Selected Projects

Selected projects reflect the complementary leadership experience behind ACKCON’s practice, spanning corporate collections, cultural initiatives, and major construction delivery. Collection and cultural projects show how art is coordinated across organizations and sites; the construction projects show the planning, trade coordination, and schedule discipline required in technically demanding environments.

Together, these experiences inform how ACKCON carries collection priorities through the practical conditions of workplace and capital projects.

The programme spanned multiple regions within a regulated institutional framework, with procurement and decommissioning coordinated alongside the collection’s ongoing activity.

Inventory protocols, metadata standards, documentation controls, and vendor management procedures established a consistent foundation for stewardship. These systems strengthened asset visibility and audit readiness, reduced coordination redundancies by approximately 25%, and supported institutional compliance as the programme grew.

The 48-storey development combined seven levels of underground parking with a high-rise superstructure built on a one-week floor cycle.

This accelerated programme required close alignment between subcontractors and sustained quality assurance as work moved from one floor to the next.

Shangri-La

Shangri-La

Assumed construction management responsibilities on a tower behind schedule at transition, coordinating structural, façade, and materials work to recover progress ahead of a fixed deadline.

Learn more

At transition, the 68-storey tower was eight months behind schedule. Recovery measures included faster structural cycles, revised façade sequencing, and coordination of overseas materials.

The work recovered approximately three months of schedule variance, restored budget alignment, and stabilized delivery ahead of a fixed international event deadline in a complex urban setting.
