The Shangri-la Hotel, at The Shard, London, is another example of a contemporary icon by Steve Leung with touches of Oriental elegance in its design. Chinese ink paintings are seen throughout the location, from the Entrance Lobby to the Guest Rooms, and the F&B outlets, exhibiting traditional Chinese elegance with a subtle glamour. The Guest Rooms in particular, reinterpret the essence of Chinese Arts in a modern and abstract way, with the ambience of cozy tranquillity from the soothing turquoise and wood colour scheme, as well as the mood lighting. An array of refined materials and colours harmonize the interiors, revealing the understated grandiose amid an impeccable environment.
The essence of traditional Chinese philosophy and principles continue to tie in with Steve Leung’s design thinking and approach, which is simple yet refined, practical yet with an artistic sensibility. Steve believes that good design is human-centred (以人為本), striving to create a perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality to serve people in the best way possible and improve the quality of everyday life. His designs are also characterised by ‘The Golden Mean’ (中庸之道), which in ancient Chinese philosophy, describes the beauty of moderation between two spectrums, bringing refined quality within upscale projects through an approach of understated luxury.
