Hong Kong museum contract
October 2016

Steel and aluminium glazing supplier WRIGHTSTYLE has won a contract for the HK$ 960 million refurbishment of Hong Kong’s Museum of Art, involving the supply of advanced internal screens and unlatched doors for the museum’s.

Billy Kung, Wrightstyle’s sales agent for Hong Kong and China, said “The supply of advanced glazing systems, whether to mitigate against fire, natural threats such as typhoons and hurricanes, or human threats such as terrorism, is now a highly specialised area of design and fabrication.”

“In the recent past, we have supplied to retail, corporate, sporting, healthcare and transport projects from Hong Kong to Afghanistan, and from South Africa to the USA, underlining the market’s international dimension. In Hong Kong specifically, we have supplied to a number of major public and private sector projects, reflecting both the specialism of the advanced glazing market and Wrightstyle’s international reputation,” he said.

The overall Hong Kong refurbishment is being designed and managed by Hong Kong’s architectural services department (ASD), the main contractor is Chee Cheung Hing, and the glazed components, including Wrightstyle’s systems, supplied through C3S Far East Ltd The museum is scheduled to reopen to the public in mid-2019.

Wrightstyle is currently also working on the refurbishment to the Royal Academy of Arts in London, the UK’s oldest arts institution.
