Adrian Chan Design & Research Office (A:DRO) is a studio that strives for aesthetic and usage ingenuity in the realm of the interior. We define Ingenuity as inventive moves that embrace the opportunities of a project to reach an exceptional outcome. Aesthetic as a fundamental need for humans to be in contact with beauty in their spatial environment. Trend vs. originality is a false dichotomy - the definition of beauty should surface naturally via the client/designer relationship based on cultural, perceptual and experiential concerns. Usage as the performative qualities of space, whether it be providing physical & emotional comfort or encouraging sociability.
