Unfinished Journey Residential

Unfinished Journey

This project revitalizes a five-decade residence through structural reinforcement and adaptive reuse. Original red bricks and exposed concrete are preserved and enhanced with a custom steel system improving durability and spatial fluidity. Breathable materials address climate challenges while movable elements introduce flexibility. The design balances memory and function, transforming the house into a timeless living space that grows with its owners.

Unfinished Journey Residential by Vivian Chiu was identified as an innovative representation of architectural design by the A' Design Awards. Unfinished Journey Residential received the Iron A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2025. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is an international, meritocratic, just and fair design accolade that celebrates superior design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
