Night time at Townplace Pier #newofficeworks #townplacepier #cheungshawanpier

Harbor Reflections: The pier canopy along Hong Kong’s Cheung Sha Wan promenade serves as a unique connector between modern developments and the industrial ambiance of the wholesale food market nearby. The canopy sits within a broader waterfront revitalization, with pathways leading to the MTR station, a residential courtyard, and an adjacent housing complex, integrating it back into the urban fabric. Inspired by the historic movement of boats docking along the pier, the canopy design references the informal pattern of cargo activity. Its structure comprises five staggered roof strips, creating dynamic spaces underneath. The varying roof levels enhance passive cooling and ventilation while allowing light to filter through, creating a play of light and shadow during the day, and a striking illuminated silhouette at night. Constructed with steel columns and curved beams, the canopy features a stepped roof profile. The lower roof is suspended from the higher sections via rods, creating an open, layered effect. A standing seam roof enhances its form, while satin aluminum ceiling panels reflect the harbor’s rippling water, adding to the space's fluidity and sense of movement.

NOW is thrilled to be a part of the recently opened @thetwinshongkong at Kai Tak, home to the new flagship @sogohongkong . Situated in Tower I, the site features a long escalator that connects a striking triple-height atrium on the 10th floor to the Restaurant Park on the 12th floor. The design aims to transform this area into an immersive experience that transports visitors from the typical department store environment to an Engawa-inspired setting, inviting them to navigate through a space that evokes the impression of being inside a lantern. Adjacent to the atrium is TT SITE, a 25,000 sq ft multipurpose and exhibition space that we have also designed and is currently under construction. 📷 @frontality___ #newofficeworks #thetwinshongkong #sogohongkong

Choreographed movement through the duplex above heightens the sense of prospect and refuge. You step through the front door into an endosed vestibule and find yourself facing an art piece that is the spiral staircase. Go through a side door and you are suddenly transported to a walkway and garden. “Hidden in this nature is my bed,” says Allan Poh, co-founder of Finnish mineral water company JÄÄDE. My story about this unique Hainan holiday house - and its inspired, inverted layout - is in @scmp_postmag today. Design: @newofficeworks 🙌🏾

An elevated playscape transforms the recreational space at Chongwen Kindergarten. Located in Shenzhen's Nanshan District, the raised loop creates its own enclosure while threading together the entrance, the semi-open ground floor, and the pyramid climbing structure below — a courtyard defined by movement. Every arc was drawn with care, tracing the canopies of existing trees so they sit within the architecture rather than around it. Children run the loop, climb through it, and play beneath it — three modes of engagement from a single move. #shenzhen #kindergartendesign #playscape #architecturaldesign #newofficeworks

Beyond the plate, the space at le le tells a story: the dining room features calm black and grey tones as a muted backdrop, allowing vibrant accents to shine: handcrafted ceramics, indigo-dyed fabrics, and textile montages by Vietnamese artisans. This deliberate partnership with local talent New Office Works—extending the spotlight beyond the kitchen—mirrors ZS Hospitality Group’s core mission of providing platforms for young talents and rising creatives to gain international recognition, creating a warm, playful, and deeply cozy atmosphere—a true home away from home. 除了精緻佳餚，le le 的空間設計同樣別具匠心：用餐區以沉穩的黑灰色調作為柔和背景，襯托出由越南工匠精心製作的手工陶瓷、藍染布料及紡織拼貼畫，令每一處裝飾細節都煥發活力。 我們特別邀請本地建築設計團隊 New Office Works 操刀，將聚光燈從廚房延伸至藝術建築領域，完美呼應灶神集團的核心使命：為年輕人才與新興創作者提供躍上國際舞台的機會。 這一切為餐廳營造出溫暖、趣味且舒適的氛圍，成就一個真正的「家外之家」。

Grateful to be featured by Monocle magazine in their “Ten Top Studios” roundup highlighting Hong Kong’s vibrant design scene! This feature wouldn’t be possible without our incredible team — whose creativity, dedication, and fresh perspectives bring every project to life. From timber pavilions inspired by Hong Kong’s narrow alleyways and hilly terrain to transforming a disused pier into a beloved public space, we’re proud of the work we create together. A huge thank you to Monocle for recognizing New Office Works as one of the city’s globally minded creative studios. It’s an honour to be included alongside such inspiring talents, both local and international, pushing the boundaries of architecture, interiors, and design in Hong Kong and beyond.

Wellington Office transforms the workspace into a warm and human-centered environment through the thoughtful use of materials and custom-built elements. Bespoke curved workstations, a reception counter with fluted detailing, and integrated bench seating are all finished in light oak veneer. Frosted glass partitions allow natural light to flow freely between areas. Semi-private workstations along the main corridor carefully balance openness and privacy while encouraging spontaneous discussions. A large circular frosted-glass opening frames an intimate bench alcove, creating a welcoming entrance. Practical needs are addressed with ample built-in storage integrated seamlessly into the joinery, ensuring functionality without compromising the clean, cohesive aesthetic. 📷 @frontality___

Bustling day at Townplace Pier! Sham Coffee Fair turned this waterfront spot into pure magic—people, puppies, brews, and that unbeatable harbour view. Kudos to the #Townplace team and everyone involved! #TownplacePier #ShamCoffeeFair #HongKongWaterfront”#newofficeworks

Great amenities don’t just add value — they set a development apart. Above Kai Tak, a curved stone staircase connects two floors of curated living. Tea room, yoga studio, reading nook — each space its own island, woven into one fluid landscape of green walls and sculpted stone. From structural complexity to material precision, every detail held from concept to the moment residents arrive. Cullinan Sky — Sky Garden & Lounge, Kai Tak.

In a high-density city like Hong Kong, greenery is often compressed. The “nature” that people crave in daily life is not necessarily vast forests, but a reconnection between people and their surroundings. We designed numerous details using natural materials that play with texture and temperature: walls interweave rough-hewn stone with smooth polished stone, brick, and metal; handrails combine patinated bronze with cool, light-colored stone; and flooring lines subtly suggest flowing movement. Light glides along these curved and textured surfaces, so that throughout the day, shifting light and shadow become the living language of the space. We deliberately blurred the boundary between “indoor” and “outdoor”: seating areas are enveloped by lush planting, the open kitchen flows into a long communal table, and people can enjoy a cup of tea, cook, or read in the garden while children play just a few steps away. 📷 @commonstudio #newofficeworks #cullinansky #clubhouse #skygarden #天璽天 #天璽天設計 #啟德

The Club House and Sky Garden at Cullinan Sky Kai Tak form a series of activity islands scattered across an organic, fluid landscape. Spanning 24,000 square feet, the design goes beyond simply offering “greenery in the sky”; it creates a true piece of nature that is activated by daily life. 📷 @commonstudio #newofficeworks #cullinansky #clubhouse #skygarden #天璽天 #天璽天設計 #啟德
