DESIGN NAME: Harbour Green
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Residential
INSPIRATION: This apartment is surrounded by tall buildings and with all windows facing north-south, the concern was that natural lighting permeate through the depth of living area. Being impossible to bring in sunlight, the designer decided to mount a yellow cabinet on the wall to brighten up this dark living area.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The designer bifurcated this 2,200 square-foot apartment into living room, dining room, maid’s room, den, the son’s room, the master room and a kitchen.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: To expand the energetic rhythm, a colourful Bonaldo table with six Leaf chairs are placed and a Bang Boom light is suspended from the ceiling to exhibit photos of happy and cherishable moments.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project finished in Jan 2013 in Hong Kong
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Interior Space and Exhibition Design

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The glossy white wall is used to surround the whole living and dining area to create an atmosphere of weightlessness. All the doors are camouflaged to make the unit appear neat and tidy. To create a bigger and more spacious room for the son’s play and bed areas, the designer combined two rooms into one. A sliding black board door is used to hide the electronic piano, making the place more organized.
A padded green headboard made for master bedroom as the focus and side mirrors are placed to create the illusion that there is space behind. The ensuite bathroom is located behind the hidden door on the white wall adjacent to the bed. A small walk-in-closet is combined here with the bathroom. White marble and mirrors are used in the bathroom to visually expand this tiny space.
