up space with natural sunlight, and forms a good gallery like space for big art works display, allowing audience to appreciate each art piece without disturbance in a relaxing setting, together with the coffee aroma.
