The area is characterized by a mixture of old and new multistory buildings, shop, restaurants and entertainment.

The building is a mixed-use commercial complex, it consists offices floors and 8 retail floors offering an array of food and beverage, with direct access to the Mong Kong MTR station. It is well connected with public transport network.

How The Project Was Received
As a response, the design concept was the industrial bauhaus style with all modern facilities. The architect’s team generated an original palette of harmonized colors including emerald green, grey and orange.
The architects used mostly natural materials such as wood, cork, metal, ceramic and glass in the interior decoration of the office space. Leaving duct work exposed makes a more interesting ceiling which can also hold the twofold purpose of solving a problem of little or no attic space with which to hide the duct work.
The co-working space was naturally divided without using free-standing walls to maximize the natural lighting through the space. In addition to the overall interior design, FVA team used the simple and flexible furniture as the industrial pendant lighting of DCW, Flos, Foscarini, Vibia, Artemide and a series of solid tables, chairs, sofas and storage units from Sokoa, Viccarbe, Vitra, Casalis, Fritz Hansen, Hay, Alki, Kristalia, Kyadrat.
