The Henley
The Henley is a coffee shop interior in Hong Kong. The entrance resembles the door of a spacecraft and leads into a long, narrow corridor. At the end of the corridor, visitors reach the coffee bar and the main seating area. Plants, curves, custom-made lighting and materials in varied textures and finishes are applied to the ceiling, walls and flooring. Steel, aluminium, concrete, wood, feature glass and fabrics create a balance of hard and soft surfaces. The layout supports a circular flow through the irregularly shaped space of about 250 square metres.
The Henley Coffee Shop by Lok Ping Edwin Chow has been highlighted as a grand representation of architectural design by the A' Design Award & Competition. The Henley Coffee Shop earned the Bronze A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2023. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design recognition program that recognizes outstanding design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
