HOTEL XII LOBBY

SPATIAL DESIGN FOR HOTEL LOBBY

Location: Prince Edward, Hong Kong
Size: 200 sq.ft.
Layout: 1 Lobby
Budget: Approximately HKD 250,000 (including labor and materials)
Construction Period : Approximately 4 months

Introduction:

HOTEL XII is located in a 12-storey tong lau in Prince Edward, where the entire building was renovated into 12 boutique hotel rooms, with one room on each floor. The name XII is the Roman numeral for 12, directly reflecting the building’s 12-storey structure and 12-room layout, giving the hotel a clear and memorable identity. By combining tong lau revitalization with boutique hotel interior design, the project creates a more distinctive local hospitality experience in Prince Edward.

Spatial Design Strategies

Although the lobby is narrow, its high ceiling became a key design advantage. A dense arrangement of small suspended lights, together with black steel and reflective ceiling surfaces, draws the eye upward and turns the ceiling into the main visual focus of the arrival space. This approach enhances verticality, depth, and perceived spaciousness, while dark timber finishes and stone flooring reinforce the refined character of the boutique hotel interior.

SPATIAL DESIGN FOR HOTEL ROOM

Location: Prince Edward, Hong Kong
Size: 210 sq.ft.
Layout: 1 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom
Budget: Approximately HKD 190,000 Per Room (including labor and materials)
Construction Period : Approximately 15 months (12-storey)

Introduction:

The guest room uses dark timber finishes, a feature bed wall, geometric ceiling lighting, and custom furniture to create a cohesive and intimate interior atmosphere. An open bathroom layout strengthens the connection between the sleeping and bathing areas, giving the room a more fluid spatial experience and a mood that feels especially suited to couples. A glazed corner brings in natural light, helping the darker palette remain comfortable, open, and contemporary.
