About The Manliness Attitude Residential Interior Design
The Manliness Attitude is a residential interior design completed in Hong Kong in 2019. The home was planned for a resident who works in the financial industry from home and lives with a dog. White walls finished in eco paint leave open space for an art collection. Wood, stone, black chrome stainless steel and wrought iron add texture, while grey, brown and black form a consistent colour scheme. A work area adjoins the living room and can be separated by a glass door. Laminated stone-like surfaces suit the humid mountain setting.
