Sevva, Hong Kong
Sevva is a rooftop restaurant/club on the 25-th floor penthouse of the Prince’s Building in Hong Kong with a breathtaking views of the city harbor. The native Calvin Taso says ‘ We Chinese eat all the time. Nibbles, snacks, power breakfasts, late breakfasts, lunch tea, drinks.’In my opinion Sevva is a real social hub with unique interior and vast establishment, giving its several restaurants and bars a relaxed elegance. Sevva offers the Taste bar for drinks, live music and tapas. The bars clear acrylic klismos chairs, vintage finds, have jewel-toned pony skin upholstery for punch. Moroccan style cushions, covered in equally vibrant skills, from a banquette that stretches 30 feet. Old bank chairs are upholstered in tufted baby blue silk, and a back-to-back sofa had its oak legs hand carved and gold-flecked in London. I would say ‘It costs an arm and a leg’.
For ultimate power lunch, there is the Bank Side restaurant adorned with images and magnificent banks. The dinning room’s custom furnishings include a stained-oak table and benches and a wool rug. High wall are filled with some of the most coveted pieces of Modern Art featuring works from world renowned photographer Candida Hoffer.
The best place for a relaxed drink is the long and narrow Lounge with its live garden wall. Casually elegant meals can be enjoyed under the vaulted ceiling of the Harbor Side restaurant. The owner of Sevva is Bonnie Gokson, whose reputation in the world of branding and fashion has helped Sevva gain lots of attention.
Gokson loves art and drama, so it is no wonder she chose Tsao & McKown Architects to transform the 1960s mixed-use Prince’s Building space into the dramatic Sevva environment.
Fresh vertical gardens energizes the spirit of the Lounge area. The light streaming from the floor to ceilings windows complement the soft colors of the furnishing. The music selection harmonize more and more the lounge. This is just a spot to savour a good life…
