Set within the heritage-listed Pedder Arcade, The Whisky Library blends old-world charm with refined, contemporary design. Inspired by traditional reading rooms, the interior offers an intimate, gallery-like environment where whisky is displayed and experienced like rare literature.
A central tasting island anchors the space, surrounded by custom-curved shelving and warm oak paneling, paired with brushed metal details and whisky-toned carpeting. Thoughtfully integrated lighting enhances product visibility while creating an inviting glow.
The project was delivered on time despite complex site constraints, including heritage restrictions and high-end retail neighbours. Enochdeco worked closely with Collective Studio to bring the technical design to life with precision and care. This marks the second successful collaboration with The Whisky Library and Collective Studio, reinforcing a shared commitment to craftsmanship, storytelling, and elevated retail experiences. At Pedder Arcade, whisky is not just sold—it’s celebrated.
문화유산으로 지정된 페더 아케이드(Pedder Arcade)에 자리 잡은 위스키 라이브러리(The Whisky Library)는 고풍스러운 매력과 세련되고 현대적인 디자인이 조화를 이룹니다. 전통적인 서재에서 영감을 받은 내부는 마치 희귀 서적처럼 위스키를 전시하고 경험할 수 있는 갤러리 같은 아늑한 분위기를 선사합니다.
중앙에 위치한 테이스팅 아일랜드는 맞춤형 곡선 선반과 따뜻한 오크 패널, 브러시드 메탈 디테일, 위스키 톤 카펫으로 공간을 더욱 돋보이게 합니다. 세심하게 통합된 조명은 제품 가시성을 높이고 매력적인 분위기를 연출합니다.
문화유산 관련 규제와 고급 매장 인근 등 복잡한 부지 제약에도 불구하고 프로젝트는 예정대로 완료되었습니다. Enochdeco는 Collective Studio와 긴밀히 협력하여 정밀하고 세심하게 기술 설계를 구현했습니다. 이는 위스키 라이브러리와 Collective Studio의 두 번째 성공적인 협업으로, 장인 정신, 스토리텔링, 그리고 더욱 향상된 리테일 경험에 대한 공동의 의지를 더욱 강화합니다. 페더 아케이드에서 위스키는 단순히 판매되는 것이 아니라 기념되는 것입니다.

CONCEPT & DESIGN INTENT
Nestled within the heritage walls of Pedder Arcade, this whisky retail and tasting space reimagines the spirit of discovery through its architectural design. The brief was to create a refined, immersive environment where rare whiskies could be browsed, appreciated, and discussed—like a library of spirits. Inspired by traditional reading rooms and collectors’ salons, the interior blends warm materiality with crisp geometry and atmospheric lighting.
SPATIAL STRATEGY / PLANNING LOGIC
A rhythmic arcade of arched glazing provides a strong visual draw into the space, projecting a rich, amber glow into the corridor. Internally, the layout flows naturally around a central tasting island, flanked by gently curved shelving walls that both maximize visibility and create an enveloping sense of intimacy. Staff areas and service zones are discreetly tucked behind the central display axis, allowing for seamless interaction with guests.

MATERIALITY & DETAILING
Natural oak paneling envelopes the space in warmth, counterbalanced by brushed metal counters and shelving that evoke precision and craftsmanship.
A continuous band of LED-lit shelving enhances label legibility and creates depth. Whisky-toned carpeting softens acoustics while introducing a tactile comfort. Rounded detailing and tailored fixtures lend a gallery-like serenity to the space.
PROJECT GOALS & OUTCOMES
The project was completed on schedule and has become a celebrated example of architectural branding, delivering a high-end, sensorial retail destination that reinforces The Whisky Library’s cultural position. The seamless collaboration between Collective Studio and Enochdeco ensured both design fidelity and construction precision.
COLLABORATION & CONSTRAINTS
Situated in a heritage-listed location within Hong Kong’s most prestigious retail zone, the project faced tight physical and regulatory constraints. From early-stage coordination with building management to stringent control of noise and dust during construction, every step required meticulous planning.
Collective Studio’s design featured an ambitious material and detailing palette, including custom-curved metalwork and integrated lighting, making execution highly technical. Special thanks go to Jay and his team for their clarity and professionalism, which enabled smooth yet demanding site implementation.
Despite logistical hurdles, including after-hours delivery coordination and sensitive neighbouring tenants, the build was completed to a high standard, on time, and with minimal disruption to the surrounding environment.
