Office

plusClover is a Hong Kong-based design firm led by Clover Lee. Since establishing the firm as davidclovers in 2007, Clover and her team has approached each project with thoughtful research and innovative capabilities. The firm’s diverse portfolio ranges from residential interiors and retail design that reflect an alternative luxury to public art installations and buildings marked by a unique visual identity. Favoring collaboration, plusClover pulls together talent and expertise for projects of all scales and sectors across Asia and the United States.

Since relocating from Los Angeles in 2009, the firm has completed over 20 wide-ranging projects for private, commercial and institutional clients in the region. plusClover’s award-winning residential project in Repulse Bay, Hong Kong, for The Hongkong & Shanghai Hotels is their largest to date, which includes a comprehensive tower renovation, two pools, play area, café, and a number of lobbies. On the other end of the scale is Butterfly House, a small, colorful residence on a 22-acre lot located in rural Pennsylvania, which was a creative collaboration from the project’s conception with the owners, two artists who work in vibrant colors. A soon-to-be unveiled project with Hong Kong’s railway operator, the MTR Corporation, is the renovation of the inter-platform stairwell at Admiralty Station, a key interchange stop. Part of the MTR’s “Art in MTR” initiative, the interactive installation, which is made up of Morse and QR codes, is designed to encourage play and interaction to capture the spirit of the MTR and to allude to Admiralty’s history as a naval base.

The firm’s work have won several international awards, been exhibited at leading arts institutions and in significant group exhibitions including the Venice, Beijing and Korean Biennales. Prototypes of Lunar House, a groundbreaking exploration into building materials, have been included in Hong Kong’s M+ Architecture Collection, the first architecture collection in Hong Kong and Asia.
