Western District is close to the modern bustle of Central but a world away in history and its local community, where food culture is a focus. The district’s traditional dried seafood and vegetable stalls, and family-owned shops, are a time capsule of Hong Kong’s heritage, with a wealth of historical buildings and the authentic culture of a fast-disappearing past.

In a truly Artisanal approach to preserving and renovating the distinctive and precious qualities of the district, we have chosen to focus on the harmonious integration of Chinese and Western cultures. Working closely with the architect Simplicity Co. Ltd. and Thomas Cheung Kong Yeung, we have created in BOHEMIAN HOUSE a stylish reflection of past and present that pays homage to history and features the latest in architectural design.

Concentrating on traditional Japanese aesthetics, we have set aside the ordinary notions of luxury to focus on the fundamental qualities of beauty, harmony and grace. We are passionate about using natural materials to reflect and express the local environment, as can be seen in the use of stone for the BOHEMIAN HOUSE entrance, and the design note of copper for the subtle variations in colour and texture that evolve with the passage of time.

This sense of cultural harmony is perfectly exemplified in the understated sophistication of CLUB BOHEMIAN, where our design takes its inspiration from the district’s unique food culture. With a focus on the freshest local ingredients sourced from neighbouring shops and markets, the ARTISAN KITCHEN and Alfresco outdoor cooking space provide a unique environment where residents can experiment, innovate and showcase their expertise. In the fully-equipped kitchens, with their display of exquisitely crafted copperware, even the most ambitious dreams of personalised fine dining can come to life for friends, family, colleagues and fellow Artisans.

While the design of the façade references tram window frames to reflect the nostalgia of Hong Kong’s iconic tramway system, Yeung’s ingenious use of the I-frame provides a striking new way of embracing and linking the curtain wall and balconies of the residential unit.

The innovations of BOHEMIAN HOUSE breathe new life into the traditional heart of Hong Kong’s Western District. They make it an ideal home to a new generation of sophisticated urban bohemians who appreciate the artisanal subtleties of revolutionary architecture integrated with historical resonance and the local food culture, harmoniously expressed through finely crafted urban design.
