HIR Studio

Based in Hong Kong, HIR Studio crafts mobile educational libraries and playspaces that combine fine-ribbed recycled plastic surfaces with natural timber and kinetic pop-up structures. The portfolio serves as a strong reference when detailing interactive, user-activated mechanical elements or specifying recycled plastic waste into tactile structural millwork.

Aerial view of The Ornithopter installation by HIR Studio, featuring a red timber pavilion set within a circular gravel clearing on a triangular lawn.

The Ornithopter 夢想實驗號

An aerial site precedent showing a playful, geometry-driven public art installation by HIR Studio, utilizing contrasting materials like white gravel, timber decking, and a red structure on green turf.

What we like about this project
The white gravel layout includes a long, needle-like tail pointing toward one corner of the triangular lawn like a compass or diagram.

Geometry
Strictly symmetrical layout featuring a triangular grass island containing a central circular clearing with an aligned linear pathway and a pointed pavilion pavilion structure.
Structural guess
Lightweight timber framing on a raised deck base.
Spatial scale
Park-scale installation; the central pavilion is small enough for a few people to occupy.
Lighting
Direct overhead daylight casting crisp, short shadows to the west of objects and structures.
Atmosphere
Clean, crisp, and diagrammatic under bright open skies.
Environmental context
A triangular lawn bounded by paved pedestrian walkways and dense green planting beds within a public park.
Spatial experience
The aerial view emphasizes pure geometric order, drawing the eye along the white gravel tail directly into the red framed pavilion.
Composition rhythm
Concentric and linear geometry radiating from the central red pavilion.
Style reading
Playful contemporary installation design
