HOK CHUI

INTERIOR

Nestled within the historic embrace of a Dutch colonial-era house, Hokchui emerges as an exquisite dim sum haven, where the charm of the past converges seamlessly with present-day allure. Embarking on a visionary journey, we conceived a design narrative intertwined with the brand's imaginative tale. Here, the homeowner transforms into the storyteller of an exquisite dim sum haven, bringing to life a culinary saga within the walls of the residence. Hence, the challenge lay in crafting a design that seamlessly invited individuals to experience a sense of familiarity akin to visiting an acquaintance's house.

Our endeavour aimed to safeguard the inherent heritage essence of the building, harmonising with the brand narrative. The design seamlessly integrated with the distinctive Dutch-colonial architectural features, accentuating the engaging yellow-painted main door and installing wall panelling, enriched with a thoughtful infusion of Chinese decorative elements and hues. We chose refurbished vintage stools and tables as furniture supporting the activities. Opting for a design transformation, the decision to replace the tabletop with a green-bluish laminate material seamlessly fused with wood, imbuing the space with a dynamic vibrancy and distinctive character.
