Where I Work: Keng-Fu Lo of Chain10
Architect Keng-Fu Lo, of Taiwan-based Chair 10, takes us through his self-designed office overlooking a harbor and featuring a green roof.
Keng-Fu Lo is an architect and managing director (with a medical degree!) of Chain10 Architecture + Interior Design Institute, an award-winning firm he founded in 1996 committed to nature- and wellness-focused, cutting-edge design. Located in the Lingya District of Taiwan, Chain10 delivers innovative architecture and interiors projects, including retail, workspace, residential and recreation, all sustainably minded and offering important connections between people and their environment. Lo doesn’t just design for others ? he also designed the firm’s office on the edge of the Kaohsiung Port. The design includes large windows with views of the harbor, a green garden on the garage’s roof, and an extensive book collection, which line the walls of bookcases. To learn more about the space and his design process, Keng-Fu Lo joins us for this month’s Where I Work!
