Designer Interview
5 May 2020
I have been working in the interior design industry for more than 20 years after I attained my higher diploma in this specific field. I am passionate in interior design since I was young as I want to create a better living place for people.
Fusion Design Ltd was established in the early 90s, initially set up to provide exceptional interior design solutions to high-end commercial projects for the renowned property developers in Hong Kong.
Design in my sense is people-oriented, to create something which people like and benefit from it. Uniqueness and functionality are important elements.
Residence and Clubhouse.
Morpheus, Macau is my most favorite design. Its first free-form high-rise exoskeleton outlook impressed me deeply. It also combines structural integrity and sculptural form into the design.
A big show house in China.
My favorite material is timber. I like its naturalness that caters to people-oriented design.
The infinity swimming pool at Vibe Centro Clubhouse combined indoor and outdoor design which created an outstanding view.
Spacing and functionality are most important due to the environmental limitation in Hong Kong.
I feel relaxed and satisfied.
I am happy and excited.
Teamwork as we need different insights to produce a successful design.
Customer satisfaction is my first concern especially for residential project.
Designer should fully utilize all the areas and reduce any form of waste causing pollution to the environment. At the same time, they should apply more environmental-friendly products.
It is becoming more sustainable. More and more technology like light control system and eco-friendly materials will be applied.
My design inspiration comes from experience and appreciation from travelling around the world. Sources of inspirations are mainly from figuring out the pros and cons of the artworks.
Modern luxury. I used to create uniqueness and valuable design.
Hong Kong. Yes. There are space and resources limitations in Hong Kong, so it is necessary to provide functional and personalized design. Although not all designs could be applied in Hong Kong, uniqueness will be created.
By frequent meetings, email communications and presentations to understand their needs and requirement and provide various revisions.
Give clear briefing and less limitation to designer. By browsing their web site or portfolio initially and then interview with them to see if they are good match. Word of mouth or reviews are important too.
It starts with a design brief provided by client which help designer to capture ideas and understand clients’ preferences. After that, we will work on floor plan, mood board and design proposal.
Bed, dining table, sofa, kitchen and bathroom.
I am always having a work-life balance day in order to increase engagement and bring out creative ideas.
Technology plays an important role in the future of interior design. Designer would be encouraged to use more eco-friendly materials, such as artificial stone instead of marble.
Design is subjective and client’s satisfaction would be the pro of being a designer. However, long working hours is the negative side.
Design should focus on people’s needs, raising awareness on social sustainability.
Understanding the need of clients and addressing their needs.
AutoCAD, 3D Max and Photoshop
Well-thought, well-organized and well-planned.
3 to 6 months.
What kind of problem can you foresee for this design?
Vibe Centro Clubhouse
Renowned property developers in Hong Kong
Residential projects
I will keep on working on more people-oriented designs and creating luxurious environments for prestigious residential developments and celebrity homes.
Usually I develop the conceptual design on my own but will work as a team at a later stage.
Not at this moment.
