SEVVA -- New restaurant on Princes Building Penthouse

Designed by Calvin Tsao of Tsao & McKown Architects in New York (awarded in the Hall of Fame in the USA), together with Bonnie Gokson and Team HC in Hong Kong, SEVVA oozes warmth, soul and energy.  Timeless in decor, the restaurant and bar areas exude an air of sophistication. In a class of its own SEVVA mixes masculine with feminine, everyday with ceremonial, industrial with refined and casual with formal.   
    
Weaving throughout the five enclaves, every space has an individual design and feel.  A stunning vertical garden wall plays a key feature in the lounge where vegetation climbs the wall, whilst illustrations by Gladys Perint Palmer adorn the main entrance walk way.
    
Bankside caters to the business and power set with the view of the iconic HSBC headquarters and other financial institutions as a backdrop. Its high walls are home to some of the most coveted pieces of Modern Art.
     Harbourside whispers "easy glam" in shades of ebony, ivory and warm buttercup yellow.  With an unique domed ceiling designed by Australian lighting artist, Ruth McDermott, a baby grand piano and casual seating the mood here is warm and relaxing.  The menu completes this vibe with a combination of hearty international home favourites made with top quality ingredients. 
    
Taste Bar is cutting edge, industrial and modern, transforming itself by clever lighting from a bento box bar at lunch time to a suave cocktail lounge by evening, perfect for sipping decadent cocktails and small bites late into the night. 
    
The Terrace, which overlooks the entire panorama of Hong Kong's skyline, promises to be the best "chill out" zone in Hong Kong. Comfortable outdoor lounge seating makes you feel right at home.
    
The "Easy Glam" ambience throughout reflects Gokson's persona of effortless impeccable style. Her choice of colours and fabulous interior design touches show her vibrant, elegant personality.
    
World renowned architect Calvin Tsao, the co-founder of award winning Tsao & McKown Architects work his magic on the Princes Building Penthouse and with his reputation for transforming complex buildings into memorable spaces. SEVVA presented a real challenge as it was necessary to transform what used to be an office into another of his architectural marvels.
    
Tsao has a vast range of design experience in international and domestic projects ranging from high fashion boutiques and hotels, to urban design and large commercial and residential developments.  One of his projects includes Suntec City, a six million square foot mixed-used complex in Singapore which won him the Prix d'Excellence Award in 1997 for construction excellence.
