“Layered Frames”
Williams Lea Tag Workplace

“The narrative is inspired by the layered densities of downtown Wanchai in Hong Kong in terms of the neon signs on porous facades, as a set of architectural joinery devices to encourage social interaction and chance encounter in this workplace.” – Kenny Kinugasa-Tsui, co-founder of Bean Buro

“We developed a dynamic palette composed of natural finishes with coloured accents. The main feature was a bar island upon entry surrounded by diner style booths, and a sculptural boardroom that visually frames the external street view constructed entirely in plywood.” – Lorène Faure, co-founder of Bean Buro

Placed at the heart of the dynamic Wanchai district is Bean Buro’s design for marketing brand Williams Lea Tag’s new workplace in Hong Kong. Drawing reference from the district’s urban typologies and symbol, the proposal reinterprets characteristic framing and layering devices, generating a work environment that feels as raw, diverse, and multifaceted as its context.
