By definition of designing a show flat, we offer the future users a dream of luxury modern living.  Hong Kong has its reputation of being one of the cities with fastest pace in today’s world.  We believe a space that we share our private experiences with family should not take energy, but restore and give energy.  While the attention of detail is a must, the way we dwell should offer both comfort and harmony, the ultimate luxury of our time.

Located at one of the most convenient site in Kowloon where going to the airport is within half an hour from the city, the Austine Place attracts frequent travellers as its potential owners who spent equivalent amount of time living in hotels around than world than in Hong Kong. Therefore, a sense of home becomes a key philosophy when designing this space.

Two fictional owners has been created – Mr. and Mrs. Chan, a young couple who spend half of their time in London and the other half in Hong Kong.  Mr. Chan is an Architect and his wife is a fashion designer, both of them are frequent travellers who like to collect art pieces around the world.

We use the concept of a jewellery box in the centre of the home that accommodating not only amenities such as TV and fireplace in the living area but also hidden storages for practicality.  This pearl‘jewellery box’ feature extends from the living space to the master bedroom within the 2 bedroom suite with doors along the corridor perfectly concealed.  Integrated metal shelving along this feature allows the owners to display their collectables and contrasts to the white moulding panels at the opposite side which act as a delicate background for the paintings and sculptures.  In the living space, we use a fireplace as the focal point, believing this could bring family and their friends together and closer during the winter time.
