Little wonder that architecture and design in Hong Kong is known around the world, and its brightest minds have begun to leave their mark on some of the most beautiful buildings and interiors elsewhere in Asia and beyond. While their styles vary widely, Hong Kong’s leading architects and interior designers seem to have some commonalities: there is a shared focus on sustainability, a drive for constant innovation and a fluency in the language of comfort and luxury.

André Fu , founder, André Fu Design
Designer André Fu skyrocketed to prominence with the success of Hong Kong’s Upper House Hotel in 2009, despite being a young designer with a small studio who lacked hospitality experience at the time. His signature style, a blend of comfort-forward minimalism and elegance, established him among the elite in high-end design, with a portfolio that now includes luxury hotels like Kerry Hotel, St Regis, Fullerton Bay, Andaz, and Waldorf Astoria, showcasing his ability to create spaces that exude a sense of tranquility. Fu’s résumé now includes collaborations with Louis Vuitton, significant contributions to the Hong Kong Palace Museum, and his own brand, André Fu Living, all of which underline his multifaceted impact on the design landscape.
