About Le Utopia Residential

One major feature of the design is a mega image of the iconic Big Ben of the entrance. It adorns the space with a sense of leisure. The use of gentle stone grey as the design's theme colour is a rich resonance with the natural scenery outside.

Design Details

Unique Properties
The design strikes a balance between practical functions and aesthetics. It makes up deficiencies of original layout and makes the best use of space to meet the needs of daily life. Versatile design techniques create an interesting and unique style, offering a special visual gradient. It unites outdoor scenery with interior design. A careful combination of different furnishing materials and ornaments serves to differentiate each functional area in a subtle way.
Inspiration
Design originates from life, while design shapes life. Overall design presents a modern and warm ambience. It integrates common belief and needs of the family members. An artful portrait of London marking their happy moments becomes a sliding screen door for the cabinet. The design integrates a wide-angle of open vision. Natural colours and pattern echo nature. The use of different materials provides a dynamic shift of moods and visual effects to cater to the preferences of each family member.
Realization and Technology
The design adopts only healthy and eco-friendly environment materials. Premium materials meeting the most stringent international quality requirements are used. They are all VOC and asbestos-free, with extremely low formaldehyde level, less than the content in apples and cabbages. An advanced heat exchange system is introduced to maximize air convection and let in fresh air to maintain a high indoor oxygen level. To ensure the best results, it took nearly two years from design to completion.
Project Duration and Location
The project started in May 2018 in Hong Kong SAR, China and finished in February 2020.
