AP House, designed by Johnny Li, has been honored with the Bronze A' Design Award 2025 for its unique blend of Swiss Alpine inspiration and Macanese heritage, redefining luxury social club spaces in Macao with a modern, understated approach and advanced technology integration.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AP House, the latest project by acclaimed designer Johnny Li, has been recognized with the Bronze A' Design Award 2025 in the Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design category. Located in Macao, this exclusive social club house was conceived through a competitive design process, challenging Li's studio to merge the serene grandeur of a Swiss Alpine chalet with the rich colonial heritage of Macao's seaside. The result is a sophisticated, inviting space that balances vast, tall-ceilinged interiors with an intimate, cozy atmosphere, catering to the world's most discerning clientele.
Guided by the concept of "Tracing Time," the design draws inspiration from the intricate mechanics of horology and the cultural synergy between Le Brassus and Macao. Every detail, from 3D-printed architectural elements to custom bronze-cast bamboo accents and Italian-crafted wenge dining tables, reflects a commitment to craftsmanship and innovation. The house's understated luxury is complemented by seamless technology, with lighting, audio, visual, and climate systems all controlled via a single iPad, ensuring both comfort and elegance for guests.
AP House is more than a venue; it is an experience curated for Audemars Piguet's most sophisticated patrons. By invitation only, guests enjoy amenities such as a bar, fine dining with Michelin-starred chefs, watchmaking master classes, and a DJ/music station. Extensive research into the histories of Audemars Piguet, Le Brassus, and Macao informed the design, while overcoming creative and regulatory challenges ensured the space remains timeless, refined, and free from clichés. This award-winning project sets a new benchmark for luxury social club design, celebrating both heritage and forward-thinking innovation.
