Hang Lung Properties Shared Office (Net-Work)

Situated in the heart of Hong Kong’s prestigious Central District, the Hang Lung Properties Shared Office occupies two prime floors within the landmark Standard Chartered Building. The project reimagines what a premium shared workspace can be — offering flexibility, high-end finishes, and a hospitality-inspired experience for discerning startups, boutique firms, and multinational companies seeking a core Central address with adaptable leasing options. The design draws inspiration from Central’s rich commercial history, blending contemporary aesthetics with subtle heritage references. Visitors are welcomed by a feature logo wall crafted in fine wood, abstractly mapping the topography of Central. This design gesture fosters a tactile and visual connection to the city’s layered cultural and urban fabric. Immediately beyond, a central lounge functions as both a day-to-day amenity hub and an event-ready venue, featuring a marble countertop, beer tap, refrigerator, and water dispenser. This space sets the tone for a refined, lifestyle-oriented work environment capable of hosting high-end product launches, charity events, and corporate seminars. To maintain cost-efficiency while preserving elegance, the original staircase was retained and upgraded with refined curves and premium wood finishes, transforming it into a centerpiece. The under-stair void was smartly converted into informal collaboration areas, optimizing spatial utility. The layout prioritizes flexibility, incorporating an innovative three-tier partition system with installations above the ceiling and below the raised floor. This allows for quick reconfiguration with minimal disruption and enhanced acoustic insulation — providing privacy without sacrificing openness. Differentiating features include advanced lighting control systems for personalized ambiance and energy savings, high-performance acoustic design for comfort, and a curated material palette that speaks to Central’s upscale character. Sustainability was embedded into the project from the start: reclaimed wood was used throughout the welcome zone; Shaw Contract carpets with low-emission certifications ensure superior indoor air quality; and environmentally conscious flooring adhesives were replaced with double-sided tape to reduce harmful VOC emissions. This is more than a workspace — it’s a premium, sustainable, and future-ready environment that elevates shared office design to a new lifestyle standard in one of Asia’s most exclusive business districts.
