⇨ The design
In keeping with his previous K11 developments, Cheng has infused the project with a combination of world-class design, as well as Chinese art and craftsmanship. The entrepreneur tapped an all-star line-up of design talents to bring K11 Artus to life, including homegrown heavyweight André Fu, who previously designed Galerie Perrotin, the Agnes B flagship store in IFC, and Akira Back in Seoul.
The two-storey Social Salon, designed by Fu, is a beautiful mixed-use space designed for rest, work, and entertainment, with a look that’s similar to how we’d picture a twentieth-century explorer’s library—spiral staircase and all. The majority of the rooms were also overseen by Fu, whose neutral-toned palette and understated urban design is accented by colourful Guangcai (Canton enamel porcelain), and quite often panoramic harbour views from the curved balconies.
Meanwhile, each of the three 3,000-square-feet penthouses bears a distinct style, from New York design studio Nemaworkshop’s bold Hong Kong-inspired look to Fiona Barratt-Campbell’s opulent marble- and crystal-encrusted space and Joyce Wang’s quietly eclectic Art Deco-influenced residence.
