Situated in Happy Valley, Hong Kong, Resiglow is a 29-storey chic urban loft-inspired residential development that caters to an elite target market, which demands spaciousness, flexibility and a bespoke quality.
Designed by PDP London’s Hong Kong Studio, the apartment building speaks a clean, uncluttered design language, using a stylish black-and-white palette with tactile, textural finishes. The designers used light, volume and practical layouts to maximise flexibility and to create a consciousness of continuous, flowing space, without unnecessary thresholds or ‘dead’ spaces.
The industrial-chic façade has steel framed windows and individual balconies, which extends each apartment’s living room outwards, allowing residents to take full advantage of natural ventilation and open views.
The podium design features a large, ground floor reception space leading to the tower lift core, with all electrical and mechanical systems provided within the podium mass. One side of the glass lifts’ shaft allows for the expression of structure and lift cars, while highlighting the vertical circulation on the façade. This feature also provides an exciting experience and sky views for residents travelling through the building.
The interiors boast a simple aesthetic concept, with materials chosen for their hardiness. Walnut floorboards meet stone tiles, while white walls and joinery are detailed in stainless steel or wood veneer. Bathrooms are highlighted with luxurious marble shower rooms. A kitchen cabinet in walnut veneer forms the backdrop to the dining space, while providing additional storage space.
