Interviews with Fusion Design Limited

Our main focus is to create a striking glasshouse which combined luxury and natural element. It provides a wide variety of facilities meeting different target users' needs. Every single area presents a great user-experience by each attentive design. As one enters into the clubhouse, one’s eyes are directed to the soaring eight-meter high ceiling. Overhead, the gold-flecked chandelier references the soaring high ceiling as well as its grandiose architecture. Tucked away at the back of the staircase, an all-day dining area is suffused with references to nature.

I would like to continue designing more similar projects in the future by promoting this award-winning project in our web site and newsletter.

It takes around one year to finalize the whole design. We had the opportunity to present a few creative concepts, and after feedback, collectively decided on a design that fulfilled the budget, style, and branding needs.

The client envisioned a luxurious yet modern clubhouse that can at once be a place where residents relax, work up and sweat, host a banquet and mingle with friends and family. As designers, we’re always mindful of the client’s design brief and budget, but equally crucial was devising a design that meets the client’s needs.

This design has been adopted and built by my client last year.

As requested by the client.

We work as a team so there are other designers’ inputs.

The end users of the clubhouse who are living in this residential development.

With a total area of approximately 35,000 square feet, the clubhouse provides more than 32 indoor and 21 outdoor facilities for the residents to enjoy. Designed from a people-oriented perspective, the facilities fall into three themes: lifestyle facilities for ‘Leisurely Moments’, family facilities for ‘Fun-loving Moments’, and health facilities for ‘Rejuvenating Moments’. Together they satisfy the needs of the body, mind, and soul of residents for all ages and make the design unique.

Vibe Centro is named by our client and means smack dab in the heart of the Kai Tak.

Boasting 32 facilities, the Vibe Centro clubhouse is vast. The most unique aspect and challenge was to design individual rooms so that each fits its primary function, while ensuring continuity throughout the clubhouse.

We work with other professionals like architect, M&E consultant, lighting consultant etc.

The indoor cycling race

We didn’t carry out any research for this design.

One of the interesting challenges was to design individual rooms so that each fits its primary function, while ensuring continuity throughout the clubhouse. To achieve this, warm, earthy tones are used throughout the clubhouse, with pops of colours added to spaces that encourage interaction.

As our company offers a full service package from design and build to procurement services and our dedicated team of professionals include talented experts in interior design, marketing, client servicing, project management and construction. We frequently submit outstanding completed projects to apply international awards to promote our brand.

Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.

Fusion Design Ltd was established in the early 90s, initially set up to provide exceptional interior design solutions to high-end commercial projects for the renowned property developers in Hong Kong.

Design in my sense is people-oriented, to create something which people like and benefit from it. Uniqueness and functionality are important elements.

Residence and Clubhouse.

Morpheus, Macau is my most favorite design. Its first free-form high-rise exoskeleton outlook impressed me deeply. It also combines structural integrity and sculptural form into the design.

A big show house in China.

My favorite material is timber. I like its naturalness that caters to people-oriented design.

The infinity swimming pool at Vibe Centro Clubhouse combined indoor and outdoor design which created an outstanding view.

Spacing and functionality are most important due to the environmental limitation in Hong Kong.

I feel relaxed and satisfied.

I am happy and excited.

Teamwork as we need different insights to produce a successful design.

Customer satisfaction is my first concern especially for residential project.

Designer should fully utilize all the areas and reduce any form of waste causing pollution to the environment. At the same time, they should apply more environmental-friendly products.

It is becoming more sustainable. More and more technology like light control system and eco-friendly materials will be applied.

My design inspiration comes from experience and appreciation from travelling around the world. Sources of inspirations are mainly from figuring out the pros and cons of the artworks.

Modern luxury. I used to create uniqueness and valuable design.

Hong Kong. Yes. There are space and resources limitations in Hong Kong, so it is necessary to provide functional and personalized design. Although not all designs could be applied in Hong Kong, uniqueness will be created.

By frequent meetings, email communications and presentations to understand their needs and requirement and provide various revisions.

Give clear briefing and less limitation to designer. By browsing their web site or portfolio initially and then interview with them to see if they are good match. Word of mouth or reviews are important too.

It starts with a design brief provided by client which help designer to capture ideas and understand clients’ preferences. After that, we will work on floor plan, mood board and design proposal.

Bed, dining table, sofa, kitchen and bathroom.

I am always having a work-life balance day in order to increase engagement and bring out creative ideas.

Technology plays an important role in the future of interior design. Designer would be encouraged to use more eco-friendly materials, such as artificial stone instead of marble.

Design is subjective and client’s satisfaction would be the pro of being a designer. However, long working hours is the negative side.

Design should focus on people’s needs, raising awareness on social sustainability.

Understanding the need of clients and addressing their needs.

AutoCAD, 3D Max and Photoshop

Well-thought, well-organized and well-planned.

3 to 6 months.

What kind of problem can you foresee for this design?

Vibe Centro Clubhouse

Renowned property developers in Hong Kong

Residential projects

I will keep on working on more people-oriented designs and creating luxurious environments for prestigious residential developments and celebrity homes.

Usually I develop the conceptual design on my own but will work as a team at a later stage.

Not at this moment.
