Appreciation towards K.P.D.O.for providing the following description:

澳大利亚墨尔本设计事务所K.P.D.O.把香港岛海港西区坚尼地城最佳水滨地址上一栋建于上世纪60年代的老楼“同发大厦”成功改造成现代优雅的8户豪华公寓。大楼底部小，上部挑出，是典型的唐楼样式。原有灰暗陈旧的色彩和黯淡小玻璃窗户被一扫而光，替换成白色的外墙和黑框大面积明亮开窗，形象复古而又别致。住户可以尽享窗外海湾辽阔美景。

K.P.D.O. launches its first Hong Kong project: a fully renovated 1960s tong lau in Kennedy Town to become eight spacious penthouse apartments.

K.P.D.O is proud to be at the forefront of Hong Kong’s growing interest in its own architectural heritage as it launches the Tung Fat Building in Kennedy Town. Originally a low-rise tong lau built in the 1960s, the Tung Fat Building is located on Kennedy Town’s waterfront in the Western District of Hong Kong Island.

K.P.D.O. was tasked with breathing new life into the building by reimagining the property as eight luxury apartments and restoring its façade. Built in the attractive art-deco style of the 1960s, the Tung Fat Building’s four spacious floors boast large windows and tall ceilings as well as sweeping vistas of Hong Kong Harbour across to Stonecutters Bay.

The design firm remained as true as possible to the original aesthetics of the building, working to preserve such elements as the cast terrazzo handrail and the mouldings. The faded exterior was remodelled and restored to a gleaming black and white – allowing the building to keep its retro-chic appearance.

K.P.D.O. 的主持建筑师Stephen Javens告诉gooood，香港的风貌便是新旧并存的林立大楼，他们在改建时相对新建，做得更多的工作其实是修复大楼，最终保留了大楼原有的轮廓外观，而没有做过分的变动。他们希望保留香港的建筑遗产，而不像大多数当地做法那样大拆大建。他们的设计可看做是一场对香港的现代主义建筑致敬。特征鲜明的建筑美学之后，是智能实用室内设计理念。公寓内部以白色作为基调，配以浅色机理木地板，在时间变化中，这里从到到晚的光影变化迷人而丰富。

Stephen Javens, Director of Architecture at K.P.D.O. states: “In a city like Hong Kong, there is growing concern that a building’s former heritage may be lost. We therefore tried to ensure the exterior of the Tung Fat Building underwent more of a restoration than an actual redevelopment, and so the original iconic façade of the property remains aesthetically unchanged now.”

The Tung Fat Building showcases K.P.D.O.’s interior design philosophy of a strong architectural aesthetic coupled with intelligent practical solutions. The interior of the apartments has the modern base palette of white – coupled with pale, textured timber floors. This enables K.P.D.O to bring the living space to life with different natural effects playing across the surfaces from morning to evening, which are only amplified by the mesmerizing light-scape over the water.

“香港活力与压力并存”，K.P.D.O. 的创始人Kerry Phelan继续对gooood说道，“宽阔的空间必不可少，尤其是上班的空间也密闭狭窄的时候。我们在设计时，希望将这八个公寓变成一个平静的港湾，简约而开敞”

这8套公寓每套占据一层，其中顶部公寓为复式公寓。底层为墨西哥餐厅。

这是K.P.D.O.在香港的首个项目。

As with all of K.P.D.O.’s projects, the tactile experience of each of its spaces becomes a key aspect of the experience and each material utilized in the design process has been carefully selected for its particular characteristics – from natural materials and quality stones, to the curation of finishes – typifying the design firm’s ideology of conceptual exploration in versatile spaces.

Kerry Phelan, Founder of K.P.D.O. continues: “Hong Kong is a vibrant and exhausting city, where spaciousness is essential – especially when working in such confined spaces. We aimed to turn each of the eight apartments into a calm retreat, by creating simple and spacious living areas with exaggerated dimensions which express long views within each space.”
