SS亚卓设计丨SS Yazhuo Design丨Tongtang (彤堂序) Preface The Heart of Pearl City, Gathering Anew with Innovation
In the bustling heart of Pearl City, a feast of neo-Chinese aesthetics and Cantonese flavors unfolds. This is the meticulously crafted dining space project by SS Yazhuo Design—Tongtang Xu at the R&F Center.
(彤堂序) Tongtang Xu is precisely such an aesthetic sanctuary—designed to bring together old friends and new companions in the shared celebration of abundant moments.
The Spatial Design Philosophy
Rooted in the profound depths of Eastern philosophy and the distinctive essence of Cantonese culture, Tongtang Xu is a masterclass in bold reinvention. The SS Yazhuo Design team, guided by their ethos—“Honor tradition, dare to innovate”—has meticulously crafted an immersive aesthetic experience.
Leveraging Guangfu aesthetics as the core language, they dissected, purified, and reassembled cultural motifs with architectural precision. The result? A commanding neo-Chinese space where heritage is not merely preserved—it is elevated into a contemporary power play.
Every line, texture, and spatial rhythm asserts a deliberate duality: the quiet authority of tradition colliding with the disruptive energy of modernity. This is design as cultural strategy—a stage where Cantonese identity is both celebrated and redefined for the future.
△ Immersive Digital Gallery
Passing through the cultural gallery, prospective buyers enter the Interactive Media Zone – where property insights transform into an immersive visual narrative.
To reinforce brand recognition, OFT Interiors employed a vibrant moss green hue—a deliberate nod to Emperor Group's corporate colors. Beyond this, the designers curated a palette of organic neutrals to articulate a design philosophy that balances understated sophistication with an organically cultivated lifestyle, embodying the timeless old-money aesthetic.
△ The Private Gallery Walk
Defying conventional sales center logic, the design pioneers a ‘one-flow’ philosophy—where the discreet secondary passage becomes a curated transition, compressing the path to aspiration (show flats) into a singular, frictionless narrative.
Spatial Mastery: Where Architecture Commands Nature
The designers wielded traditional Chinese garden artistry like a strategic weapon—harnessing the ancient technique of "borrowed scenery" (借景) to collapse boundaries between interior and exterior. The outside world doesn’t merely "enter"; it is conquered and curated, forced into the service of the space’s narrative.
This is no passive harmony. It’s a calculated domination of nature—where every framed view, every play of light through screens, asserts control. The illusion of "crafted by man, born of heaven" (虽由人作，宛自天开) isn’t poetic coincidence; it’s a deliberate power move, making even the untamed elements bow to the design’s vision.
Simultaneously, decorative elements strike with precision: lacquered screens, reinvented latticework, and brutalist reinterpretations of classic motifs. The result? A space that doesn’t just have cultural weight—it weaponsizes it, merging dynastic legacy with the relentless edge of now.
Material Alchemy: Where Texture Becomes Authority
The designers didn’t select materials—they orchestrated a rebellion of tactile dominance. Every surface is a calculated provocation:
- Tat Ming wallcoveringsaren’t mere decor; they’re stratified statements of power. Their hyper-pigmented layers and razor-fine textures don’t just "add elegance"—they engineer an environment of controlled opulence, where light conspires with depth to manipulate perception.
- This is tactile seduction at its most ruthless. The interplay of matte and gloss, of woven density against liquid-metal reflections, creates a sensory hierarchy—guests don’t walk through space, they’re processed by it, each material checkpoint reinforcing their immersion in a narrative of uncompromising luxury.
- Even emptiness is weaponized. Negative space isn’t passive; it’s a loaded pause, heightening the impact of each material collision like the silence between gunfire.
