Apartment 615 at The Carlyle
A hotel is an immersive cultural experience, capturing the soul of a place within its environment. We transformed a private apartment at The Carlyle into a unique offering for guests seeking to live rather than stay. Embracing the natural elements and architecture, we curated furniture and art for this unit, a mix of found and new to reflect a personality of The Carlyle inspired by the world-class art institutions of the Upper East Side—Guggenheim, The Frick, Smithsonian, Gagosian. How do we transcend the ordinary with a sense of adventure, bringing the spirit of a place to life. Welcome to Apartment 615 at The Carlyle… a tribute to artful living.

Holt’s Café Hong Kong
In collaboration with the tonychi studio design team, we focused on conceptualizing the narrative for an innovative dining destination within Rosewood Hong Kong. Drawing inspiration from Viennese tea shoppe aesthetics, as well as the artistic legacies of Mackintosh, Auto Vagner, Vienna Secession, and the nostalgic charm of tea houses from a bygone era, the concept narrative aimed to infuse sophistication and cultural richness into the space.
The envisioned dining experience, tailored exclusively for serving breakfast to hotel guests, pays homage to the historical roots of the land dating back to the late 19th century. The design narrative, meticulously crafted to capture the essence of Viennese design and global influences, seeks to create a thematic connection that aligns seamlessly with the historical significance of Holt’s Wharf. While focusing solely on the concept narrative and direction, our goal was to achieve a distinctive and memorable ambiance that harmonizes the elegance of Viennese tea shoppe aesthetics with the unique historical context of Holt’s Wharf within the Rosewood Hong Kong setting.
