Embodying an understated design aesthetic, the space exudes an atmosphere of ‘Quiet luxury’ and tranquility. Spanning an area of 800 square feet, this meticulously designed apartment was completed in the middle of 2023. The interior design and construction were expertly handled by the esteemed team at XLMS, ensuring a harmonious blend of functionality and elegance throughout the space.
Luxury Apartment 'Design and Build' project located in 'Larvotto' - East Ap Lei Chau, Hong Kong.
In a region where conspicuous consumption is the norm, our client declared that they wanted an home that is understated ‘Simple and spacious with tonnes of storage’ . However the challenge was to also add two extra bedrooms into the original luxury one bedroom 1100sft apartment that hosted a generous living and dining area, overlooking the vibrant Aberdeen marina and its channel and beyond to the adventures on the hill of the famous ocean park.
Adding the 2 extra bedrooms posed a serious threat in that it would compromise the existing spacious layout and impact on the spectacular views, this was successfully achieved by careful and clever space planning adaptation around the existing structural layout and services. With a generous amount of daylight flooding the interior, the palate of finishes selected of white painted joinery and light colored timbers on feature walls and floors enhance the light quality into the new living area, offering a sense of calmness and a place where you could feel like relaxing the entire Sunday afternoon.
Overall the project adhered by strict feng shui principles by a master that came to consult on the project, so as designers we had to respect the personal, cultural and spiritual requirements of the client, with the occasional compromise through alternative solutions. These principles were no use of dark colors, location of beds and doors, colors on walls in the bedrooms were carefully selected and even the number of light fittings in each room were specific.

New Award Winning XLMS design and build project located in Hong Kong’s vibrant district of Wan Chai. The project redefines the engineering office workplace, showcasing Cundall’s innovation and industry leading sustainability expertise.
The Cundall office is the new benchmark of how to cost effectively deliver a first class office fit-out whilst creating a healthy, efficient and future proof space. The 3,500 ft2 office, located on the 7th floor of The Hennessy, Hong Kong, has been designed to incorporate as many WELL Building Standard™ and LEED principles as possible.
The main office area is open-plan and flooded with natural light from the 4.5m floor-to-ceiling windows. Some 90 percent of the office workstations have access to views and, by installing PVC- free blinds against the windows, solar glare is controlled to optimise visual comfort.
An upcycle approach has been incorporated within the sustainable building design at The Hennessy with a conscious decision to reuse existing materials rather than buying new alternatives. 1770kg of waste diverted from landfill, almost 1427kg CO2 saved from disposal emissions. The most striking expression of this approach can be found in the feature wall within the reception area which utilises reclaimed wood from an old Hong Kong fishing trawler that once worked the South China Sea.
Without compromising the design and effectiveness of the lighting, fluorescent light fixtures have been reused from Cundall’s previous office to create a comfortable lighting scheme that meets both WELL and LEED standards.
Costs-in-use are kept to a minimum by using efficient lighting with occupancy-detection and daylight-dimming controls. By placing luminaires only where they are needed, a 25 percent better lighting power density than the ASHRAE 90.1-2010 standards has been attained, as well as gaining maximum points against the interior lighting power credit under LEED.
Innovative ventilation solution that uses pre-fabricated fabric air ducts create great thermal comfort, it has a longer life span, reusable, lower air leakage and easy to install.
Harnessing the latest technology and utilizing Cundall’s in-house innovative development IEQube®, we continue to monitor Cundall’s indoor environment quality with Cundall’s interactive building performance dashboard
