Architecture and design studio in hong kong

Alexis Dornier is an internationally recognised architecture and design studio working across residential, hospitality, commercial and cultural projects.

Our experience in Hong Kong includes completed retail environments for % Arabica, developed within the city’s highly compact and design-conscious urban context.

For new architectural commissions, we work internationally in collaboration with local architects, consultants and specialist teams to develop projects from initial concept through detailed design and implementation.

Working in Hong Kong

Our work begins with the specific conditions of each project rather than a predetermined architectural style.

Hong Kong presents a particularly interesting environment for this approach. Density, limited space, complex circulation, regulation and highly developed construction standards all demand precision from the earliest stages of design.

Our completed work in Hong Kong includes commercial interiors for % Arabica, where compact footprints, customer movement, material expression and brand identity had to be resolved within highly constrained spaces.

For larger architectural projects, Alexis Dornier Studio collaborates with locally registered architects, engineers and specialist consultants where required. Our role can extend from early concept and architectural direction through design development, interiors and detailed design coordination.

This allows clients to combine an internationally driven architectural concept with the local expertise necessary for approvals and construction in Hong Kong.

Areas of Work

Hospitality

Our broader portfolio includes boutique hotels, resorts and hospitality environments across international locations.

We approach hospitality as a sequence of experiences: from arrival and circulation to private spaces, landscape and material atmosphere.

Private Residences

We work with private clients on contemporary residences defined by strong spatial ideas, material clarity and a close response to site.

For projects in Hong Kong, our studio can lead the architectural concept and design development while collaborating with locally appointed architects, engineers and consultants for statutory approvals and technical implementation.

RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL INTERIORS

Alexis Dornier Studio has completed retail environments for % Arabica in Hong Kong.

These projects required architectural ideas to operate within compact commercial spaces, combining circulation, brand experience, material detail and spatial identity.

Process

01. CONCEPT AND ARCHITECTURAL DIRECTION

Each project begins by identifying the essential conditions of the site, programme and client ambition.

Rather than starting from a predetermined style, we establish a clear architectural framework that guides spatial organisation, structure, materials and atmosphere.

02. DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

The concept is progressively developed across architecture, interiors, materials and key details.

Spatial relationships, facades, structure, circulation and interior environments are tested together so that the project develops as one coherent design rather than a collection of separate decisions.

03. LOCAL CONSULTANT COORDINATION

For projects requiring Hong Kong statutory approvals, we work alongside locally registered architects, engineers and other specialist consultants appointed for the project.

The local team provides regulatory and technical expertise while Alexis Dornier Studio maintains the overall architectural direction and design intent.

04. DELIVERY AND REALISATION

Depending on the project scope, our involvement can continue through detailed architectural design, interior design, consultant coordination and construction-stage design review.

The objective is to maintain the architectural idea from the earliest concept through to the finished project.

Architecture Within Density

Hong Kong creates architectural conditions very different from the tropical environments where much of Alexis Dornier Studio’s built work has been realised.

Space is limited, circulation is compressed, and relationships between interior, facade, view and privacy become particularly important.

Our experience designing commercial environments in Hong Kong has already introduced the studio to this intensity of scale and constraint.

For larger architectural commissions, we see these limitations not simply as restrictions but as productive design parameters.

A successful project must use space intelligently while still creating generosity, identity and atmosphere.

Whether working on a private residence, boutique hospitality project, retail environment or larger development, our objective remains the same: to create architecture that feels specific to its site and programme rather than imported from somewhere else.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Our completed work in Hong Kong includes retail environments designed for % Arabica. These projects gave the studio direct experience working within Hong Kong’s compact, highly urban commercial environment. We are also open to larger architectural commissions including private residences, hospitality projects and design-led developments.

No. Alexis Dornier Studio is based in Indonesia and works internationally. For Hong Kong projects, we collaborate with locally registered architects, engineers and consultants where required for approvals, documentation and construction.

Yes. Our studio designs high-end private residences internationally and can lead the architectural concept, spatial planning, design development and interior architecture for projects in Hong Kong. A locally registered architect and other required consultants would typically be involved for statutory approvals and local compliance.

Yes. Our international portfolio includes boutique hospitality and resort projects and we are open to hotel, lifestyle and hospitality commissions in Hong Kong. Our involvement can include architectural concept, design development, interior architecture and overall design direction.

Yes. Alexis Dornier Studio has completed commercial retail environments for % Arabica in Hong Kong. Retail projects are approached architecturally, considering circulation, customer experience, brand identity, materials and spatial efficiency together.

Yes. This is often the preferred structure for international projects. Alexis Dornier Studio can lead the architectural concept and design direction while a Hong Kong-based architect and consultant team manages local statutory requirements, technical compliance and approvals.

Ideally at the beginning of the project. Early involvement allows fundamental questions relating to site organisation, programme, massing, circulation, structure and spatial character to be established before significant technical decisions are made. However, we can also review existing concepts or projects that are already in development.

We are particularly interested in architecturally ambitious private residences, boutique hospitality, retail, lifestyle, cultural and mixed-use projects. We work selectively and are best suited to projects where design quality and architectural identity are important parts of the client’s objectives.
