Collaboration with landscape artists and art creators for a cultured city oasis
To meet the lifestyle preferences of young connoisseurs, TOWNPLACE SOHO collaborated with young art creators Kristopher Ho and Parents Parents to create a city oasis by bringing unique art pieces to the indoor living space. Inspired by the city view and the natural characteristics of the Central and Sheung Wan districts, their creations add a cultured touch to Duo Social Space. A QR virtual tour introduces the artworks and brings out the charm of the SoHo neighbourhood.
Kristopher Ho is famous for his bold style and detailed sketching. Using a Bornean orangutan and an American flamingo from the Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens as inspiration, he created magnificent wall paintings for Duo Social Space. Street art collective Parents Parents created abstract 3D paintings with inspiration from Duddell Street Steps, gas lamps and other features in the Central and Sheung Wan districts.
In addition to cultural pursuits, millennials are green-living advocates. TOWNPLACE SOHO collaborated with a landscape artist to curate a city oasis in Duo Social Space.

“Adhering to the Group’s beliefs and understanding the young generation’s pursuit of a quality lifestyle, we invited art creators and a landscape artist to collaborate to create a cultured space. While they enjoy the features of Hong Kong, the nature-inspired paintings and greeneries allow residents to relieve their stress and stay indulged. To enhance the homey feel, we converted some sections into green areas to better shape a relaxing oasis life for the new generation,” said Elee Lee, Assistant General Manager of Signature Homes, SHKP.
