Automotive Library
Luxury automobiles are a fine work of art and should be treated accordingly. The Library gives the pieces the respect they deserve. Designed by A Work of Substance for a car enthusiast in Hong Kong, the private showroom occupies two levels of a six-story building. The ground-floor entrance is wrapped in aluminum and features a concrete floor with a security office reminiscent of a vintage Airstream, while two-car elevators go up to a wood-lined lounge. The den displays eight vehicles and features a bar, study, and walls of memorabilia. Aside from the actual cars, nods to the owner's passion are found in the Ferrari-inspired furniture, cabinetry handles like the ones found on a Zagato, and stools designed to look like spark plugs.
