Abstract
Architect Simon Kwan has a lot to smile about. His firm, Simon Kwan & Associates, has recently completed two more fixtures of the North Point and Quarry Bay commercial landscape, adding to his landmark K Wah Centre which commands the North Point waterfront. The two new buildings, the Dah Chong Hong (DCH) Commercial Centre and the North Point Government Offices could not be more different in approach and challenges, and yet both reflect the passion of a man who cares deeply about every facet of building creation.
