f22 foto space - Exhibitions, camera boutique and lovely cafe in Hong Kong

f22 foto space is a one-of-a-kind cultural hub in Hong Kong dedicated to photography and design. Designed by LAAB Architects in collaboration with Carlow Architecture & Design, f22 offers exhibitions, a photo book shop, a camera boutique, and a lovely cafe. The design team worked closely with engineers to meticulously translate camera elements into spatial experiences, immersing visitors in the world of craftsmanship and photography culture.

Two architecture features, the camera door and aperture stairs, define the exhibition space. The design team studied camera development and used design elements from various generations of camera lens to design the door. Paired with smart technology, the rotational camera door controls the amount of light at the entrance space. It also creates a pocket space for reception or a photo spot when rotates at 180 degrees. The same space also functions as a temporal waiting area during seminars for latecomers to watch relay without disturbing other audience.
