PREMIUM DESIGN SERVICES TO COMBINE AESTHETIC WITH FUNCTIONALITY

With Nison Chan, the interior veteran and creative spirit behind many of Hong Kong’s most enchanting and modern places at the helm, Archikris Design is bound to yet another successful year, retaining its throne for the Interior Design award. Chan’s achievement holds great significance considering that this was the 15‑consecutive year for him to stay on top of the game.

Archikris Design ‑ the mother company of residential practice Zchron Design and commercial arm Krisveman Design ‑ is known for its exquisite craftsmanship and well through‑out details that never lose sight of a client’s character. Chan said the firm focuses on bringing professionalism to luxury interior design, specialising mainly in high‑end residences, office premises and retail shops. He believes a top level of design service and professionalism bolstered by refined materials, are elements that have distinguished the firm as a leader in the industry.

“An interior project usually involves several parties, including design firm and contractor, but we offer a two‑in‑one integrated team that includes designers, architects and contractors to deliver a streamlined process. From design brief to completion and handover, our clients enjoy a one‑stop, care‑free service. The team has a shared desire to embrace projects and to redefine the design‑ build concept along the way.”

Chan’s glamourous and prestigious design, exemplified in a handful of stunning luxury residential and commercial projects for the likes of Escada, Max Mara, Carlsberg, Leica and the Hong Kong Institute of Bankers, contribute to an unerring and thoughtful sense of art and unique interpretation of space that feels open and timeless, and it earns him the respect of interior designers from around the world, including Max Mara, which invited Chan to attended a one‑week visit at the headquarter of the leading Italian fashion house. These idea exchange activities he participates in Paris, Italy and all of the world, his hunger in absorbing the latest trends from around the world, together with his 25 years of solid experiences and extensive network in the interior field, may be the secret to Archikris’ distinct premium designs in striking perfect balance between aesthetic and functionality, Chan admits.

“Clients in Hong Kong are increasingly looking for quality craftsmanship, subtle luxury, design innovation and modern elegance, and it takes a lot of coordination and attention to details to achieve the perfect work. To stay ahead in the interior design market, we have to make sure that we are responding in our work
