Ian Schrager's banquet hotel

I am always put my eyes on banquet hotel, especially on some hotel owner has design taste like Ian Schrager and Candy and Candy Group. Maybe smaller size hotel is easily to put our design concept into, so this is the reason I am looking for...

Does Modern design come from classical form?

I like simplicity and clean shape of the design, also like richness from details. I believe I should simplify the classical form to my design instead of purely modern. Nowadys, we are doing one Macau hotel with the notion of "asian heart", which we bring extremly bright and fresh color into the space but inlay some beautiful and linear dark wood and leather. For me, asian heart might not be seen, but can feel. So we creat western looking with little asian elements...maybe only 10%.

Penisula hotel is bloody classical colonial Asian style hotel, also has been ranged toppest hotel in Asian market. Our company has done HK, Toyko, New York and Shanghai Penisula hotel spa area interior design. Tne new opening Shanghai hotel inherit penisula hotel's key charactors, present a twist of western and eastern culture.

carlo scarpa change my mind

No hesitation to be big fan of Italian giant and architect Carlo Scapa, although he is dead many years ago.His used to follow Mr.wright and Kan, then get his own design language.His main work is almost regenerate old building in remote area, so you can smell this artist really fall in love with culture.

Reading his work, we should focus on details, which indicate timeless beauty.
