Riviera Residential Building | Lagranja Design

Lagranja Design continues its working relationship with Hip Shing Hong Estate Agent Company. This time lagranja has designed different spaces of a residential building located in the Shau Kei Wan district (a historic fishing quarter near to Victoria Harbour). Starting our intervention in the façade, colour has been endowed to this 29th-floor tower by a chromatic degradation in the lower area of the balconies. And by illuminating this exterior area, a dynamic image to the façade has been provided. The lobby is located in the ground floor of the building. Bevelled mirrors units have been chosen to cover the ceiling and the upper walls of this double-height space. Thus an attractive spaciousness perception is achieved. The lower area of the walls has been covered with different whitenedwood units placed on a coloured background. The natural stone flooring has been finished with a recessed skirting board of the same material. Skimming light over the skirting confers lightness to the covering. Huge suspended sculptures that remind marine buoys complete the design of this area. In the first floor we have carried out the interior design of the space destined to be the gym. The orange flooring and the dropped ceiling made of mirror units stand out in this storey. The second floor of the building has been conceived as an outdoors recreation area therefore it has allowed giving free rein to our designers’ creative imagination. They have created a ludic space that reproduces the marine world of the zone. Colourful “flying” lobsters dominate the space. The flooring has been resolved in a black and white draughtboard pattern. The already existent pillars and concrete beams have been painted dark grey so the sculptures of lobsters and the hanging buoys are outlined over this neutral background along with the lush vegetation that surrounds the building. The corridor of each floor of apartments has been designed in relation with the respective colour of the degradation used in the façade. That colour is applied to a hanging tapestry, to the wallcovering, and to the graphic designs of the doors. The flooring is made of natural stone. Rectangular beech wood units covered the wall where the lifts are whereas, in the opposite wall, vertical strips (triangular base prisms) have been arranged: one of the faces in wood and the other in the assigned colour of the corridor. Consequently, the space transforms depending on the observer’s point of view. A carefully interior design has been accomplished in the duplex apartment of the top floor. Wooden, fabric and mirror coverings have been chosen in order to continue with the use of warm and colourful materials. This living space contains furniture harmonically selected and a dyed wooden mosaic as a dropped ceiling stands out in the living room.
