Project: Retrofuturist Condo
Interior Design: Adrian Chan Design & Research Office (ADRO)
Location: Hong Kong
Size: 1,265 sq.ft
Completed 2021
Located at the Mid-Levels, Hong Kong’s most cosmopolitan district, this 3-bedroom apartment was designed with respect to its cultural and geographical context: an expansive front-facing view of Victoria Harbour, the original inspiration behind the Cyberpunk genre, and a rear-facing view of the rolling hills of The Peak. As such, we applied a retro-futuristic language expressed through geometric forms and curated objects, while simultaneously drawing on naturalistic elements and textures reflected by its location.
Originally intended for a family of 4, the apartment was reconfigured to suit the lifestyle of the owner who is a young professional. Children’s rooms were reprogrammed as walk-in closet space and meditation and media chambers. Curvaceous cabinetry ensured that the owner’s massive collections of artifacts, stamps and memorabilia were well stored while enabling streamlined circulation throughout the space.
