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 was identified as a creative representation of architectural design by the A' Design Award. The Henley Coffee Shop received the Bronze A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2023. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design recognition program which celebrates exceptional design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
