Home Influencer
The Victoria Towers
We designed an elegant residence for a dynamic family with young children in Hong Kong. We desired to create a minimal and natural 'Instagram-able' home that reflects the parents' fashion blogging, trendy and healthy lifestyles.

Home Influencer: A lifestyle-driven design for a fashionable family
The materials palette is natural and simple, with tasteful luxurious accents of leather and metal details in the bespoke joinery. Light-filled, minimalistic surfaces and subtle textures form the white-ish backdrop of an Instagram-able space.
Inspired by the Japanese Genkan (a traditional Japanese entryway for a house), our concept was to create a timber-lined foyer as a moment to slow down, take off your shoes on a stone floor, before entering the apartment on a softer timber floor. The foyer's timber slats create a visually porous effect, which results in a layered effect of the apartment's main dining and living space.

The dining room set is curated with a pendant light, a timber table, and a built-in seat on one side, especially appropriate for the toddlers who are siblings and could sit together. A pair of full height storage on either side of the corridor creates an architectural feature in the apartment's centre.
The Materials: Muted Colours + Soft Textures
Unlike the many neutral colour schemed skincare stores that are already on the market, the materials palette here is driven by a tasteful combination of soft colours such as taupes, beiges, and greens, with a limited use of terrazzo stones, timber and metal accents. The result is a bright, soothing and refreshing space that feels unique to the brand.
