Bizhouse “Live+Work Apartments” “We successfully revitalised a Tong Lau into work-from-home units. The design allows users to work productively by day, and easily transform the space into a comfy home by night, whilst ensuring a spacious, elegant and simple feel.” - Kenny Kinugasa-Tsui, co-founder of Bean Buro “Our concept was to create a calm ‘oasis’ in the busy urban fabric. We created white, simple and generous internal spaces in contrast with the buzzing and dense neighbourhood.” - Lorène Faure, founder of Bean Buro.” - Lorène Faure, co-founder of Bean Buro The Brief: A revitalised building for contemporary Live+Work The design brief was to transform a Tong Lau (a term for mid-20th century buildings in Hong Kong) of over five floors and a roof terrace, into twelve units of flexible live & work apartments that are comfortable, elegant and fresh. Across the world, there has been a rise in work-from-home culture. This phenomenon is even more apparent in the Coronavirus crisis, where many people must work from home only to realise that their home is not adequately equipped for working. Our client came to us for our expertise in creative workplaces and residential designs, to bring the best of both worlds into one innovative design solution. The Process: Integrating a building with tranquil lifestyles into a buzzing urban fabric What is considered to be home in this day and age? How do you keep your work clutter away, and create a sense of calmness and tranquillity when you need to relax? You don’t want to live in a stressful office space, and you can’t work productively from home — so what do you do? The driving force for our design was derived from such questioning, where we proposed to not only blur the boundary between living and working but to also find a new balance between functionality and beauty. The concept was to create a building of apartments that can fully support productive working by day, and can be easily transformed into a restful living space by night. The neighbourhood of Causeway Bay is fast-paced, convenient, sociable, and energetic. It offers a diversity of shops and restaurants. The building would integrate itself into the urban fabric; responding to its needs for flexibility and convenience, as well as calmness and softness — a much-needed oasis in the buzzing city. The building offers privacy for users to live and work peacefully in a vibrant neighbourhood comfortably. Users can enjoy all the privacy in the apartments while being just a lift ride away from all sorts of traditional and modern offerings in the neighbourhood on street level. The Solution: Generous spaces for multifunctional activities We explored the full architectural potential of the Tong Lau building, which inherently offered highly efficient internal floor area. We wanted the apartments to feel spacious, open and generous - which, in our opinion, is what conveys a sense of luxury to the users. The main idea was to create a generous open space in each apartment where a multitude of activities can happen. Key design features inside the apartments include: • A fold-down bed, which can be easily tucked away during the day to maximise the floor area. • A movable and extendable table that transforms from a desk to a dining table to a large collaboration table that caters for group meetings. • A portable custom sofa on wheels that can be stored away inside a wardrobe, and otherwise used to support gatherings or as a comfortable sofa to relax. • Acoustic pin-up walls for creative thinking, as well as peg walls for the user to curate their work, hobbies, decorations. • In some units, concealed sliding doors that can partition the open space into smaller spaces for simultaneous activities. • The open space can be used for home exercise such as yoga. • Each apartment also features its own enclosed kitchen, work bar, and washroom. A sense of community in a ‘live+work hub’ We envisioned for all common spaces of the building to be devoted to social activities and to promote a sense of community as a ‘live+work hub’. The ground floor lift lobby contains a large signage board for each resident to display their identity, with a guest waiting lobby. On each floor, the lift corridor is kept minimalistic and fresh. Each apartment’s door is a writable surface where users can leave messages for others. Residents can also access and borrow shared amenities of stacked loose stools for conducting group meetings inside their apartments. The roof terrace is refurbished with outdoor decking with subtle lighting and gardening, where users can enjoy social gatherings in the day or night, overlooking other rooftops in the neighbourhood. This project is a pioneer in transforming a dated existing building into the most functionally adept building in responding to the way we all live and work today.
