FIOworks: Where Heritage Meets Innovation in Wilkinson & Grist’s 140-Year Legacy
For over a century, Wilkinson & Grist has stood as a pillar of Hong Kong’s legal landscape. Now, as the firm marks its 140th anniversary, it unveils a head office that mirrors its ethos: where tradition and progress converge. Spanning 1,500 square meters across one and a quarter floors in the iconic Great Eagle Centre, the headquarters space—designed by FIOworks—is a study in intentionality. Every material, sightline, and artifact tell a story of heritage, craftsmanship, and the firm’s role in Hong Kong’s journey from colonial outpost to global financial hub. With a narrative woven in marble, oak, and light, the design reflecting the firm’s legacy while redefining what a modern workplace can be.

It’s a tapestry of everyday street life, the understated opulence of East-West fusion, and that unique Haipai charm that reveals itself slowly over time.
