A Registered Professional Engineer
leads our design team

Galaxy Interior Design is an interior design and fitting-out works company led by a Registered Professional Engineer. We believe a genuinely good design has to be attractive and practical, and sound in the quality of its fitting-out works, so that it stands up to everyday use.

Interior Design

We start with the overall layout, take the time to understand how the client actually lives, and build a space that holds together aesthetically, functionally and comfortably.

Works supervision

Project Supervision

A consultant team led by a professional engineer keeps a close watch on site works from start to finish, so the project is completed on time and properly.

Engineering consultancy

Engineer Consulting

Our founder is a Registered Professional Engineer with a deep background in structural engineering, so the design answers to safety, professional conduct and buildability alike.

Construction

From refurbishment to new build, the team brings knowledge and craft to turn the drawings into a finished space, step by step, one that is durable and well made.

Our Founder
A design firm with an engineering background

Andrew has a deep background in building structure and the site works process, and has worked on a number of large infrastructure projects, including Marina Bay Sands in Singapore and the Harbour Area Treatment Scheme in Hong Kong. He personally oversees the progress and quality management of the site works on every project, from clear contracts and quotations through to site safety and structure, giving clients real confidence backed by an engineer's expertise. He has always believed that the client is the one who lives in the space, that design should balance appearance and practicality, and that professional standards should never be compromised.

"I am an engineer by training; I build buildings and bridges, and that gives clients confidence. When I first came into the renovation trade more than ten years ago, I found that plenty of companies understood design but not the engineering behind it —— I wanted us to be equally professional at both."
