Design Theme
In the wake of the global pandemic, the concept of flexible, multipurpose living space arises out of necessity. Homeowners are increasingly utilising “flex spaces”, which can be repurposed to fit the changing needs of families, from a home gym to a workstation, study area, playroom, pet corner or entertainment zone.
To address this growing trend, HKRI is hosting the fourth edition of the “PRI2DE Creative Camp” in Hong Kong this year, in collaboration with Hong Kong Designers Association (HKDA) as Strategic Partner, to invite interior design talents to present their innovative designs for a two-bedroom layout of a 600 ft² apartment that echoes HKRI’s brand mission of “We Create a Lifestyle”.
Through this project, HKRI aims to co-create a smart, sustainable lifestyle that redefines the use of living space and gives home a multi-functional edge, in line with three of the Group’s PRI2DE corporate values – “Respect” that values the individual and cherishes our environment, “Innovation” that allows us to think outside the box, and “Excellence” that achieves consistency in the pursuit of our quality standards.
