Photos by CHESTER ONG winner upscale restaurant ARGO Hong Kong A bright, airy conservatory was the starting point for Argo, the all-day restaurant by AB Concept at the Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong. This idea of a glass-enclosed plant haven is reinforced by the presence of petite terrariums hanging from curved metal frames and artworks featuring insects and butt erfl ies that meld with mirrors in the VIP room. Custom ceramic textured wallpaper and polished nickel silver lend Argo a warm, polished sheen, but it's the bar that's the standout. " The stunning view of the city harbor was the perfect backdrop for the bar area, " says AB Concept cofounder Ed Ng. Here, a chandelier showcasing rippled forms surrounds a pre-existing structural column that was transformed into a shagreen-wrapped backbar with revolving cylinders that gradually open to reveal the collection of rare spirits from around the world. " The level of detail is remarkable. " -HD Awards judges Interior Design Firm AB Concept, Hong Kong Owner and Purchasing Firm Sun Hung Kai Properties Operator Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts
