Four rooms decide how a Hong Kong home actually feels day to day. Use these references to identify the treatment you want, then open the matching case study for the full unit.
Living room design reference
Living and dining are usually one volume in Hong Kong flats, so the work is about circulation and concealment: a TV feature wall that hides router and cabling, a dining zone pushed toward the window for daylight, indirect cove lighting to lift a low ceiling, and full-height storage along the longest wall. See it applied in Novum East and Ocean Pride.
Kitchen design reference
Kitchen planning starts with the plumbing and gas positions you cannot move, then works outward: worktop clearance, drawer stacks instead of deep cupboards, tall units for appliances, and ventilation routing. Opening a kitchen partition can borrow daylight, but only where the wall is non-structural. Related joinery work is on our Custom Made Furniture page.
Office design reference
Commercial fit-out is judged on programme and compliance as much as appearance: landlord fit-out guidelines, after-hours works, fire services requirements, cable management, meeting room acoustics and a reception that carries the brand. Commercial references include Central Plaza and China Hong Kong City.
Bedroom design reference
Bedrooms are storage problems dressed as styling problems. We size hanging, folding and luggage zones against the owner's actual wardrobe, then choose between a fitted wardrobe run, a raised platform bed with drawers, or a loft bed where ceiling height allows. Compact examples: Hemera and Oceanaire.
Most owners browse portfolios for pictures and then discover the quotation bears no relation to what they saw. A more useful reading order is to match constraints first, aesthetics second.
Once you have a shortlist, book a free site visit through the quotation page or the contact page, and we will measure the unit and quote against the specific references you chose.
The same design language behaves differently in a new development, a 1980s estate and a village house. These groupings tell you which of our projects is technically closest to yours.
Handover units arrive with basic finishes and no storage, so almost the entire budget goes to joinery, lighting and soft finishes rather than demolition. Fitting out before move-in also avoids protection and furniture-shifting costs. Reference: Hemera at LOHAS Park, Ocean Pride, Novum East.
Expect rewiring, drainage replacement, waterproofing renewal and floor levelling before styling. We photograph existing conditions before demolition so any variation is provable later. Reference: Chevalier Garden, Broom Garden, Grandview Garden, Lido Garden, Beverly Garden, Beverly Hills, Poggibonsi, Dragon Court.
Budget discipline decides the sequence: fix electrical layout, waterproofing, kitchen and bathroom first, then phase cabinetry so the family can move in and add joinery later. Reference: Ho Tak Court, Lung Fung House, Oceanaire.
Multi-floor units bring staircases, roof access, water pressure, waterproofing and thermal comfort into scope, and material delivery is harder. Our Tai Po series covers three separate units: Lam Tsuen, Lam Tsuen II, Lam Tsuen III. Also see Ling Kai.
Ferry schedules, restricted vehicle access and limited works hours change the programme more than the design does. We plan deliveries in consolidated batches and pre-fabricate joinery off site. Reference: Peng Chau, Graceful Mansion, Siena II — Flat B, Flat C, Marine View.
Landlord fit-out guidelines, building management approvals, after-hours works, fire services requirements and licensing shape the layout before the first sketch. Reference: Central Plaza, China Hong Kong City. Full scope on the Design & Build page.
Hemera is Phase III of LOHAS Park at 1 Lohas Park Road, Tseung Kwan O, completed around 2014, with roughly 1,648 units and saleable areas from about 680 to 1,220 square feet. Units of this generation come with efficient but tight layouts and almost no built-in storage, so the design task is capacity: a full wardrobe run in each bedroom, an entrance drop zone, and a living room wall that absorbs the router, sound bar and everyday clutter. Open the Hemera case study.
Chevalier Garden is a Home Ownership Scheme and Private Sector Participation Scheme court in Ma On Shan next to Tai Shui Hang MTR station, comprising 17 blocks completed in 1988. In buildings of this age the honest advice is to spend on infrastructure before appearance — rewiring to modern circuit loads, replacing concealed drainage, renewing bathroom waterproofing, and levelling floors — because these are the items you cannot revisit without demolishing new finishes. Open the Chevalier Garden case study.
Three separate units in the same area, which is unusually useful as a comparison set: the same team, the same district, three different briefs. Village house work typically involves staircase design, roof and external wall waterproofing, water pressure and heating provision, and heavier structural care because alterations to structural elements are regulated. Unit one, unit two, unit three.
Flat B on floor 6 and Flat C on floor 6 of the same building, both completed by D-8 Limited. Working two flats in one block shows how far a layout can diverge from an identical shell once family size and storage habits differ. Discovery Bay also imposes access and works-hour constraints that must be built into the programme. Flat B, Flat C.
Flat C, floor 7, Block 10. A mainstream Tsuen Wan family apartment brief: open the sightline between kitchen and dining where the partition allows, add a study nook without sacrificing a bedroom, and keep one continuous floor finish so the flat reads larger than its floor area. Open the case study.
Two commercial engagements where programme discipline mattered as much as design. Fit-out inside managed commercial buildings means submitting works schedules, insurance and method statements, working outside trading hours, and coordinating with base-building fire services and ventilation. Central Plaza, China Hong Kong City.
D-8 Limited offers a diverse range of interior design references spanning modern minimalism, Nordic style, and functional design. Whether living room, kitchen, bedroom, or office, our team focuses on detail and user experience, combined with 3D animation visualization so clients can preview the final result before construction.
Style is really a shortcut for a set of decisions about colour, material and light. Modern minimalist and Nordic schemes lean on light oak tones, handleless fronts and concealed cove lighting. Japanese and Muji-inspired schemes use low furniture heights, tatami storage platforms and warm neutrals. Light luxury layers stone-look surfaces and brushed metal trims, while wabi-sabi moves the other way toward micro-cement, lime-wash and matte texture. Naming your direction early cuts revision rounds significantly.
Browse our design portfolio for inspiration, or speak with our designers about turning your ideas into a unique space. If you only need drawings and 3D visualization without construction, that is exactly what our Design Project service delivers.

From apartments and village houses to commercial spaces, D-8 Limited publishes 27 interior design and renovation case studies and 12 custom made furniture case studies on this site. As a Registered Minor Works Contractor (Class II), we provide integrated design-and-build services to bring design concepts to life.
Every project is supported by detailed documentation, clear client communication, and an experienced construction team to deliver consistent quality. Because design and construction sit inside the same company, the designer who planned your layout is the person who answers the carpenter's questions on site and checks wall lines before tiling begins — which removes the most common Hong Kong renovation dispute, the gap between what was drawn and what was built.

A photograph is the last five percent of a project. The other ninety-five percent is documentation, and that is where D-8 Limited's practice is built.
Allow two to three months before construction begins for stages one to six. Residential construction then typically runs about six to twelve weeks depending on scope. Read the fee models and process in more detail on our home page fee section and process section.
Hong Kong regulates alteration and repair work under the Minor Works Control System. Minor works are classified into three classes by nature, scale, complexity and safety risk, and a registered contractor may only carry out the classes and items for which it is registered. Class II covers works of comparatively lower complexity and risk and can proceed without appointing a prescribed building professional, provided a prescribed registered contractor is appointed.
Repair of a structural element — any column, load bearing wall, slab or beam, or a concrete projection from a structural member — is a designated Class II minor works item, and owners must appoint a prescribed registered contractor to carry it out. D-8 Limited is registered as a Minor Works Contractor Class II. Because spalling exposes reinforcement to moisture, rust keeps progressing until defective concrete is hacked back to sound substrate and patched with the correct repair mortar, so delay makes the repair area larger, not smaller. See the Spalling Repairing Works service.
Non-structural partitions can often be altered, but structural walls, slabs and beams cannot be touched without proper assessment and the correct statutory route. Most estates also require an application to the building management office with a works schedule, contractor insurance details and a deposit before hoarding goes up. We prepare this documentation as part of a design and build engagement.
Send us the case study reference plus your floor plan, and we will quote against that specification rather than a generic package. Free site visit, measurement and written itemized quotation, with no obligation.
