Architect Chung, Ping Hung founded archicake in 2008, launching an online architecture magazine and devoting his efforts to curatorial work. His curatorial themes focus on history, music, art, design, and architecture.

In 2021, the designer founded theout studio, bringing together a background in art, graphic design, and architecture, with a strong focus on spatial and exhibition design. The studio takes research and experimentation as its core approach, emphasizing opportunities that emerge between rationality and sensibility. By responding to the environmental and cultural context, theout studio transforms these insights into a unique design vocabulary, ensuring that each project leaves a clear and fitting mark.

We see design as a form of learning and a way to find answers to the world beyond established frameworks and boundaries. With a background in architecture, we are committed to creative works across genres including architecture, spatial design, exhibitions, and art installations. Our work focuses on the everyday matters within living spaces. By continually responding to the environment, our studio presents its distinct identity. We focus on design methodology research while also embracing an innovative and experimental spirit. For each project, we identify opportunities between sensitive and rational considerations while satisfying their respective demands, striving to make every outcome a one-of-a-kind object.
