DESIGN & BUILD

Indigo’s latest home project was to renovate, design and style a luxe 1,400 sq ft, 3 bedroom apartment in the prestigious Mid-Levels, Hong Kong district. We sat down with Elf Chow, Indigo’s Interior Design Manager to discuss the design inspiration behind this 6 month project

Their overall design inspiration was to recreate that chic, relaxed, boutique hotel style comfort and class in a cosy, home setting. With this in mind they focussed on a variety of different wood veneers and textiles and contrasted this with slim, elegant metal accents to create that sleek, boutique hotel vibe.

What was the design brief from your client?

Mr and Mrs Choy had a very clear design industrial design direction for their home. Whilst not our usual “Indigo” look, our Indigo Design Team are both flexible and creative. Our projects are never limited by our Indigo look and as part of the Design team it is important that we work with our clients to deliver the style that they’re looking for.

What was your design inspiration?

While Mr and Mrs Choy knew they wanted an industrial look, it was also key to ensure their home wasn’t too raw and cold. The Design Team took this into consideration and toned down some raw elements by adding modern touches, accents and natural materials which created balance and a softness to the space.

Can you tell us a bit about some of the key features?

The multifunctional room is a highlight. It can be transparent while the owner is working and opens up the space for working from home and can be fully opened up to create one large space when entertaining at home. Using interior lines we were able to frame and differentiate various living spaces yet unite them all for continuity by having the ceiling feature connect them all.

What was the most challenging part of the project for you?

The space had a very low ceiling, which made the space feel smaller than it should. It was thus, important then for us to extend that spatial feeling horizontally instead of vertically. Our solution was to have a wooden ceiling extend all the way through into the multifunctional room. This also helped to balance the darker elements with some light space and transparency in order to help the space breathe.

What was your favourite part of the project?

The Client – Mr and Mrs Choy ! They had a clear direction but were also very open to new ideas which allowed us to provide the best solution for them.

“We hired INDIGO to handle an extensive interior remodelling of our house. INDIGO made an anticipated stressful process into an enjoyable experience for our family, INDIGO has differentiated itself from typical designers or furniture houses by offering a one-stop, full spectrum lifestyle, home decor service. INDIGO didn’t just read and understand our expectations, they more importantly, combined high level professionalism and personal home decor services to make us a dream home!

It has been a wonderful experience from the moment we walked into the INDIGO office and saw our rednerings to the moment when Cliff and Elf (our account manager and designer, respectively) handed over the keys to our new home. They were willing to listen, were responsive and passionate, and offered excellent design ideas. We are absolutely THRILLED with their work!”
