Adrian Chan Design & Research Office has achieved the office design for a confidential investment firm located in Hong Kong.
The brief for this HR and investment advisory firm in Hong Kong emphasized communication and openness, values that the company wanted to project to its clients and employees. The space, however, had features that made this difficult: very low ceilings and a tight enclosure. Our solution: A cue was taken from the interiors of the early 20th century style ‘Prairie School’ where there were often horizontal bands of windows and lines that would direct one’s attention to the ‘horizontal’ and away from the ceiling height.
In much the same vein, cabinetry in the space are conceived as a series of floating ‘functional blocks’ embedded along a peripheral gallery-like wall that invites occupants to follow its path. Each ‘functional block’ fulfills an essential purpose, whether it be ‘stationary & printing’ or ‘food & beverage’, and is celebrated as an aesthetic curiosity. The remaining areas then allow for flexible programming and private moments, maximizing spatial efficiency. For instance, the entry foyer doubles as a reception, huddle space, training room and event area; a backroom serves as storage for folding chairs and a private relaxation pod.
Materiality leans towards warm, textural and light finishes, with abundant usage of light oak, copper and calacatta marble. Views of the greenery outside are captured by establishing direct sightlines right as you enter the space– all of this contributing to a feeling of openness and airiness.
