Future Proofing | SCMP Post Mag | Aug 2025
The remodel of this 3,000 sqf house was “built with love”, with so many memories in the home, it was important to keep the connection going. Ultimately, the home will not only function as a sanctuary for the inhabitants, but also an inviting gathering space for family and friends for years to come.
D2S Dream2Story, Sharing day
Dream2Story has created something truly special and meaningful. 
The team at Clifton Leung shared captivating behind-the-scenes stories of their iconic home and corporate projects, blending artistry with functionality. Then came the highlight: a fast-paced 5-minute design challenge where mentees teamed up to sketch bold ideas on the spot. The energy was electric, and the results? Pure creativity unleashed!
Beyond sketches and layouts, this experience was about "teamwork", "co-creation", and the "happiness" great design brings. It's moments like these that remind us how powerful creativity can be-and we can't wait to see how our mentees will shape the future of design!

Dear Friends and Family,
Clifton Leung Design Workshop would like to take this chance to welcome you to the new year of the Snake! We are excited to see our new Panda twins born in HK! With the 2 new pandas who also arrived HK last year, we have total 6 pandas in HK Ocean Park! Welcome all Hong Kongers and visitors to visit our new born twins Pandas - elder sister and younger brother (their names will be announced soon!)
Over the years since 2020, you may have noticed our beloved Ferris Dude popping up in our office or featuring in cozy posts on our social media. We are thrilled to take this opportunity to welcome Ferris, a rescue dog from HK Dog Rescue, to Clifton Leung Design Workshop office's website and all our media posts.
Ferris’ journey is a testament to the power of love and care in transforming the lives of rescued animals. By sharing his story, we hope to raise awareness about the importance of adopting and supporting rescue dogs in our community. Every little furry friend deserves a chance at a loving home, and we believe that by spotlighting Ferris and our other rescue companions, we can inspire others to open their hearts to these wonderful animals.
Let’s work together to spread love and compassion for our furry friends and continue making a positive impact in our community!

CREATING A SOULFUL MINIMALIST HOME
Marked by simple clean lines and muted colour palette, minimalist design is often misunderstood as cold, bare and impersonal, but in fact, its streamlined aesthetic embodies a timeless charm that will draw you in every time.
Let’s explore some practical tips to achieving a sensational minimalist home without sacrificing personality.
Playing with Varying Tones of Neutral Palette and Textures
A monochromatic colour scheme consisting of whites, beiges and greys are characteristic of minimalist-designed spaces. Neutral colour tones have an amazing calming effects. To create a cosy and intimate space, incorporate varying shades of the neutral colour palette, with textural contrast of an artwork and soft furnishings like soft wool fabrics, rugs and lightweight curtain.
With the right dose of application, hues like blue, green or blush pink can subtly serve as muted accent colours to amp up a space with unique personality.
In this apartment in Cherry Crest, a light-toned palette of beige, cream and white and an abundance of natural wood was used to create a calm and relaxing family ambience. To give the apartment an accent highlight, slate grey was incorporated – a universal colour to maintain the minimalist and modern look.
Create Spatial Fluidity
Layout with an open-ended continuity between different hub spaces is of prime importance. The natural flow enriches a minimalist design with a sense of aesthetic lightness and depth as we travel through the space.
“Floating” curved cabinets offset the rigidness of clean lines and sharp edges in this home at The Masterpiece.
Lighting is Everything
From natural light to ambient softer light, a good lighting design can accentuate the space with various moods. Get as much natural light into the space as possible. To retain the clean lines of the space, recessed spotlights, trough lighting and LED strip lighting are fabulous way to keep overbearing lighting fixtures out of sight, such as the lounge space at this apartment in Providence Bay. The key is to strike a balance between aesthetic and function.
In this apartment in Woodland Gardens, the dining room strikes a distinct Scandinavian note, highlighted by a pair of Louis Poulsen pendant lights.
Plan Ahead for a Fuss Free Space
Cutting the clutter is one of the greatest challenges for a minimalist design, especially in the space-starved Hong Kong homes.
There are plenty of innovative use of space and discreet storage solutions, but it pays to think ahead to incorporate thoughtful design during the spatial planning process.
The platform, the defining feature in this apartment in The Richmond, solves several design problems at once. Visually, the podium adds dimension and elevation and makes the room more interesting, while the steps create additional seating without the clutter of extra chairs.
Unconventional design and layout create an extraordinary space for a study in a challenging trapezoid-shaped living room in this apartment in One Robinson Place.
Smart sandwich blinds block excessive solar heat and remain dust-free and fuss-free in this apartment in La Clare Mansion!
CLDW Youth Day
Our Vision to Create A Bountiful Future
WITH And FOR The Younger Generation
CLDW Youth Day 2023, welcoming students from DMHC Siu Ming Catholic Secondary School to our studio, was truly invigorating.
With so many disruptions happening in the past few years, we had all been socially isolated in one way or another. Spending most of our time in interior spaces, some might feel trapped, others depressed.
CLDW Youth Day was a much-needed channel for the participating youngsters to understand the powerful impact of a user-oriented space design and its ability to uplift emotions and connect people.
With the backing of my dedicated team members, the presentation tour was marked by fun, creative and engaging activities. Great to see all the youngsters roaming around our studio. Curious. Socially engaged.
My gratitude to all the students for sharing your encouraging feedbacks on our CLDW 25th Anniversary postcards – these memories will remain vivid and heart-warming for many years to come.
The younger generation holds the key to our future. It is our corporate responsibility to initiate positive engagement with them. I look forward to launching more youth-related initiatives, sowing the seeds for a bountiful future for the interior design industry and a better world.

Clifton Leung X LeSportsac Crossover Launch Event at Pacific Place
We have not only reimagined the brand in the new retail space – but created our first crossover collaboration – a limited edition range of men’s lifestyle items, #CliftonLeungXLeSportsac. Clifton says when designing the new shop concept, his priority was to create a unique customer experience. The result is what he describes as “a futuristic gallery space”. To showcase LeSportsac’s fashion-forward pieces, we used an RGB lighting system featuring colour-changing technology that produces vibrant colours. For the print of the crossover collaboration, we drew inspiration from the “blueprint” of the interior design. We hope to foster people’s boundless imaginations and creativity.

one2free Megastore – Mong Kok
Gone are the days where mobile retail shops are covered with wall of phones and customers need to queue up to be served. The one2free Megastore aims to turn mobile retail shopping into a come-and hang out social experience. Capitalizing on the high ceiling and the prime location in the city hubbub Mongkok, we turned the 2-storey, 6,000 sq.ft. space into a modern loft design, accentuated by signature brick walls, black metal frames, pitched roof and an airy open space. The design concept symbolizes the contemporary and hip lifestyle of the younger generation in metropolitan cities.

Converse
Converse Retail Store – New Town Plaza, Shatin
In a 600 sqf outlet where hundreds of sneakers and sportswear items will have to be exhibited, the first challenge that has to be tackled in terms of design is to maximize the image effect in an outlet with a relatively small size. A full-height logo with the brilliant red and white colours is installed facing the main entrance of the shop. This key design feature, not only catches the attention of passers-by, but implies the powerful nature of the sports brand.
PCCW-HKT Signature Store
PCCW-HKT Signature Store – Central
The design of PCCW-HKT signature store reflects the brand’s leading position as Hong Kong’s most experienced and all-round telecom service provider, with a century of experience and the largest customer base. The rejuvenated shop image is characterized by an empowering façade architecture that connects people and creates experiences. Distinct “architectural” interior design defines the zoning for the brand’s two business focuses – mobile and home solutions.
