The clients had been long-time fans of hoo after having seen their projects in local publications – and they were very open-minded when accepting new creative concepts for the design of their home. To make the space feel contemporary and liveable, the hoo team adopted a palette of flattering pastels and approachable Scandinavian designer furnishings. It’s a look that’s been embraced by hoo in many of their projects, particularly in smaller homes. "About five to six years ago, we suggested that our clients look closely at the Scandinavian aesthetic, especially those with smaller units," recalls YC. "I like minimal, but it’s not very realistic unless you lead a really minimal lifestyle. With the Scandinavian school, it’s a pared-back look but with a human touch. It’s cosy and features interesting details, seen in the materials and colour choices. All of our projects really aim to convey a human touch."

首個節約空間的做法就是把兩間前睡房改造成一大間睡房，迎合夫婦的生活模式。成果就是一間更寬大的主人套房，並附額外的儲物空間，在走廊和床下均加裝流線俐落的衣櫃。把書房收在一角後方的做法也屬必須，那麼，他們便可舒適安靜地在家中工作。
