Planning, Design & Facilitation
All buildings and newly-purposed spaces begin with an idea, the beginning of an aspiration, and hch supports and guides its clients in shaping their visions through understanding and analyzing the geographical, climactic, cultural, political, social, and economic aspects of a project to arrive at a direction for it that is most compelling and ideally suited.
Whether designing the interior of a single flat one-on-one with the client or guiding and directing an entire array of design teams from several different firms through the development of a large, complex project, hch seeks to express its commitment to empowering design and brings the same dedication and love for our work to all of our projects.
For projects that require master planning, hch integrates the buildings into their environments in ways that harmonize with and celebrate the natural landscape while ensuring that all necessary functions and circulation flow effectively and efficiently.
One of the greatest obstacles that many projects must overcome is the challenge of aligning critical decisions with the original intentions for it. Oftentimes, these barriers are rooted in internal conflicts that project stakeholders have yet to acknowledge and resolve with each other or within themselves. As an insightful guide and facilitator, hch's founder, Leiven Hwang, is able to help clients bring these unseen obstacles to light and support them in resolving those challenges so that their projects can fulfill the hopes and visions they were inspired by.
Sustainability & Regenerative Design
Through understanding sustainability, building techniques and technologies, materials, aesthetics, and proportions, hch seeks to create buildings and spaces that are highly attuned to the natural environment around them and the people who experience them so that both environment and people are enhanced, enlivened, and regenerated through the projects that we help manifest. hch's founder, Leiven Hwang, is a certified Permaculture Designer.
While he was also certified as a LEED Green Associate, after learning more details about how LEED assesses projects, that some aspects of its rating system reward measures of questionable impact, and that most others are limited to considerations of sustainability rather than being truly regenerative, he has discontinued that certification and any association with LEED. Given the current state of the planet, in order to ensure humanity’s capacity to thrive upon it, Leiven believes it is imperative to reach far beyond mere sustainability in all that we do.
