f22 foto space is a one-of-a-kind cultural hub in Hong Kong dedicated to photography and design. The foto space offers exhibition, a photo book shop, a Leica camera boutique and a lovely cafe. A black-painted camera documents its interaction with the photographer; similarly, f22 documents its interaction with time and people. The design team used brass as the main material to fabricate the door and the stair and painted them in black. Over time, the black paint would be worn off, revealing the brass underneath. To create a cinematic entrance, we studied camera development and used design elements from various generations of camera lens to design the door. The aperture at the ceiling controls the amount of light at the entrance space. We worked closely our with engineers to translate camera elements into structural elements. Inspired by camera aperture, the circular staircase plays with light, shadow and speed. The two galleries are in black and white, forming a dialogue between the two floors. Café 22 offers a nice gathering place for cultural activities. It has an exhibition space for budding photographers to organize their first exhibition. There will be regular Friday nights and weekend events. A mirror is installed behind the counter, visitors can watch the baristas perform. There is a square table in the middle of the café for visitors to gather and talk about photography and design.
