“Reinventing yourself is the most challenging aspect of architecture,” says Edwin Pun, director at Keyestone Properties. And Rome’s citizens, he says, have been some of the greatest designers and builders the world has seen. “They’re experts at innovation and reinvention,” he says, “having mastered the art of architectural evolution through the centuries.”
Overseeing design and creative aspects of all projects at Keyestone, Edwin is no stranger to grand design. A familiar face on Hong Kong’s social circuit, he has also become something of a fashion icon, thanks to his understanding of the importance of creating a good first impression and standing out in a crowd.
“I remember my first trip to Rome when I was younger,” he says. “I was so impressed with the construction, design and grandeur of the buildings, even before I knew what architecture was. My younger self had an inclination even then about the industry I would later work in.”
