Clifford Chance is located in 'Jardine House' overlooking Hong Kong harbor in the Central district. With this project we wanted to bring a fresh face to their workspace, introducing newly developed glazing with concealed sliding office doors to pass the harbor light back into the space. Custom storage solutions & high performance sit-stand desking were added to give all staff good ergonomics. To give a central social thread, we developed a pantry per floor that you can see in these photographs.

Based in Hong Kong Circa ia was formed in 2007 to act as design manager for large projects in Asia; developing in 2010 to offer a full design role. We have covered projects in HK, Singapore, Taipei, Mumbai, Pune, New Delhi, & Seoul; ranging from peer review, through concept designer, schematic designer, to most commonly a full design role. We like to consider human values, not just the functionality & aesthetics of the space e.g. to observe human activity, interaction, & respond to a real not perceived need. We operate a mentoring system, & treat design as a team activity.

Circa ia is a Hong Kong based design practice, covering contemporary workplace projects. We are known for the amount of detail we commit to a project; & the organizing of workshops to get the right result. We operate a mentoring system, & strongly team based in our approach.
