Space scarcity in Hong Kong, a drive to work and play hard, and long work hours–these were the constraints Artwill faced when designing this office that doubled as an extension of the owner’s home. Instead of a standard office solution of an open plan with partitions, they leveraged the tall ceiling to form an elevated box for the office. The space underneath was perfect for displaying the owner’s art collection with its lack of light. With a projector screen, the unit’s centre served as the conference room. But the sofa here allowed it to become a home theatre over the weekend.
