About Liangfeng Hu

Design is too sticky if it is only emotional, but it will become uninteresting if it is only rational. Design and life are the same, it's a matter of choice, and one can be specialized but not stubborn. To Alex HU, drawings are the creation of sketches, and this process is also the cultivation of his rational side. He believes that as a designer, he need to have the right control over the overall space and tailor the lifestyle of the different owners with respect to their various characteristics.
