Oval Partnership, a renowned architectural firm, specializing in revitalization, conservation, and sustainable design headquartered in Hong Kong, has been recognized for its outstanding work in the field of luxury apartment architecture. The company’s bespoke 23-storey residential development at 42 Tung St. has earned the prestigious title of Best Luxury Apartment Architecture, 2023 by Luxury Lifestyle Awards. 

Nestled in the heart of Sheung Wan’s Poho area, this remarkable winning project at 42 Tung St. encompasses a single residential tower and a 3-storey podium. This residential development exemplifies a harmonious blend of luxury, conservation, and sustainable design. Comprising 13 boutique residential units, including 9 simplexes and 4 duplexes, this development sets a new standard for luxury living. Each residence enjoys the privilege of a private lift lobby, offering an exclusive sense of arrival and an extended entry experience that commences with a sculptural stepped garden and serene entrance lobby. 

The architectural concept behind 42 Tung St. pays homage to the traditional Tong Lau shop house typology and the distinctive design language that characterizes the area. The building’s form adopts a striking ‘grid’ aesthetic, which beautifully expresses columns and beams across a modular façade. The material and color palette, with low-key painted and modular tiled finishes and accent metalwork, seamlessly blends with the unique character of the Tai Ping Shan area. 

The interior design continues this captivating dark and light interplay, featuring a private lobby, kitchen, bathroom, and clubhouse intertwined with a dark bronze accent against a backdrop of beige stone and desaturated wood. 

At street level, the project is thoughtfully integrated into the local streetscape and stepped pavement design. The residential lobby and ground floor premises engage with pedestrians and the public, adding vibrancy to the streetscape. A stepped pavement and landscape design includes a 2-meter site setback from Tung Street, enlivening the streetscape and local urban environment. 

The characteristic yet modest architectural design, inspired by the traditional tenement house, fosters a sense of belonging and civic pride, seamlessly blending the development into the built environment. 

Oval Partnership’s vision for the residential development at 42 Tung St. showcases its commitment to luxury living, urban conservation, and sustainability, making them a worthy recipient of the prestigious Luxury Lifestyle Award. 

 “We are truly honored to receive this prestigious Luxury Lifestyle Award for our dedication to crafting bespoke solutions. This recognition reaffirms our commitment and dedication to delivering personalized and extraordinary design experiences while considering all factors such as community revitalization, area-wide conservation, and sustainability.”
