Located in Southern District, The Upper South is one of the latest Henderson Land's residential projects. We, ASA Tiles, are honoured to participate and supplied premium quality tiles for the units.
Every floor's lift lobbies and corridors use ASA Tiles' Soft-Polished Marble Tiles.
The tiles gently deflect the light. Such effect and their detailed pattern built a grand-looking lobby.
Inside the unit, ASA Tiles' Timber Tiles were used as the floor tiles. Our Timer Tiles were designed based on actual timber, resembling the natural texture. They bring that unique warmth to the space, yet they have superior functionality than wooden floorboards.
Marble tiles were used for kitchen wall, combining with white countertop. The smooth marble tiles are easy to clean, and at the same time adds another visual element to the unit which used timber floor tiles as the main feature.
In the bathroom, our Marble Tiles were also used. The white colour brings a clean feeling while the marble pattern subtly decorates the space.

01-asa-tiles-sintered-stone-terrazzo-Vibes Lane Noodle(Banner)
Featuring Hong Kong style cuisine, Lane Noodles opened their new branch in Causeway Bay. The restaurant's interior design is inspired by traditional Hong Kong sidewalk snack booth. From the eye-catching red lampshade, to the menu board, the environment is full of 60s icons.
The red lampshade and the warm light act as a fine touch environment, yet what really set the tone to the restaurant is the tessera hexagon artistic small tiles. That vintage vibes brings the customers back to the good-old days.
The small tiles were delivered as sheets for easy laying and the outcome is excellent. Black-and-white tessera combination is an all-time classic.

Authentic Donburi restaurant from Osaka, Don Don Tei, set foot in Causeway bay.
The designer used Japanese-style decoration, like the floating-world printing of the wall and minoyaki porcelain plates. On the floor, ASA Tiles' VersaTiles series products were used.
The dark-grey colour and sandstone pattern run through the surface and body of each tile, together with the fine matte finish, created beauty from its simplicity. The tiles matched the wooden floor and overall Japanese-style design. Their high slip-resistance also works well with the space.
The continental café Oliver’s Super Sandwiches opened their new branch in Causeway Bay. The café is decorated tin vintage style, with beige small tiles and teal print on the wall, and ASA Tiles' artistic tiles on the floor.
That classic black-and-white diamond pattern set a vintage tone for the café. Artistic tiles can always create a sense of nostalgia and unique charm.

Dark-grey base, together with the curve-strip pattern, bring a gentle and natural feeling to the space, echoing with the Japanese-style positioned supermarket.
Show your unique design on tiles with Inkjet or Silk-Screen Printing.
Wanting to show your characters and ideas that couldn't be presented by tile patterns? Let us reveal the hidden magic of tiles. With tiles processing, you can combine different texture, colours to present your design. Creating lines and depth with cutting and collage to enrich visual elements.
Artistic Cutting and Collage
Using waterjet cutting, visual elements are no longer limited by the inherent frame of tiles. With a clean blueprint, we can cut the tiles into any shapes and sizes.
On site, the workers only need to install the modular tiles according to the labels, then the pictures will appear.
3D collage
By adding height difference to tiles, depth and layers can be created.

Texture Collage
Collaging not only can create lines and shapes, but also can play with contrast by combining texture.
Metal Embedding
Terrazzo Relief
The relief on terrazzo can create a visual focal point.
Curved Terrazzo Relief
Tile Low-Relief
Low relief can create subtle lines on tiles, adding another layer of visual element.

Various processing can lead to completely different styles.
Other than the above mentioned processing, other methods like Inkjet Printing, Silk-Screen Printing and Emboss Spot UV Printing could also allow you to release your creativity and craft your own artistic space.
01-asa-tiles-sintered-stone-terrazzo-MCL The Cyberport’s Visual(banner)
MCL Cyberport's design focuses on delivering the sense of future and technology, as the cinema is a part of Cyberport community. The cinema uses bright colours, creating contrast with the cold cement structure of Cyberport.
Upon entering the cinema, the strips which run through the narrow ceiling quickly draw the visitors into this futuristic space. On floor, ASA Tiles products were used to adopt the whole design.
Designer used marble tiles and sandstone tiles. They formed pattern with their colours and at the same time, enriched the visual space by allowing light to be reflected differently on the polished and matte surfaces. For the marble tiles, the designer chose the Soft-Polished tiles which deflect light gently and created uniform lighting for the space.
The designer went beyond the colours and texture. With artistic collage, strips were formed with tiles, echo with the ceiling strip design.
Most people have the impression that tile Collage would be difficult to install. Actually, that's not the case. After we cut the tiles according to the blueprint, we will piece the cut tiles into standard size tiles and label them. The workers only need to follow the labels and install the tiles, then the picture could be formed with ease.

From the classic combination of black and gold, to the fossil-like layered surface, ASA Quartz Stone Series reintroduced the charm and depth of natural stone with modern aesthetic and technology.
And this time, its beauty is yours to define.
From the colours on the base, to size and types of chips, or even how the light shines and blooms within the stone, you can create your desired quartz stone to your liking.
Quartz stone’s rich colours and timeless texture make it a fitting choice for different design. Its high hardness also makes it a more versatile materials.
We all know how important it is to pick the ideal tiles. But have you ever thought that choosing the right laying pattern can change the overall spatial perception of your house?
If you want to make a room in your house look more spacious, you need to choose the pattern of tiles that could create your desired visual effect. This is where the art of tiles plays the bigger role in terms of house design. It is particularly decisive in Hong Kong since our living space is generally limited and we certainly want to get the most out of our decoration.
Vertical When using rectangular tiles, laying them vertically can draw our eyes further into the room, creating the illusion of higher walls and ceilings, or just because you desire a daring new look. Room with a low ceiling but a wider floor space is suit this option to open up more space vertically. Use large format tiles instead of many small tiles, as having many grout joints can make the space feel more cramped. It’s also better to lay them without offsetting the grout joints of surrounding tiles for the same purpose.
Horizontal Horizontal tiles laying will give a wider look. If you have a limited floor space but a tall bathroom, you might like to choose this option. It will visually open up the space, giving you the illusion that the space is wider and longer than it actually is. But the effect may not be as noticeable if you use large format tiles with narrow grout joints. If you want the effect to be more exaggerated try putting horizontal feature lines with mosaics. Other options include contrasting colour tiles.
One more tip, when using lengthy tiles, we suggest applying offset pattern, instead of brick bond pattern, in order to avoid any tile lippage.
Diagonal Diagonal tile will give a distinct look and enhance the visual space of the room altogether. A diagonal tile layout is not just acceptable but can be preferable in a bathroom or another small room. They make room imperfections less noticeable to the naked eye, thus enhancing the aesthetics of any small room. While it’s true that a diagonal tile layout requires a bit more effort to install, it does make the extra labour feel that much more rewarding.

There are other type of tiles which the cutting process is more complex but has an elegant design.
Herringbone The herringbone pattern is an arrangement of rectangles and mostly used for floor, walls and road pavement. When laying the herringbone pattern we need certain angle to cut at a 45° so that the corner is right against the edge. Using this as a starting point and using tile spacers to ensure consistent grout joints, the herringbone pattern should fall nicely into place.
Pinwheel Pinwheel Pattern is a pattern that requires four rectangles to meet, creating a spinning pinwheel motif. One large square tile will be placed diagonally, then four smaller square tiles will be placed near the corners, repeating the pattern throughout. This can cause for an extremely loud floor, therefore is commonly used in showers or on borders of spaces.

Chevron The chevron pattern is another trendy look that will add movement and focus to the space. While the diagonal, zigzagging lines hearken back to the more traditional herringbone pattern, more lively interpretation offered up by the chevron pattern makes an old space look younger and more modern without sacrificing any of the practical benefits provided by more traditional tile patterns.
As ASA Tiles flourishes, we also actively engage in many activities. We hope to make contribution to cultivating the talents and development of our industry.
Earlier, we were invited to give students from PolyU Design School a field study class in our showroom.
Students learnt not only the highlight and development of current tiles products, but also some of the latest trendy interior design products materials.
We used the design and equipment of our showroom to demonstrate how to select the right products for customer, which revealed a lot of details in creating the best interior design.
