Bacardi-Martini | Asia-Pacific Headquarters

Classic Revival With A Modern Twist

As one of the world’s most beloved spirits brands, Bacardi Martini is renowned for its sophistication and history. When it came to designing the company’s Hong Kong headquarters in Quarry Bay, the obvious hurdle was to create a workspace that embodied the brand’s cool factor while paying homage to its legacy.

Inspired by its rich history, we designed and built a fitted, fully-functioning professional bar, with a bartender, bar stools and lounge-sofa area at the reception. The style is a modern reinterpretation of an Art Deco-period Havana cocktail lounge. This room is an everyday part of the company’s business; the bar acts as a training centre for their mixologists, complete with projector and screen. The workplace is open and collaborative. The meeting rooms are all branded to match one of their five global brands – including a “Bombay Gin Room”, taking inspirations from its iconic, memorable sapphire blue glass bottle and translate that into an architectural material expression.
