In search of an authentic, exciting, and singular identity mandated by Rykadan Capital’s Owner for their new Head Quarters in Wang Chuk Hang, we turned to Hong Kong for inspiration - it’s spectacular setting, distinct neighborhoods, its icons and personalities.
The idea emerged that the new HQ Tower is a character, one of the diverse personalities that make up Hong Kong’s dynamic skyline, one infused with the soul of a Cultural Ambassador, inside and out.
While the exterior is treated as an art installation, revealing different aspects with changing direction and light for the observer, the interior would project the generous hospitality and warmth of the well-traveled Cultural Ambassador, a welcoming haven showcasing an eclectic mix of textures and materials, commissioned art, and found objects that delight and create a shared sense of community.
