AYK3R is a young, faith-rooted architecture and interior design studio founded by two Registered Architects from Hong Kong. With over 15 years of experience across design studios, architecture firms, property developers and university teaching, we bring together creative passion and professional expertise. We established AYK3R with bases in both London and the Midlands, carrying with us a cross-cultural design sensitivity and a shared desire to design something purposeful.
We believe architecture is more than just making buildings—it’s about telling stories through space. At the heart of our studio is a desire to serve, guided by faith, shaped by integrity, and driven by a deep love for narrative design. Every project holds a story waiting to be told. As architects, our role is to listen, translate, and co-create that narrative with you, crafting environments that are not only functional and beautiful, but deeply human and rooted in meaning. From concept to construction, we approach each project with thoughtfulness and clarity. Whether it’s a home, a workspace, or a place of gathering, we design with care, intention, and a long view, always mindful of the people and lives each space will hold.
AYK3R is built on the belief that design can serve, restore, and connect. More than just a practice, we see our studio as a growing community of all clients, collaborators, and friends, united by a shared pursuit of thoughtful, impactful design. We invite you to be part of a community shaped by creativity, care, and purpose.
Eddie is an international member of the HKIA and was a Registered Architect in Hong Kong from 2014 to 2024.

With experience across varying scales and typologies, Eddie approaches each project with a strong commitment to design quality, technical rigour, and social impact. The portfolio includes high-rise residential developments, bespoke private homes, institutional spaces, and public installations, each shaped by a deep sensitivity to context, community, and culture. He believes architecture should serve people with clarity, integrity, and purpose. Grounded in a belief that good design is both beautiful and responsible, he strives to create work that is thoughtful, responsive, and deeply human.
Alongside practice, Eddie has served as a design studio tutor at several universities in both Hong Kong and UK, where his teaching philosophy is rooted in reflection, active listening, and student-led exploration. He sees education as a space for mutual learning and transformation. He draws inspiration from his students’ energy and curiosity, and is deeply committed to fostering a culture of honesty, humility, and growth, both in the studio and the classroom. Believing in the potential within every student, he seeks to guide and empower them to uncover their strengths and grow with confidence.
In addition to his professional and academic pursuits, Eddie is actively involved in community initiatives and design workshops. Outside of work, he is also an amateur triathlete and marathon runner, finding inspiration in endurance and resilience.
