BACK TO MOKKOCOMMERCIAL & CUSTOM WORK / RICHMOND, BC
Recent work from the shop: the build, the constraints and the practical decisions behind each piece.
16 ENTRIES平台床要有重量感，但搬運唔可以太笨重。結構拆成幾個清楚部分，裝好後仍然保持完整比例。
A platform bed should feel grounded without becoming impossible to move. We split the structure into clear parts while preserving one continuous proportion.

2 PROJECT IMAGES戶外家具最先要處理排水、通風同日曬。外觀完成之前，先將每個會積水同受力嘅位置逐一解決。
Outdoor work begins with drainage, ventilation and sun exposure. Before finishing the exterior, we resolved every place that could hold water or carry load.

3 PROJECT IMAGESDaybed 介乎座位同睡床之間，座高、床墊同靠背要一齊計。今次先由使用姿勢反推整體尺寸。
A daybed sits between seating and sleeping, so seat height, mattress and back support must be considered together. We worked backward from the way it would be used.

4 PROJECT IMAGES窗邊櫈要跟現場，而唔係逼現場跟家具。牆線、窗框同地面逐項對位，完成後先會似原本就屬於個空間。
A window bench has to follow the room, not force the room to follow it. We aligned the wall, frame and floor so the piece feels built into the space.

3 PROJECT IMAGES鞋櫃容量來自內部分格，而唔係外形做大。現場量度踢腳線同牆角後，再決定每格深度同開門空間。
Useful shoe storage comes from the internal layout, not a larger exterior. We measured the baseboard and wall corner before setting each depth and door clearance.

4 PROJECT IMAGES大面積實木會隨季節郁動。面板方向同預留空間要先計好，完成後先可以保持平整同順暢開合。
Wide solid-wood panels move with the seasons. Grain direction and allowance were planned first so the finished panel can stay flat and operate cleanly.

2 PROJECT IMAGES床架每日受力，接合位比外形更重要。今次將承重集中喺床柱同側板，表面只保留最必要嘅線條。
A bed carries load every day, so joinery matters more than decoration. We focused the structure through the posts and side rails and kept the profile quiet.

5 PROJECT IMAGES大型場景件由運輸開始設計。每件要入到車、搬得到、現場又可以迅速拼合，尺寸同次序都要預先清楚。
Large scenic pieces are designed around transport first. Every part had to fit the truck, stay movable and assemble in a clear order on site.

5 PROJECT IMAGES轉角長櫈睇似簡單，真正難係牆身同地面未必直。工房先做準結構，到現場再處理最後貼牆尺寸。
A corner bench looks simple until it meets an uneven wall or floor. We built the structure accurately, then resolved the final fit on site.

3 PROJECT IMAGES舞台件要快裝、快拆，同時頂得住反覆使用。結構先按運輸尺寸拆件，接合位全部留給現場快速定位。
Stage pieces need fast assembly, fast removal and repeated use. We divided the structure around transport limits and made every joint easy to locate on site.

PROJECT IMAGE呢張枱要輕巧但唔可以搖。腳架比例改咗幾次，最後保留足夠腳位，同時方便大人搬動。
This table needed to feel light without becoming unstable. We revised the leg proportion several times to keep clear space and easy handling.

2 PROJECT IMAGES抽屜櫃最考驗重複精度。每條罅隙要一致，木紋亦要連得自然，所以面板先排紋，再逐件裝配。
Drawer cabinets reveal every small error. We matched the grain first, then assembled each front so the gaps stayed even across the piece.

2 PROJECT IMAGES展牆要容納燈、線路同產品，但正面仍然要乾淨。製作時先把維修路徑留好，安裝後先封最後一層。
The display wall had to hide lighting, wiring and service access. We planned the maintenance route first and closed the final layer after installation.

6 PROJECT IMAGES小朋友用嘅家具，圓角同高度比造型更重要。完成後再逐邊手磨，確保坐低、站起同收納都順手。
For children, edge softness and height matter more than decoration. Every edge was hand-finished so sitting, standing and storage feel natural.

5 PROJECT IMAGES貨架要夠穩，亦要方便每日補貨。結構保持簡單，將承重位集中落直身板，現場用起上來更直接。
The shelving needed to stay stable through daily restocking. We kept the structure simple and carried the load through the vertical panels.

PROJECT IMAGE零售展示最難係同時處理陳列量、燈光同走動空間。今次逐格校正層板高度，現場安裝後再微調收口。
Retail work has to balance display volume, lighting and circulation. We tuned every shelf height, then adjusted the final edges on site.
