2024 Best of Year Winner for Apartment
Samual Lam Chun Him founded his interiors firm in 2010 and has since gone on to complete dozens of residential projects in Japan and Hong Kong. A duplex apartment in the latter region is a recent highlight: A sober symphony of taupe, gray, and mousy brown, its impact is garnered from both the tonal color palette and the expressive architectural interventions. A standout spiral staircase in ivory-white connects the living and kitchen areas with the upper-level bedrooms. (A cream-hued chandelier over the dining table echoes the color and form of the stair.) In the children’s play area, organically shaped built-ins pair with a mustard daybed for a spike of warm spice. Throughout, there is a play of light and shadow, with gently lit spaces for hunkering down transforming into sun-drenched lounges as sunlight is attenuated through delicate blinds and sheers.
