The Upper House Unveils a New Private Residence on Level 48
In 2009, André Fu and his studio were granted international accolade following his work with The Upper House, Hong Kong. Now, over a decade later, the collaboration continues; with the opening of the André Fu Suite on Level 48 of the House.
The André Fu Suite is a 1,960sqft space designed in homage to the enduring relationship between the renowned designer and The Upper House. Enhancing Fu's original design intention to create a sophisticated and modern residence, the Suite will embody Fu's design ethos of 'relaxed luxury' and provide an insight into his personal journey with the hotel that launched his career.
The Suite now houses a dining table set for 18, whilst the guest bathroom has been adapted to incorporate a dedicated spa area featuring twin massage beds.
A calming palette of mineral blue, dusty mink and pale ivory differentiates the Suite - which will feature original concept hand-sketches of the hotel, alongside a collection of artisan books from Fu's personal library - from the rest of The House.
The Suite's design is a testament to the sensibilities of its designer and his ability to bring a calm simplicity into interior spaces. Furnishings, decorative lighting and home accessories have been handpicked from the André Fu Living Collection; from the sculptural ottoman to the fluidity and linear structure of the Mid-Century inspired furniture, and the refined porcelain tableware delicately garnished with artisan brush gilding, each piece within the Suite is an expression of Fu's signature understated sophistication and fascination with craftsmanship.
Combining the refined experience of a luxury hotel with the privacy and comfort of a contemporary residence, the André Fu Suite offers guests a true sense of home. Intimate and inviting, the Suite enables hosts to embrace their personal expression of living and is designed to enable relaxation and socialising in equal measure. Having previously been a two-bedroom Penthouse, the space has been reimagined; the second bedroom now houses a dining table, set for 20, whilst the guest bathroom has been adapted to incorporate a dedicated spa area, featuring twin massage beds.
In addition to the Suite, Fu has transformed the arrival experience at Level 4 of The Upper House from a place to simply check-in and out, to a space that feels more akin to a living room, creating a sense of intimacy and relaxation.
