Sands Corporation & Alan Chan Design were the winners of the Restaurant – Asia Pacific Award in The International Hotel and Property Awards 2022.

Conceived by world-class interior designer Alan Chan, whose philosophy was to create a seamless integration of art and culture into every space. Each of the unique and very different “rooms” as you progress through the space within The Residence represent a unique characteristic, inspired by famous British personalities – Charles Darwin, Paul Smith, Charles Saatchi, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Winston Churchill.

In a typical manor house, the front parlour is the Reception Hall and show place where guests first arrive. The reception area, an equivalent to a front parlour, is decorated with a mix of vintage and contemporary artworks to establish the unique personality all of its own. Pre- and post- theatre dining became an important part of the theatre tradition in London. Leaning into that tradition, the main dining area is where guests can enjoy a vast array of food and beverage. The décor resonates a cosy and stylish dining experience.

The gentlemanly manner is an intangible part of British heritage. The Bar within The Residence comprises the characteristics of a private club, still very popular in London today. This space is where one could imagine Winston Churchill enjoying a whiskey whilst writing his fictional novel. Curiosity objects are often collected for pleasure in a typical British household. A collection of vintage teacups and vintage tin toy collections are displayed in the transitional space adding to the homey ambiance.

The Design Brief afforded the opportunity to convert a blank canvas within a retail corridor immediately adjacent to the premier Paiza Gaming salons, into a new high-end destination F&B space within The Londoner development. The remit was challenging from many aspects, especially how best to gracefully carve out the lounge, restaurant, and bar spaces, taking guests on an experiential journey of London style and sophistication.
