Inspired by the cinematic language of classic Hong Kong cinema, The House of Encounters reimagines the timeless Peranakan house as a stage for arrival, encounter and connection. A grand central staircase, open balconies and layered thresholds choreograph movement through the space, while folding timber doors and textured glass create moments of discovery. Rooted in Peranakan heritage and Chinese courtyard living, the design transforms everyday dining into a quiet theatre of hospitality.
