A modern and chic designer apartment in an old Hong Kong block. While it was a completely new renovation, we kept the original floor and windows to retain some of the memory.
High contrast black, white and bronze colours were bold design statements chosen to complement the vintage theme.

Concept: Nostalgia / Evolution / Future
Scope: Full Scope Design
Natural is Best is an established snack food retailer with dozens of stores located throughout Hong Kong and China. Metagram was engaged to design an outlet for a small snack shop space located in the Peak Galleria, Hong Kong.
Metagram proposed a design inspired by the famous Peak Tram, creating a symmetrical design with the distinctive timber framing used in the early tram designs from many decades past. The framing, in an eye-catching brilliant orange - one of the company's corporate colours - incorporates modular shelving and storage, also reminiscent of the windows and paneling of the Peak trams. Finger tiles and a terrazzo style flooring, while not actually specific vintage materials, evoke abstract memories of old Hong Kong.
The tram reference and carefully selected materials act together to create a feeling of nostalgia but with a forward thinking, contemporary interpretation - a concept synonymous with Natural is Best, a well-established, home-grown brand, selling snacks and treats common place during the childhoods of many Hong Kong raised and for future generations yet to come.
