A Bayside architect was
just honored with his eighth
award from the Queens
Chamber of Commerce last
Thursday.
Tim Hao was awarded
the Excellent Design Award
for rehabilitation, re-adaptive
use, alteration or addition
to a Bayside home at
the 2018 Annual Building
Awards Gala.
According to Hao, he
was one of 14 architects
awarded out of 90 entries
for this year’s competition,
which took place at Terrace
on the Park.
Construction on the
winning property was completed
in December 2017
and took a full year — four
months for the design process
and eight months for
construction. Hao teamed
up with builder and property
owner Alex Zhao for
the project.
“I feel great for the
recognition of first place
award winner, I tried my
best in architectural design
to improve the appearance
of buildings I designed and
to work toward bettering
and beautifying Queens,”
Hao said. “Architecture is
the landmark or symbol of
a city and represents the
specific cultural ethos. Appearance
is vital, I tried to
provide designs that create
uplifting spaces for people’s
daily lives.”
Last year, Hao won first
place for his work designing
a mini-mansion in
Little Neck. He has been
recognized by the chamber
of commerce for his designs
since 2011.
The 34-year veteran architect
became interested
in design as a child growing
up in China and studied it
extensively while in school.
He received a degree in civil
engineering at Qingdao University
of Technology, studied
architecture at Xi’an
University of Architecture
and Technology Interior design
and also studied urban
planning at Southeast University
in China.
His goal when designing
a new project is to make use
of the existing structure in
order to create environmentally
friendly designs and
lower construction costs.
Hao shared that he gains
inspiration for each project
by visiting each site and
taking in the surrounding
area.
“I got ideas and inspiration
for design a contemporary
house when I take a
site visit for surroundings,”
Hao said. “I saw many contemporary
buildings, from
a temple and campus of
Queens Community College
nearby. This house should
be a nice addition for the
beautiful campus.”
Currently, the architect
is working on “many
projects” which include
residential houses, interior
design projects and mixeduse
buildings around New
York City. Hao with Borough President Melinda Katz. Courtesy of Tim Hao
