This, the first book to be published on Tonkin Architects, covers the group's work to date and underlines their original approach a combination of poetry and practicality to the fields of architecture and interior design. Combining creativity with functionalism, Tonkin's design solutions, to projects as diverse as the Flex Gay Bar, Fontworks Offices, the Hugo and Peak Houses in Hong Kong, and the Ubud Hotel Complex, emphasise a unique practice. "This little book betrays its size by explaining a big concept... of designing in a different way... of approaching the client's brief uniquely... of discovering the creative spark that essentially differentiates architecture from mere building by coming from a new direction."
