Plenty of flexible spaces to facilitate human interactions. Welcoming & inviting
Spaces were designed with the intention of building relationships.
Introducing social spaces such as a dedicated bar & lounge creates a lifestyle/welcoming vibe crafting an experience which is more engaging & memorable. Being able to wine & dine exclusively in your own premise after business, leaves a strong impression on guests. The focus on building relationships though spaces differentiates them from their competitors.
Careful balance required to design work spaces that also function as entertainment spaces.

10）Tell us about the furniture, lighting, decoration, finishings.
Client understood the importance of investing in premium finishes to ensure the quality & durability.
Client infused his personal touch by adding one of his favorite art pieces into the bar lounge area. Sentimental value creates a sense of intimacy in the spaces. Definitely a conversational starter piece which invites him to share his personal story with his guests.
The landscape design at the courtyard was also carefully curated by the client himself.
11）Any interesting anecdotes that happened during the project you’ll like to share?
Making real life Mock ups for critical pieces of joinery - Working with a client that is detailed and experienced in renovations, mock ups are the way to go.
This helps to avoid any miscommunications & allows for adjustments until the client is comfortable to proceed with the actual joinery. This may be time consuming at the start but it sure prevents any dissatisfaction/cost implications if adjustments are required later on.
12）What challenges did you face, if any?
Working with a sector that is conservative in its approach to work place design.
A lot of time was spent transforming mindsets on how work places could function better with an integrated lifestyle - social spaces etc
