With Hong Kong starchitects Ed Ng and Terence Ngan at its helm, AB Concept has a glittering portfolio. Previous crowd-pleasing projects include five-star hotels and luxurious restaurant fit-outs across the globe. In designing W Residences Algarve, the team took inspiration from the scenic Algarve setting. Interiors vibrantly interpret the local landscapes and its culture: its history, people, patterns, folk traditions and characteristic architecture. Colours, shapes and materials reflect the influence of the nearby Atlantic: cork and wood furniture is complemented by high-gloss glass and vivid splashes of blue, teal, gold and green. Fused with this natural look and feel is the high-energy style that W has made its own. Design-wise, this translates to a series of surprises, from secret alcoves and unexpected shapes to vivid colour collisions and contrasting fabrics. ‘The W brand has a very distinct DNA, which is ubiquitously present among various hotel brands, especially when we want to weave the dynamic, modern, and playful W experience into a resort setting’, says Ed Ng, Co-founder and Principal of AB Concept. ‘A high-energy and pulsating lifestyle, situated within the dazzling coastline of Albufeira.’ Residents and guests are invited to let the different design narratives unfold around them naturally. Follow pathways that lead to new spaces and prompt different moods, admire asymmetrical forms that mimic the nearby cliffs and notice various visual expressions of Portuguese culture, including hand-painted azulejos and latticed ceramic dishware. It’s the Algarve – reinterpreted by W.
