The first home of a young expat couple, this 600-square-foot apartment overlooking Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour was inspired by its owners’ favorite sandy travel destinations such as the beaches of Hawaii and the Arizonian desert. Using a palette of sand, ochre, gentle blues, warm terracotta, and wood, and a concise collection of lighting and objets d’art from around the world, Iman El Zeky Studio interior design turned this Hong Kong high-rise apartment unit into an exotic oasis for its travel-loving owners. 
​“Our inspiration came from our clients’ favorite sandy travel destinations. The apartment is composed of rooms with a distinctive atmosphere that evokes the experiences of these destinations. The sand of the beaches and deserts around the world that the owners love guided the concept. We used textures and colors to create a feeling of a space surrounded by sand dunes or clouds. By designing tailor-made furniture, we could free up enough space within the compact property to display carefully-curated objects from around the world,” says El Zeky.
