From architecture to sculpture, interiors to installations, Leung and his team approach each project as an opportunity to push materials beyond their traditional boundaries.

Leung’s philosophy centres on translating abstract concepts into tangible spaces through “simple geometries, pure forms, and disciplined material choices.” This approach is exemplified in their Tiramisu with Jazz residential project, where the Italian dessert’s layered indulgence inspired a 2,200-square-foot apartment featuring custom cocoa-brown oak veneers and pioneering travertine stone cabinets. Rather than using stone merely as cladding, Leung explains, “We crafted the cabinets using travertine, turning a traditionally decorative material into a functional piece of furniture.”

The firm’s multidisciplinary background profoundly shapes its residential work. “Rooted in architecture, our expertise equips us to approach every scale with confidence—from macro urban contexts to micro details,” Leung notes. This architectural foundation enabled the team to develop a custom aluminium- bamboo composite for their Growing Tree installation, achieving dramatic 10-meter spans while maintaining organic elegance.

For Leung, luxury transcends visual appeal to embrace multisensory engagement. In the Seaside Sanctuary project, expansive folding doors “open completely to welcome natural breezes, sunlight, and the gentle songs of birds,” while a rooftop Zen garden with an outdoor bathing area creates what he calls “sensory comfort that delights not only the eyes but all five senses.”

This holistic approach reflects Leung’s core belief that “everyday practical needs often spark our most creative material explorations, and thoughtful, function- driven experimentation turns limitations into elegant, lasting design solutions”—a philosophy that continues to drive Kirin+Lab’s boundary-pushing work across disciplines.
