The Flat is unique in the use of contemporary western and traditional Chinese Architectural elements to create a contiguous space. Its formal language bounces between the two influences to create a synthesis that is neither one nor the other. The resultant flat is curvaceous and sinuous at times as in the ceiling and the curved cabinetry in the living room. But is becomes angular with sharp cut outs to delineate the storage vitrines in the dining area and the cut-outs for the windows. It utilises natural materials throughout but bends wood and marble in ways they are not normally manipulated. Light colours and hidden lighting blur the boundaries of the space make the flat soft in its depth and atmospheric during the day while dramatic at night through lighting and material. The language becomes difficult to describe at it is many things and in this manner clearly at home in Hong Kong as a city made up of many things and different influences. From the modern chinoiserie screen to Italian bathroom tiles it is a residence firmly situated in the global and local and most certainly modern.
