APIDA Chairman’s Message
Wesley Liu
Chairman
APIDA 2015
It is my 3rd year serving as Chairman of the Asia Pacific Interior Design Awards (APIDA). The 23rd APIDA
is a very different edition for us, one in which we are looking for “CHANGE”. In addition to receiving
an increasing number of entries as a whole, we also obtained many more entries from countries in
the Asia Pacific region. We are especially pleased that many of these entries came from some of the
world’s most distinguished designers. This has further proven APIDA’s position as truly one of the most
important Interior Design Awards in the region. In terms of the adjudication panel, this year we have a
very powerful group from a very diverse background, which ensures that the winner’s works are not
only approved by industry practitioners but also by developers and other end-users.
Looking through 3 years of judging with different professionals, I understand how looking at winning
entries can put a glow in the judges’ eyes. Unlike many other awards, APIDA’s judges do not only look
at the aesthetics, but also the space arrangement and the story line behind the design brief. Another
interesting thing I observed is a trend on cross-categories projects appearing in the entries. For instance,
work space may not be classified as work space but instead were submitted as living space. It has
become evident that the use of interior space is becoming more and more complicated, perhaps in a
more efficient and healthier way (i.e. work-life balance).
With our concerted efforts in raising professional standards (The RIDA Project) and the exchange program
with other Asia Pacific countries (The East Gathering Program), we have been successfully bridging
different design cultures as well as promoting the winners work overseas. This year, we extended our
promotional tool for our winners by publishing a winner’s book. Additionally, thanks to our RIDA project
committee, we have been successfully invited some of our international judges and other Masters to
participate in our Master Talk series as one of the extra components of the APIDA Gala event.
Last but not least, I would like to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt thanks to our local and
international judges for their valuable time, genuine insight and supportive aspirations. I also wish to
extend our congratulations to all the winners this year. These awards recognize the excellence and
contributions you have made towards our industry. In addition, I offer my deepest gratitude to all of our
executive committee, members and supporting organizations who have lead the way to the continued
success of the 23rd APIDA.

Local Adjudicators
Dr. Adrian Cheng
Executive Vice Chairman and Joint General Manager,
New World Development Founder and Honorary Chairman, K11 Art Foundation
Q1. What does Interior Design mean to you?
Interior design is an art form, it is an artisanal craft of creating an experience. Beyond fitting out a given space with fixtures,
furniture and a design concept, I believe interior design has at its core a consideration for people, that is, how a person navigates
and enjoys their surrounding environment. The emotional connection between a volume and its users is a fundamental
element of design, because ultimately, architecture and its segments provides a framework for living, shaping the rhythms and
memories of our daily lives. This philosophy extends to the ventures in which I am involved, from creating incubating platforms
for the contemporary art and design to residential developments and further. Interior design informs our daily animations in
innumerable ways.
Q2. What makes a good Interior Design?
In order to create genuinely impactful design, I believe risks are always taken. It is important not to follow trends or replicating
what is in fashion, but to challenge the norm and create the unexpected. I think great interior design result in transformative and
timeless spaces, a most visionary form of curation that delivers a sophisticated complexity and depth of layering, but yet looks
effortless and simple aesthetically. Of course, it is a very personal form of artistic expression, but central to all design is a fine
balance between concept and functionality, the visceral and technical or the rational and emotional.
Q3. How is a good Interior Design able to communicate our spaces?
Interior design is driven by an essence of storytelling, a narrative that encompasses people, processes, products, and the
environment in a holistic way. Every element, from the monolithic to micro, is testament to a talented group of individuals designers, craftsmen, technicians, engineers, artists, architects, clients - and embodies their inherent value of design. By this very
nature, interior design is human-centric, and every element should be considered. To conjure up an experiential environment,
be it a lounge, a restaurant, a hotel, a clubhouse, an art space, there needs to be a continuum of form and function, where all
these separate components of sound, lighting, materials, decor and proportions seamlessly present a clarity of space. When this
delicate philosophy is achieved, the design will naturally provoke response and reaction, enabling users to really feel and leave
with a strong impression.
Q4. What do you think of this year’s entries?
This year’s entries are diverse in their response to the cultural and aesthetic shifts we have witnessed in the Asia Pacific. The
designers are brought together by a thread of dynamic innovation. Across the broad categories, these creative voices will
resonate across the region and beyond, impacting the future of how we envision design, materiality and space. I am grateful to
have had the opportunity to celebrate contemporary design that engages with the lived experience.
Q5. How do you see Interior Design within the Asia Pacific in comparison with the rest of the world?
Design is a universal language that transcends cultural and geographical boundaries. The discipline communicates differently with
each individual or collective at a powerful emotional level, eliciting a response regardless of our backgrounds. As such, I believe the
world of design is increasingly global and changing rapidly, and it is difficult to put clear distinctions on constructed boundaries.
With that said, interior design within Asia Pacific is certainly maturing, with many talents emanating on the international stage of
late. Neri & Hu, Joyce Wang, Andre Fu and Alan Chan are undoubtedly household names, but there is also a critical new generation
of designers who are pushing and shaping the industry today. With the rise of notable design platforms across the region, from
Business of Design Week, International Design Furniture Fair, Maison & Objet among others, interior design is poised to grow and
evolve in Asia Pacific, leading, defining and changing the scene with discoveries, technologies and innovation.
Q6. Do you think Interior Designers in the Asia Pacific Region still have an advantage in comparison with the rest of
the world?
Interior designers working in the Asia Pacific region have a unique sensibility, but not necessarily an advantage per se. Being
well-positioned at the cross-roads between the East and the West, Asia provides countless stimuli and inspiration for all creative
practitioners. However, designers across the world have increasing mobility and flexibility, and our globalised world enables
each practice to easily adapt to local cultures, making their visions international in reach. These entities represent a unique
individuality of design expression and I think ultimately, it is not where designers come from but their design concept, language
and vocabulary that will speak volumes. The digital evolution has also provided unprecedented access to collaborators,
information or inspirations, creating new platforms to communicate and form partnerships beyond the confines of physicality.
An art pioneer, Dr Adrian Cheng founded the K11 Art Foundation (“KAF”),
the first non-profit art foundation in China, to incubate contemporary
Chinese artists and curators and to promote public art education. Dr

Mr. Alberto Puchetti
Architect & Director, Arboit Ltd
Q1. What does Interior Design mean to you?
Design is the result of a creative process producing right answers to new necessities and conceiving new aesthetic languages
to overcome conventionality and stimulate dialogue among different cultures, lifestyles and identities. Design should push and
overcome boundaries of habits of marketing oriented societies to instigate alternative and sustainable solutions in order to
recuperate balance between modern living and natural environment. The challenge of environmentally sustainable design goes
hand in hand with historical investigations of local traditions both in terms of cultural heritages and in terms of solutions resulted
from centuries of interaction between environment and human living necessities; for this reason Design today couldn’t be called
modern if it is not considered as a result of past experiences. Only the study of history of design’s aesthetic languages as well as
production and construction techniques could actually defined what is needed today to make design getting a relevant role in
our society.
Q2. What makes a good Interior Design?
Design is good when it is a critical investigation into today’s necessities within the context of critical aspects of our society such
as environmentally sustainable processes to answers a much needed balance between industrial societies and nature as well
as cultural interaction between different communities. Good design is an opportunity of dialogue between different cultures.
Good design happens when solutions are met through successful aesthetic works and smart sustainable technical production or
constructions. To figure out these qualities normally it takes the test of the time as when instead the priority criteria driving the
process are only about the economical profit the quality of the result tuned out to work only for short terms solutions.
Q3. How is a good Interior Design able to communicate our spaces?
In order for design to communicate a good method of work includes the creative use of graphic design applied to architectural
surfaces to deliver a strong vision. This approach also involves a great deal of technological innovation as the intent of applying
digital artwork to the architectural surfaces does necessarily have to go through usage of sophisticated materials as decoration
is not simply applied to a support but the material itself is actually treated to become a decorative element. New technologies
would ensure a better quality in terms of durability as well as more exciting aesthetic results as today’s mass consumers are
increasingly used to the work of designers and truly appreciate when something special is communicated. Design is today used
more and more as communication tool to normally express the vision of the brand but also more excitingly to tell a story, create
an atmosphere or express cultural values as well as challenging innovative perceptions of interior space. New technologies
and the crossing over by various artistic disciplines are also key features of using interior architecture as communication tool.
Architecture, Graphic Design, Product and Furniture Design as well as Digital Arts turn out to be like interactive players of the
same game. In today’s companies’ collaborations between creative professionals from different background is almost a necessity
to make the interior design vibrant and expressions of contemporary culture.
Q4. What do you think of this year’s entries?
This year’s entries embody the design-cape of Asia right now. There are several design ‘trends’ in today’s design scene that
are also confirmed by the general impression resulted in reading design magazines and are able to out-line how the market
is evolving right now. The most interesting direction concerns the projects with a strong visual identity as there are so many
offers in the market right now it seems mandatory for each of these projects to differentiate and mark an aesthetic “territory”
which coincide with the positioning of the brands on the market; in all these project there is a strong use of graphic elements
as communicative tool. Another group of project has a more purist, minimalist approach and put in the center of the discussion
environmentally sustainable design ethic as driving criteria in developing the project. A more traditional approach belong to the
more commercially oriented projects trying to follow the main stream demands of the market for a more elegant yet corporative
aesthetic image.
In considering the whole body of work of this year’s entries it is definitely perceivable a strong creative energy that sometimes is
channeled in very different directions but over all as a mutual denominator they all are signals of a developing design landscape.
Q5. How do you see Interior Design within the Asia Pacific in comparison with the rest of the world?
Asian Pacific design scene is generally characterized by a rich visual culture. This richness is translated in quite different results,
each of them quite radical, from futuristic ultramodern design or tao- minimalism atmosphere, from neo-modern subtle color
palettes to very decorative traditional ethno patterns. They all represent the different souls of the continent. Western design
scene is more homogenous as design has been a subject of cultural expression for such a long time and it have been growing up
in recent years towards a less figurative and more conceptual fashion.
Q6. Do you think Interior Designers in the Asia Pacific Region still have an advantage in comparison with the rest of
the world?
Because of the design scene is a cultural reflection of a fast changing reality and because Asia-pacific region is still in the process
of maturing its own identity and enjoying at the same time an economic momentum it probably represents today the most lively
design scene.
A technological innovative industrial production is supporting the design industry with new materials and an increasingly higher
level of quality, at the same time important issues like environment sustainability and cultural heritages are taking in to accounts.
For all these motifs Asia-pacific is a very interesting reality to monitor as all the multi faceted aspects seems quite radicalized and
at the same time relating to each other as cultural elements of an open discussion which is not going to be only about the cultural
identity of a region but also about the future of design.

Dr. Edmund Lee
Executive Director, Hong Kong Design Centre
Q1. What does Interior Design mean to you?
Interior design involves not only the designing of space, but also how the various design elements, in a holistic fashion, connect
the space with the people, time and surrounding environment.
Q2. What makes a good Interior Design?
Good interior design reflects the style and personality of the space and place, and the project sponsor and designer behind it.
Good design also has the ability to create empathy and connect people with stories and senses of quality, fine details, harmony
and well-being.
Q3. How is a good Interior Design able to communicate our spaces?
This has to do with the power of Design – how designers create an engaging experience through embracing the content and
context of the people, place and ambience. Interior designers need to have the ability to read into the spirit and nature of space
in relation to the locale, time, culture, people and perceived senses of well-being.
Q4. What do you think of this year’s entries?
The sheer number of entries reflects a robust market demand for a diversity of projects from various categories. This year’s
entries also reflect an appetite for design with sophistication and an embrace of cultural and changing values in our society,
providing a looking glass into the broad continuum of Asian values and cultures.
Q5. How do you see Interior Design within the Asia Pacific in comparison with the rest of the world?
The Asia Pacific is an important market vis-à-vis the rest of the world, offering abundant and exciting opportunities for designers.
There are many good Asian designers who can read deep into the geographical, cultural and social fabric of society and users’
needs. In view of the region’s current and evolving lifestyles, I believe that authenticity, the effective use of space, functionality,
aesthetics, simplicity, harmony and timelessness will remain key attributes of good design.
Q6. Do you think Interior Designers in the Asia Pacific Region still have an advantage in comparison with the rest of
the world?
Definitely. The Asia Pacific region is characterized by an ensemble of cosmopolitan, diverse and localized cultures at different
stages of market maturity. It is precisely this continuum of contrast and richness of cultural perspectives that shape our designs.
There is also a growing demand for well-balanced, authentic, cultural and immersive experience in the global market which also
presents vast opportunities for Asian designers.

A good interior makes people becomes part of the environment and they can enjoy every little detail of the space. Through this
senses of interior space we are able to understand more about the abstract concepts of life.
Q4. What do you think of this year’s entries?
From this year’s entries we can observed that there is a certain trend exists in these projects. ‘‘Many entries’’ pays strong attention
in visual impact on the interior spaces.
In my opinion, interior is also products of out time, using ‘trend’ as a guideline in making interior is acceptable but if trend is used
as the sole expression of the interior space and without the understanding of our context it will become a design without a soul.
Q5. How do you see Interior Design within the Asia Pacific in comparison with the rest of the world?
Within the Asia Pacific Region traditional culture should be an inspiration and a powerful tool for interior designers and it is
something we should pursue and show the world.
Q6. Do you think Interior Designers in the Asia Pacific Region still have an advantage in comparison with the rest of
the world?
I am quite positive about the rise of the Asia interior design. The interior space created in the Asian Pacific imbued with a sense
of Asian tradition in both a tangible and intangible manner – expressing a real appreciation of the subtle experiential and
perceptual occupation of space as well as physical aspect of Asian traditions. Interior designers in the region manage to draw
inspiration from the past whilst embracing the future.
With comparison with rest of the world Asian Design reflects a kind of universal sensibility that is rational yet simple and thereby
representative of the new direction of our modern living.

Mr. Simon Yu
Associate, Zaha Hadid (Hong Kong) Ltd.
Q1. What does Interior Design mean to you?
Interior design transcends well beyond the fulfilment of a brief or a need, with mere decoration or the placement of objects. With
intent it has the power to articulate and defines for us all, immersive characters for spaces that touches on levels of intimacy,
interactions, identity and even synaesthesia.
Q2. What makes a good Interior Design?
When all aspects and elements are considered (or conceived) to articulate innovatively, spaces that foster values that are beyond
a sense of well-being.
Q3. How is a good Interior Design able to communicate our spaces?
Whether it’s the ability to conceive or transform the purpose and identity of a space, interior designs can manifest in many new
forms of communication. Choices in lighting, materials and music to ‘set a mood’; use scent to evoke memories; or straight lines
and perpendicular aesthetics to convey resolute/clean spaces are obvious examples – but with considerations beyond the norm,
innovative interiors can progressively blur these boundaries and react to these with seemingly minimum effort.
Q4. What do you think of this year’s entries?
I thoroughly enjoyed reviewing the broad range and variety of entries presented this year, and some very good entries can
perhaps be seen as the ‘risk-takers’ who stands out from the crowd. Although the designers have done a great job here, but their
respective clients should also share a recognition for entrusting their positive development of ideas.
Q5. How do you see Interior Design within the Asia Pacific in comparison with the rest of the world?
The Asia Pacific is uniquely placed when we compare it to the rest of the world. Whilst being firmly rooted against their respective
cultures, it continues to absorb a vast range of contemporary ideals and concepts that have created their own driven and dynamic
environments. However, I feel the impetus for interior designers is to avoid too much of the prevailing global and commercial
influences/trends and instead, continue to cultivate sensibilities that reflect the unique synergy and context of the region.
Q6. Do you think Interior Designers in the Asia Pacific Region still have an advantage in comparison with the rest of
the world?
The region has seen a steep increase in the general development of creative industries over recent years, and whilst this is in
part due to the rising development of communication technologies, the Asia Pacific is very well placed geographically. With its
close links to a broad range of resources in the region (from traditional craft and sensibilities, to vast contemporary industries
and materials) it is also very connected to the global network. It’s a wonderful synergy and it’s these aspects that give the region
a defined competitive edge.

Q1. What does Interior Design mean to you?
At its best, interior design is a manifestation of one’s culture, specific to a unique place and time!
Q2. What makes a good Interior Design?
Good interior design is always based on conveying an atmosphere, a story or a feeling. It is never simply just space.
Q3. How is a good Interior Design able to communicate our spaces?
Good interior design is always clear in delivering its message, it doesn’t send mixed messages. It communicates through the
careful mastering of scale, light and material.
Q4. What do you think of this year’s entries?
I really enjoyed the wide variety of approaches, it was very refreshing to compare and contrast them.
Q5. How do you see Interior Design within the Asia Pacific in comparison with the rest of the world?
I think there is a greater convergence of design approaches because of globalization, but at the same time, I see distinctiveness
that is unique to the Asia Pacific region that is hard to find elsewhere.
Q6. Do you think Interior Designers in the Asia Pacific Region still have an advantage in comparison with the rest of
the world?
Designers world-wide need to strive towards global standards, I think clients demand the highest quality wherever designers
may be from, Asia pacific or otherwise.

Q2. What makes a good Interior Design?
Combination. Texture, proportion, detail, lighting, and ideas make good design.
Q3. How is a good Interior Design able to communicate our spaces?

the world?
I do not think there are any advantages or disadvantages at this stage. However, I think opportunities for the works are extremely

Q1. What does Interior Design mean to you?
It’s an intellectual playground on which my world are created. Everything are engaged with each other behind the visual form. I
understand the world through this system.
Q2. What makes a good Interior Design?
One of the most important issue that makes good interior design is spatial cognition of designer and he or she has to concentrate
on the social issue of that time and experience on materiality.
Q3. How is a good Interior Design able to communicate our spaces?
Good interior design focuses on and even controls the people who uses the space, responding the environment.
Q4. What do you think of this year’s entries?
Most projects are very good and I enjoyed seeking the essence of space that they created. However, compared with the quality
of space, the story that they made wasn’t enough to demonstrate their idea and technic.
Q5. How do you see Interior Design within the Asia Pacific in comparison with the rest of the world?
Well...a few years ago they still traced just the form of what the western europe or USA does, neglecting the essential story
behind the form. But I realized that this year many of the projects are engaged with their own environment, concerning on not
just traditional one but the thing happening there now.

Mr. Tony Chi
tonychi and associates
Q1. What does Interior Design mean to you?
Interior Design for me is about bringing the ultimate hospitality experience and emotion within a particular space. When I
mention “hospitality”, I am not referring to a space that is exclusively a restaurant or hotel. Hospitality exists in every aspect of
our lives in our homes, where we meet and congregate with other people. Hospitality is a tradition and experience that is ancient
in origins, bringing comfort to people’s lives, the sense of what is familiar with the sense of bringing a sense of something new
into people’s lives. Life is the art of accumulation, not just in material things but experiences in emotions and memories.
Q2. What makes a good Interior Design?
When people experience a space for the first time and they have a lasting impression of the sense, feel, touch and smell of the
space, this is what makes outstanding interior design. Many confuse interior design with the visual aspect, making decoration
the most important aspect. Decoration is one element but design is all about the senses. Bringing all these together, the tangible
with the intangible, brings the tangible with the intangible. When initiating a project, imagining and exploring how and what
people will experience, how they will move within the space, what they will feel, touch, smell, hear, how they will mingle with
other people, these are the lasting impressions you want people to take with them. This is what me and our studio, tonychi and
associates, are passionate and desire to bring in our projects and our approach to design.
Q3. How is a good Interior Design able to communicate our spaces?
Interior Design is all about deepening the relationship between the individual within a particular space. You do not want people
just to remember “ that was a beautiful space” but “that space left a profound memory” or that “space desired to change or add
something to bring to my everyday life”. Design is about influencing and evolving people’s lives and interior design must always
seek to achieve this.
Q4. What do you think of this year’s entries?
I find the entries this year demonstrate an overall effort to explore further how design can be applied in every aspect within a
space. There appears to be a search to capture this strong relationship with the individual and the space. All the entries are to
be commended!
Q5. How do you see Interior Design within the Asia Pacific in comparison with the rest of the world?
The cultures in Asia-Pacific region are deeply rooted in the tradition of hospitality. There is a passion and commitment in hospitality
that is a valued legacy in the cultures and peoples throughout Asia - Pacific. People proudly invite new friends and guests to
their homes upon their initially making their acquaintance. Overall Asian cultures there is a process of accumulation where items
and accessories and materials are carried down from one generation to another which link the past and the present. There is a
reverence for nature and with the natural landscapes found throughout the continent. Taking these various elements from the
cultures through Asia-Pacific provide a tradition and culture that will always create significant interior design opportunities.
Q6. Do you think Interior Designers in the Asia Pacific Region still have an advantage in comparison with the rest of
the world?
I believe that the Asia Pacific region from a design aspect has achieved so much and evolved greatly in a short amount of time. It
will continue to have a tremendous advantage to explore and take from their culture and philosophy and transform into design.
Design requires the passion from within as it is not just a profession but a way and philosophy of life.
Renowned for creating the most finest and memorable experiences in
hospitality throughout the world, Tony Chi’s commitment and passion
comes has deep roots in the tradition of hospitality which exists within each
culture and society and within our own selves as well.
Born in Taiwan and raised in New York from an early age, Tony Chi observed the
differences of cultures but also their common similarities and aspirations. His
interest in design formed at an early age from his passion to draw. Ultimately,
Tony Chi became a designer as he was intrigued with the opportunity to
explore how design can“build a soul”within a space and property. Since his
youth, Tony Chi observed how hotels properties and hospitality environments
created defining moments in people’s lives for being centers of family
gatherings, weddings, reunions and a memorable travel destination.
Since establishing tonychi and associates in 1984, Tony Chi has approached
each project not only as a designer but a creative developer, an operator
and a lifestyle visionary. tonychi and associates has been passionately
committed to the create the finest and most genuine hospitality experiences.
The studio’s collaborations have evolved iconic brand names such Park
Hyatt, Intercontinental, Rtiz Carlton. Tony Chi has also created the stage
for new brand hospitality names such as Andaz 5th Avenue completed in
2010. Recent projects in the last several years include Park Hyatt Shanghai,
Rosewood London, Intercontinental Geneva, Mandarin Oriental Guangzhou.

Mr. Sefer Cağlar & Ms. Seyhan Ozdemir
Founder of Autoban
Q1. What does Interior Design mean to you?
Interior design is a practice that has many facets, and it is an extension of the architecture. It is a series of creative and functional
design solutions for a programmed interior. Transforming a space through sheer knowledge of structure, proportions, materials,
textures, colours, and of course, the clients needs.
Q2. What makes a good Interior Design?
Good interior design is ticking a lot of boxes. Is every aspect fully considered? Does it make the best possible use of its situation,
its history, its future? Does it succeed within its environment, its neighbourhood, its community? Design is everywhere. But good
design improves things – brings people together, improves performance, creates value, enhances wellbeing, cultivates a sense
of belonging and encourages exploration. It’s our goal to enrich people’s lives through the power of good interior design. We
challenge ourselves to offer them new inspiring experiences with each project.
Q3. How is a good Interior Design able to communicate our spaces?
Good interior design is storytelling. You begin at the beginning: seeking to understand the context and characters. You consider
how the project came to be, what came before and what will take place in future. You tell these stories in materials, space and
form. And in that way interior design communicates brand’s/people’s vision, culture and identity.
Q4. What do you think of this year’s entries?
The entries were quite diverse and colourful
which made us enjoy the whole process. It was exciting to see how each designer
brought up their own expression and made a solid statement. Taking the region’s dynamics into account, it was a unique
experience for us in its own right to see and evaluate all these new approaches. Particularly the entries under the installation
and exhibition space category were very impressive. Asia Pacific is quite a big region. So, it was also interesting for us to see the
differences in a designer’s approach from Japan or from China. Each entrant had his/her own voice, which is a natural extension
of his/her own cultural identity. Perhaps we wouldn’t be this much aware of these slight differences if we didn’t get the chance to
see them all at once. So, thank you for giving us the opportunity.
Q5. How do you see Interior Design within the Asia Pacific in comparison with the rest of the world?
Design speaks a universal language. That’s for sure. However, the local dynamics, people’s habits, and the available material
choices differ from region to region affecting the design approach and identity of that region. We think that this brings a certain
kind of diversity to the rest of the world, and prevents uniformity. We see new approaches, new interpretations.
Q6. Do you think Interior Designers in the Asia Pacific Region still have an advantage in comparison with the rest of
the world?
Designers from Asia Pacific Region are definitely taking advantage of their own turf. Despite the slight local differences, they have
a mutual tone of voice that speaks to the people’s way of living and answering their needs in general. It is always an interesting
experience to see when designers from a certain region bring their own identity and apply it to a new culture in another part of
the world. Generating creative solutions for different needs, habits and expectations… This is what creates the diversity that we
always want to see. This is how the industry prospers.

Darry Ring Jewelry Shop
One Plus Partnership (Hong Kong) Limited
This ‘once in a lifetime’ strong commitment enlightens
designers to evoke message throughout interior. Eyecatching ribbon-like white decorations on ceiling
immediately draw guests’ attention. Decorations run
continuously throughout the entire ceiling, resembling
infinity symbol. Shape of a sideways figure eight is a
mathematical symbol representing the concept of
infinity. Stripes of ribbon-like decorations run freely along
the ceiling, sometimes intertwined, but never break.
They act as never ending loop without interruptions. Not
do they only symbolize infinity, they also correspond to
a loving couple holding hands, walking down aisle to
overcome any struggles or difficulties ahead.
Designers use purest color - white to trigger people’s
imagination with wedding and commitment. The
overall modern and chic design emphasize on simplicity.
Thus, with composition of simple color tones like white
and warm gray. Throughout the whole interior, the
designers use several ring-shaped designs to subtly
convey the message.

Japan shop project in Kuala Lumpur
Yamazaki Kentaro Design Workshop
This shop sells traditional Japanese crafts in a commercial
complex in Kuala Lumpur. When viewed from the outside
passage, the sales floor fixtures are illuminated with
spot lighting to create a sharp contrast between light
and shadow. Towards the rear, there is a cafe separated
from the sales floor by a grid screen. The rearmost wall
behind the cafe bar is covered in reflective tin leaf and is
uniformly illuminated.
When viewed from outside, the screen creates a
silhouette resembling a Japanese shoji door caught the
light, giving the space a sense of depth.
As these elements come together, a uniquely Japanese
light and shadow aesthetic exemplified in Kyoto’s
Katsura Imperial Villa is recreated within the context of
a commercial facility.
The tin leaf wall covering, meticulously handmade
by Japanese craftsmen, imparts the high degree of
Japanese spatial expression to the local workers who
applied it.

Food Space
Akebono at Le Meridien Zhengzhou
Neri&Hu Design and Research Office
The Akebono Japanese restaurant at the Zhengzhou Le
Meridian is designed with a sense of path in mind, as a
restaurant is always a space for gastronomic journey.
The major spatial definition is achieved by different
walnut wooden boxes, rising high and low, dropping
here and there, forming a sense of some abstracted
landscape. Either one sees them as mountain, rocks,
or seascape, is not as important as the poetics of space
and light this effect achieves. A path that leads to the
different alcoves which form the dining areas provides
a serene walk for the diners before they arrive at their
table. As they dine they are also given glimpses of
different views to various perspectives of the landscape.
This enhances the journey of the diners as they taste the
food, that they are also engaged in a visual encounter
equally interesting and profound.
Le Mei at Le Meridien Zhengzhou
Neri&Hu Design and Research Office
The Chinese restaurant at the Le Meridian, Le Mei, is
a restaurant design that is inspired by the concept of
bamboo forest. The dining room is a variation of open
seating, small clusters of semi private seating, and closed
private dining rooms. Here raw bamboo is stained a
dark charcoal grey, and expressed as refined scaffolding,
forming the different functional dining areas. Diners
are gathered under and in-between abstracted clusters
of bamboo “rooms”, evoking a strangeness between
modern design and a call back to nature. As most
Chinese restaurants are either designed with overly
expressed motifs or falls within the expected cultural
exaggeration, neri&hu sought to express an uncanny
connection to the culture of china without employing
cliches or stereotypes. The end result is a different kind
of Chinese-ness that engages symbolism with comfort
and style.

A good chef can create signature dishes from basic ingredients with his cooking
techniques. For this restaurant, we try to create a distinctive “flavour” with the
most common “ingredients” – plastic, steel and wood, and we cook with light
and shadow.
We have chosen an environmentally-friendly regrind type of flameretardant recyclable plastic to make the wall and ceiling panels. With natural
daylight and night time illumination, two different atmospheres can be
created to suit the menus for lunch and dinner. Injection moulded plastic
is used instead of glass for its similar effect, but with reduced weight, lower
costs and easier construction.

Together with the solid wood service counter cabinets and the steel trees, and

Sometimes texture is an ineffable thing, not so much a style as an impression
the space has left in the mind of the viewer, evoking a certain yearning with
every thought. The HISUSHI Lake shop is a pioneering endeavor to abandon
form and let the materials speak for themselves. Complex approaches may be
able to create an ephemeral visual impact, but satiation inevitably comes with
time. Instead, when we take the most essential materials and give them the
time and space to simply be, they will tell their own quietly profound story that
leaves an indelible mark on the heart.

Leo Burnett. Located within the Landmark East AIA
Kowloon Tower in Kwun-Tong Hong Kong, the creative
agency inhabits two floors totaling 35,000sqft, as well as
a large external terrace. The design encourages a high
degree of social interactions for the staff to increase
productivity of creative works.
The design aesthetic was generated from an exchange
of contextual narratives, from local hipster culture
of the post-industrial district, to drawing parallel
interpretations of the urban vibrancy of Williamsburg in
Brooklyn. The new office would support a highly dynamic
working culture in a creative agency, with a variety of
spaces such as open plan work clusters, semi-private
discussions, private meetings, and enclosed offices. The
main feature is a set of sculptural meeting rooms inspired
by local traditions of ship construction methodology.

overlooking the west bank of the Xiang River. The library
consists of a main reading space, a bar/café, event space,
meeting room and lounges. Its proximity to Hunan
University and the region’s famous Yuelu Academy
informed the project’s cultural nod to Changsha’s
prestigious scholarly past. The Yuelu Academy, founded
in the Song Dynasty is revered as one of the four most
renowned “shuyuan” in China and served as a center for
higher learning focusing on ascetic philosophy and moral
cultivation. Drawing inspiration from the local culture
of contemplative learning immersed in both nature
and artifice (typical of traditional Chinese gardens), the
architectural concept behind the architect’s modern
interpretation of the library merges the unique visual
framework represented in traditional Chinese handscroll
paintings with the Western sensibilities of function.

The exterior is given a coating using lightly colored stone paint. Multiple
perspectives, diffractions, and incisions have been strewn across the planar
surfaces. The sides have been fashioned into a series of continuous and threedimensional edges to create a sensuously engaging effect of overlapping
blocks. Upon entry, a visitor is greeted by an assemblage of cut sheets of
wooden elements stretching across the ceilings and flowing down the sides.
The lines wrap around and link hollows created for illuminating interfaces,
creating an enriching selection of shadows and layers and creating a visual
sensation filled with extreme tension. And that allows light to flow freely into
every corner and crevice in the area.

In particular, the robot signage installed at entrance is a fusion of 8 sets of 7-axis
robot arms and the LCD displays, which is said to be the first motion multidisplay system ever in the world. Coupled with the videos, each arm creates
abundant movements to stimulate the sensibility of the visitors. The possibility

Paper was invented by Cai Lun, a Chinese official of the
Eastern Han Dynasty, in AD 75.
One of the Four Great Inventions of China, paper is now
seen around the world. It has played a significant role
in promoting cultural exchange and the popularization
of education, exerting great influences upon the
development of world civilization.
It is hard for us to imagine a world without paper, an
outcome of world civilization.
Today, however, in this civilized society ablaze with
numerous lights, paper becomes a tool that the
greedy people use for their own interests. Severe
ecological damage caused by excessive tree felling
has been a rather big threat to our lives. We appeal to
all that we shall not let paper put an end to nature, and
to human beings.
The innocent and kind paper wants to be heard: modern
civilization is reflected in nothing but environment
protection, green life, and blue sky.

the architectural concept behind designer’s renovation celebrates the long
tunnel quality of the existing structures. By cutting a straight line through both
buildings, the feeling of perspective is accentuated. The contrast between the

the breathing space that connects with mother nature.

Copper, with patina formed over time, is used as the
key material to showcase the impact of nature and, in
particular, sound. Curved copper cladding walls reflect
and concentrate sounds in different areas of the park.
These sounds - water flowing underneath copper plates,

rain falling over the copper - which resemble the river,
