The architect reflects on her childhood home in Hong Kong by writing a story about it.

“The forms I build now cradle the structures above them in the way my childhood furniture once held me,” the designer says.

Despite losing her childhood home to the Eaton Fire, the artist says, “Altadena remains my anchor.”

“We’re all products of our environment, our experiences,” the architect says.

Home is “an environment that shapes our lives—and not just the architecture and the design of it,” the director says.
