Hong Kong Grand Garden: A Modern and Minimalist Residential Apartment

Designer: Darren Au-Yeung

In the bustling city of Hong Kong, where space is a luxury, Darren Au-Yeung, a renowned designer, took on the challenge of transforming a small apartment into a stylish and functional living space. The Hong Kong Grand Garden project, located in Sai Wan Ho, Hong Kong, showcases Darren's expertise in creating innovative designs that maximize space and enhance the overall living experience.

One of the key considerations in this project was the proportion of the space planning, particularly in the open kitchen and living areas. Darren meticulously designed the layout to ensure a seamless flow between these spaces, allowing for easy movement and interaction. To optimize space utilization, a foldable dining table was incorporated into a full-height cabinet, providing flexibility for dining and saving valuable floor space.

Storage was another top priority for the client, and Darren ingeniously integrated storage solutions throughout the apartment. A built-in TV cabinet was utilized as a slim partition, separating the living area from the bedrooms while also serving as a storage unit. Loft beds were designed for all bedrooms, creating additional storage space underneath and maximizing the vertical dimension of the apartment.

Embracing the concept of smart living, Darren incorporated automated circadian lighting and climate control systems into the apartment. These features not only enhance the overall comfort and convenience but also contribute to energy efficiency and sustainability.

The Hong Kong Grand Garden project, spanning 930 sq.ft., showcases Darren Au-Yeung's ability to transform small spaces into functional and aesthetically pleasing environments. With his attention to detail, innovative storage solutions, and incorporation of smart technologies, Darren has created a modern and minimalist residential apartment that meets the unique needs of the client while maximizing the available space.

Acknowledging his exceptional design skills, the Hong Kong Grand Garden project was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design category in 2018. This prestigious accolade recognizes Darren Au-Yeung's creative ingenuity and his contribution to improving the quality of life through art, science, design, and technology.
