EDITOR’S NOTE

This issue of Hong Kong Tatler Homes celebrates the talented designers behind the products, interiors and architecture of some extraordinary living spaces. Our cover story (p.64) looks at how Kelly Lo, who heads her own interior design firm, decorated her home—a duplex apartment with views of the beach and decor inspired by the sun going down over the water. Deborah Lloyd is the president and chief creative officer of Kate Spade New York and her weekend home in upstate New York is a stylish mix of mid-century pieces and items from the brand’s homeware line (p.72). Gerry Jue, founder and principal of San Francisco-based Bamo, told us how the busy Chao Phraya River influenced the interiors of The Capella Bangkok hotel (p.52). British designer Matthew Williamson shared insights from…

GLAMOUR ON TAP Kallista draws a following for its refined kitchen and bathroom accessories that balance classic and contemporary aesthetics.

SHANGHAI TANG: FROM NOSTALGIA TO MODERN CHINESE CHIC ASSOULINE If your preferred picture of China is more glorious Guilin mountains and less groaning Guangzhou factories, this is the book for you. From the other-worldly plains of the Gobi Desert to the sculptural beauty of Yunnan Province, this work celebrates China’s rich cultural and natural heritage. It also tells the story of fashion and interiors brand Shanghai Tang—from its inception more than two decades ago to its present incarnation. And if beautiful women are more your thing than beautiful landscapes, you’re in luck because the book also features striking shots of leading Chinese actress Gong Li, supermodels Du Juan and Liu Wen, and a variety of gorgeous images captured for Shanghai Tang by photographers such as Chen Man, Wing Shya and…

OFFICE POLITICS

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA Featuring a cosy palette of taupe and warm brown hues and a comparatively streamlined set of furniture, the decor of President Obama’s Oval Office is more subdued and modern than that of his predecessors. The Resolute desk, a popular choice among presidents, remains in place. It’s made from the oak remains of British Arctic exploration ship the HMS Resolute and was a gift from Queen Victoria to President Rutherford B. Hayes. Obama added a bust of Martin Luther King Jr and one of President Abraham Lincoln by American sculptor August Saint-Gaudens, while the rug has inspiring quotations along its border from the likes of King and President John F. Kennedy. The work of US painters Norman Rockwell (the statue of liberty) and Childe Hassam (the avenue in…

EASY SUNDAY MORNING

For San Franciscobased interior design firm Bamo, location and culture drive everything. And it shows in its hospitality and residential projects that include Asian developments such as the ultra-luxurious The Capella Bangkok hotel which is currently being built, and stylish Japanese retirement communities for Sun City. Your work is known for its continuity between indoor and outdoor spaces. How do you achieve that? It’s about establishing a conscious relationship between the inside and outside, driven by the nature of the space and project. We take many factors into account, including orientation to the sun, daylight exposure, landscape, lighting, view, wind and rain. If we’re involved in the early planning stages, we can influence the placement of rooms and their outlook, and whether they have a panoramic or a framed view…

Glamour, colour and pattern come together in Matthew Williamson’s work— whether he’s creating ball gowns full of flair or bright and bold wallpapers, his signature style shines through. His designs are vibrant and eyecatching, yet always tasteful. He walks the line between refinement and flamboyance perfectly; never overstepping the mark. These hallmarks of the British fashion designer’s work have brought him considerable success since he founded his fashion house in 1997, and he is now translating his style into interiors, having debuted a line of wallpapers and fabrics for Osborne & Little in 2013. His fourth collection for them, Durbar, launched this autumn. Now he is moving into upholstery—a natural progression that has seen him produce a range of elegant yet playful home furniture in collaboration with Duresta. Duresta for…

WIRELESS HOTSPOT

The understated opulence and craftsmanship of 98 Wireless quietly whispers luxury. In fact, standing outside on the tree-lined boulevard that the residential project takes its name from, you could be forgiven for thinking you were on the Upper East Side of Manhattan rather than in central Bangkok. Developed by Sansiri, the 25-storey building was designed in the grand Beaux-Arts architectural style that is famous to New York (think Grand Central Terminal with its crown mouldings, striking proportions, space and symmetry). And in true Beaux-Arts style, it is built from natural materials with a focus on traditional craftsmanship—solid white-oak herringbone floors, rare mahogany door panels, limestone facades and white marble slabs handpicked from a quarry in Italy. It’s the work of creative architecture firm DWP (Design World Partnership), interior designer Anne…

WIRELESS HOTSPOT

Designed and styled exclusively by Anne Carson, each of the four show units at 98 Wireless draws on a different Ralph Lauren Home collection. “So, even though they are all the same two-bedroom unit, each is completely different and exclusive to whoever buys it,” explains Carson. She describes her style as a “polished modern-day vision of classic elegance and glamour with an exacting attention to detail.” And she was perhaps the ideal woman for this collaboration—Carson is certainly familiar with Ralph Lauren Home, having spent more than a decade working with the brand designing and installing showrooms around the world. The first of the four units to be showcased is Apartment No. One. It’s styled with a collection of the same name that takes its inspiration from Kate Middleton and…

WALKING ON SUNSHINE

Perched at the northern end of Repulse Bay, Kelly Lo’s two-storey beachfront home boasts a million-dollar view of the South China Sea. So it’s no wonder that Lo and her husband, Kingston Chu, chose to draw this vista into their home with a warm and sunny design. In a nod to her Californian roots—Lo was born in Los Angeles—the couple describe this aesthetic as “Sunsets over the Pacific,” and used it to guide the design process. “When you think of sunset colours, you think of orange, red, magenta—the whole range of orange to deep purples,” she says. “That’s where we got our inspiration.” Lo is the founder and creative director of Kelly Lo Design, whose clients include two hotels in Macau and luxury watch brand Frank Muller Asia, of which…

WEEKEND GETAWAY

As the president and chief creative officer of Kate Spade New York, a fashion brand that is the epitome of all things girlie and fun, Deborah Lloyd’s typical workweek is an incredibly busy one. So come the weekend, she likes nothing better than to escape from Manhattan and head to her second home in Sullivan County, upstate New York—a modern, light-filled house with views of the mountains and a lake. The house features a clean, box-like architectural design, an aesthetic that is mirrored by the predominantly mid-century style of the interior. “I love the mid-century modern look. They are design classics and the secret is in their name—there is a modernity to them that looks timeless,” says Lloyd. “I like it for the upstate home because the clean, unfussy lines…

WEEKEND GETAWAY

Off the Beaten Track

THE HERON, NARROWSBURG It’s opposite the Nest and it’s where I go for brunch. It’s one of the places where you never quite know who you will be sitting next to—you look around and all of a sudden you’ll spot a celebrity. They do a mean Bloody Mary that will blow any cobwebs away. CHURCHILL CLASSIC CARS, ELDRED A super trendy car showroom that is good for the man in your life. It’s done as a boy’s playroom with cars and books and motorbikes—an amazing showroom. NEST, NARROWSBURG It’s a store for beautiful home products—they have vintage furniture, lovely cashmere throws, jewellery and more. The owner has an incredible eye and it’s a destination store that I’ll drive half an hour to get to on a rainy Saturday afternoon BARRYVILLE…

Off the Beaten Track

Art direction may lau Styling jo lorenz Often, the design process starts with an initial concept, then moves onto mood boards before beginning renovations and finally choosing all the right furnishings to fill the new and improved space. In this Pok Fu Lam apartment, however, the interiors were conceived around the owner’s artful furnishings first. “The homeowner met Taiwanese artist Hsu Wei-bin; they collaborated on the look of the apartment together,” says pPlusP Designers founder Wesley Liu, who was invited to see the artist’s collection and visit the artist’s home in Taiwan to further understand the look and feel. “I worked with Hsu on the walls and ceiling design, the layout, the feeling… He makes furniture that’s of a certain style, and I designed an interior that fits his works.”…

RETREAT IN STYLE

You’ve got a holiday on the horizon, but should you stay at a hotel or rent a villa? Sure, a hotel offers every amenity and comfort you could wish for, but there is something alluring about the privacy and charm of a villa. Happily for anyone headed to Phuket, The Residences by Anantara manages to combine the best of both worlds. The luxury residential development overlooks the breathtaking Layan Beach on the northwest coast of the Thai island and is the work of the late Jaya Ibrahim of Jaya International Design. It is something of a masterpiece—or should we say 15 masterpieces? That’s the number of separate pool villas that make up The Residences. The villas are designed to give guests total privacy to enjoy the sweeping views of the…

RETREAT IN STYLE

It’s one thing to design a home for an elite businessman, but it’s quite another when that executive happens to be the owner of a highfashion garment manufacturing company. The owner of the house, located in an upscale property complex in Guangzhou, knew exactly what he wanted: an eco-friendly home that bucked trends and offered ample space to unwind, entertain colleagues and reconnect with nature. That’s where Clifton Leung Design Workshop came in. The Hong Kong-based design house worked on the Guangzhou home for five years in order to create an innovative abode that embodies the client’s penchant for design and his globetrotting lifestyle. Inspired by the French concept of espace, Leung designed an interconnected atmosphere that integrates the minimalistic sophistication of an art gallery with the warmth of a…

To the design lover, a home is far more than the sum of four walls and a roof: this selection of four striking residences from around the world demonstrate the power of an architectural vision to elevate the space to another plane. Each project in its own way draws from its environment—either natural or built—to fit in with its surroundings and make a clear, bold statement at the same time, whether that’s in the trendy streets of London’s Fitzrovia or the sun-drenched hills of California’s Monterey Peninsula. ARTISAN While central Paris is a thoroughly planned 19th-century urban utopia, and Hong Kong a city of skyscrapers, London is more of an architectural mishmash. Elegant Christopher Wren churches vie for attention with brutalist concrete blocks and contemporary steel-andglass giants. So when architectural…

MY FAVOURITE THINGS

Favourite area at home? It depends on the time of the day but I would say our drawing room—it’s an open space with high ceilings so it’s a great space to eat, work and relax. I love having lots of space around me. Favourite cities? There are many cities that I love for different reasons but Shanghai in particular because it’s an energetic city where the worlds of business, fashion and art mix together. It never stops changing for the best and that’s very inspiring. Another city is Los Angeles—it is a sophisticated place with an artsy-cool vibe to it. Favourite hotels? I love the elegance and comfort of the Park Hyatt and Four Seasons hotels. However, I also like boutique hotels such as La Suite West in London, which…
