"We borrow from nature the space upon which we build." - Tadao Ando. Inspired by Tadao Ando - the renowned architect, Andy believes nature and environment are the key irreplaceable elements in interior design.
Growing up in a village, Andy used to draw raw material locally from nature for making his toys when he was small. NATURE means a lot to him, not only is it a natural gift for mankind, but also our HOME.
Graduated in 2000, Andy started working in different design firms and strived to infuse nature elements into his projects. However, it's always not easy to change the status quo, especially when overly luxurious and hotel-ish styles are dominant in Chinese society.
After 2 years, intended to enrich his knowledge in interior design, Andy seeked for further education in UK; a country that possesses strong stance on environmental protection. He believes, design is a powerful key to arouse people's awareness on the importance of nature, HOME SWEET HOME could never stand alone without it.
Pure AW's - not only the abbreviation of Andy Wan, it represents AIR, WATER and SUNLIGHT; the most basic, pure but indispensable elements. Andy explicitly positions and manifests his green design philosophy, giving customers a tailor-made HOME, and simultaneously, promotes green living, sustainability as well as environmental conservation.
Graduated from Kingston University in UK with an Honors Degree in Interior Design, Andy founded Pure AW's Designers Ltd in December 2007.
Over the years, Andy's green design philosophy has gradually been supported by the market, he accomplished a wide range of design projects throughout Hong Kong and various domestic cities; including high-end residences, villas, showrooms, offices and retail shops. With his expertise and unique design style, Pure AW's Designers has gained industry recognition and consecutively won various local design awards and international awards including A’Design and K-Design awards.
Apart from work, Andy was an Interior Design lecturer for Hong Kong Design Institute (HKDI). Presently, Andy is a Professional Member of the Hong Kong Interior Design Association (HKIDA) and Associate Member of the Hong Kong Designers Association (HKDA).
