Eden Manor Japanese-Fusion Home, a DecoSpace Interview

The text below is a translation of the original DecoSpace feature.

In December 2025, DecoSpace (MR) interviewed Artwill's Regina Kwok in a feature titled "East Meets East". In space-tight Hong Kong, this roughly 1,300 sq ft flat at Eden Manor in Kwu Tung, Sheung Shui, stands out through a distinctly Japanese sensibility. The team removed a small bedroom and expanded it into a dining room; a glass sliding door separates dining from living while keeping the space open. A pale palette runs from the interior out to the view, blurring the boundary between inside and out.

Japanese details carry through the home: washi-paper-texture pendant lights, a solid-wood dining table, a timber-batten feature wall, a circular wall mural, and a Japanese carved motif on the master headboard. On her leanings, Regina says simply, "I also really love Japanese design." That taste becomes a wabi-sabi attitude in the space, learning to appreciate the imperfect and the irregular, so the dining table drops the usual rectangle for an irregular solid-wood piece.

Being able to source good-value materials from the mainland and overseas, Regina notes, now lets the team hold on to the original design intent rather than compromising to fit. She sees the future of interior design as more pared-back and more human-centred, mindful of pets, the elderly, and family members with limited mobility.

In the end this home is a story about trade-offs. Giving a room over to the dining area lets the family gather more easily; choosing simple lines over busy ornament lets the mind settle. The full project can be seen on its project page.
