Moving on with the times
Location: Baguio Villa, Hong Kong
The home is finished with design elements that pitch the apartment’s ambiance from the past into the future. The use of sliding doors and lack of door handles throughout stamps a mark of efficiency on the apartment. The roundedness of the Jacobsen Egg chair and Eames’ DSR dining chairs echoes with the circular lighting fixtures, giving the living area an almost futuristic feel. -
Abstractions of nature
Location: Celestial Heights, Hong Kong
Rising above the concrete jungle of Hong Kong, the designer draws inspiration from the client’s home in California.
Wooden beams transport us to the tall redwood forests. The feature wall reminds us of the Sierra Nevada mountains. The log accent stirs up memories of evenings by the fireplace.
To enlarge the living space, a partition wall is taken out to create a raised family room. The space is partitioned by a glass railing, accented with birds soaring towards the wide window ledge.
The designer gives tribute to nature with Arihiro Miyake’s light feature, “In the Wind”. -
Harmony
Location: Elm Tree Towers, Hong Kong
A family naturally consists of members with different personalities; they have different needs and preferences. When it comes to interior design, balancing adjustment, interaction and space are indispensable elements to consider to allow a family to live together in perfect harmony.
The design creates a home that caters to everyone’s needs. It maintains privacy and simultaneously develops a common area into a crossing point for family union. This unique design achieves a promotion of interaction, communication and the interpersonal adjustment between each family members, and turns a space into a home full of warmth and pleasure. -
A home to relax and connect with family, friends, and nature
Location: Hatton Place, Mid-Levels, Hong Kong
The contrast between the lush Lung Fu Mountain at the apartment’s backside, and the front view of Hong Kong’s high-rises inspired the design concept: juxtaposition of nature and luxurious comfort.
To echo the beauty of Lung Fu Mountain, we used natural hues and woods without varnish throughout the space, and oriented the bathtub in the master bathroom towards the beautiful greens.
Encapsulating the union of nature with luxury, a tree silhouette intricately cut out of a wooden panel would welcome visitors at the entrance. -
The Void
Location: Metro Fortress Tower, Hong Kong
A 38sm apartment takes on an industrial style as preferred by the owners. To address the owners’ concerns in spaciousness, functionality, and the balancing of public/private zones, the de-clutter theory with concepts of "cutting off, throwing away, and letting go" were employed.
The design “cuts off” all unnecessary partitioning to create an unobstructed view and instantly increases the sense of spaciousness. By “throwing away” all impractical design details and ornaments, the flat dons a consistently simple style. To “let go” of the traditional partitioning, the designer chooses to delineate areas of different functions with materials and colors. -
Travelling right at home
Location: Park Towers, Hong Kong
The client is a keen traveler who wishes to be abroad even when at home. So the designer takes inspiration from Eiffel Tower, the symbol of Paris, his favorite destination. Abstractions from the tower form the design vocabulary, yielding two simple elements: lattice and illumination. -
Checking in at the hotel suite
Location: The Grandeur, Hong Kong
The apartment’s large size in space-hungry Hong Kong, and the building’s name of “Dragon Orchard” in Chinese call for a grand and elegant design theme. Regina draws its inspiration from a luxurious yet comfortable living space: the hotel suite. -
Minimalism and Dance
Location: The Great Hill, Hong Kong
The owners were fans of minimalism. But with small children in the home, the designer felt staunch minimalism would not match the active life of this family. Her epiphany came at a modern dance show, where the dancers’ fluid movement brought grace and motion to life, despite the lack of stage design or costumes. The designer sought to re-create this by combining neutral colors and shapes with lines and elevations.
