‘I’ll be home for Christmas’ says Hong Kong’s globe-trotting H Queen’s architect William Lim
After spending his time working on projects all over the world that include Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands and most recently a mansion in the United States, no wonder his favourite Christmas song is about being at home for the holidays
Well-known architect and artist William Lim founded CL3 Architects more than 20 years ago. Today it has a notable presence across the globe.
His studio’s portfolio includes architectural and interior projects for hotels, restaurants, retail, corporate, residences and art-installation design, his most famous being Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, The Park Lane Hong Kong and, more recently, H Queen’s, also in Hong Kong.
One of his sons has followed in his footsteps, and is also a notable architect.
Lately, I have been doing ... architecture for two resort hotels in mainland China and a huge mansion in the United States, so lots of travelling.
Describe yourself in three words ... art, architecture, art.
To me, Christmas means ... a time of sharing and reconciliation.
This Christmas, my wish list is ... there will be less trash in our ocean.
My favourite place to spend Christmas is ... home.
My favourite Christmas song is I’ll be Home for Christmas.
My New Years resolution is ... to be very selective with my projects.
