And finally, i've found the perfect couple for this -

New Comers?
Sleeper has never been on my usual shelf checklist (way tooo commercial), but anyhow, it succeeded in stealing my attention the other day.
The Asian boy came on page 1, his bedtime company was Monocle. oooops!
So, apparently, this Andre Fu is a pop right now. His latest project The Upper House under Swire management shall be open soon in Admiraty, Hong Kong. Prime site. High profile clientele. Does his design meet the standard? I hope. At the very least in Honker's standard. He has overseen a few major projs over the years, from Shanghai's Jia Hotel to Agnes B's flagship store. That says something on his portfolio. And as I was browsing his website (afso.net), he's been featured on some global mags for years. a big wow. finally someone's upping the game. :)
what really interested me was bkk's new hotel/ commercial complex - Mahanakhon! OMG! It's terribly hip! Done by OMA, no wonder! he deserves everyone a sincere salute!
and came Toulouse's Etap. I had once stayed in this budget hotel in the U.K.. Not bad indeed. Yet, this new comer is taking it to the next level. You feel welcomed once stepping across the threshold. You don't feel budget there. Hospitality.
And the other day I was visiting Design Museum. Mariscal was what I most wanted to see (without student card it's asking for 12quids which I wasn't prepared to squeeze). We first went around David Chipperfield's exhibition. His models looked brilliant, but the real things were rather disappointing. In particular the BBC centre in Scotland, the interior was a mess. It looks like 40s and very communist/ nazi. The colour scheme was awful. The layout was depressing. I might not have the right to judge, but definitely I wouldn't wanna work there nor invite any guests over.
