Chow:Hill Architects welcomes Vicky Feng to Auckland team
Chow:Hill Architects introduce Vicky Feng, a Registered Architect in their Tamaki Makaurau studio.
Vicky’s personal experiences in humanitarian aid and associated research have given her a deep understanding of the importance of architecture and its role in society.
A Registered Architect in their Tamakai Makaurau studio, Vicky’s design inspiration comes from existing elements around the sites she works on.
Outside of work, Vicky enjoys trying out new cheesecake recipes and making origami furniture. She also loves creating fairy tales for groups of children and watching their eyes light up as they get lost in the stories. Sometimes, the magic even works on her cats!
