HOUSES
HAVE STORIES
TO TELL

Art is about human experiences. It’s something that is quite personal, but it can be very universal as well.

Senior Marketing Manager, Swire Hotels

Art and culture are at the core of who we are as a brand. It captures the spirit of The House Collective – an openness to the world, to different local and global cultures and expressions of individuality. Each House tells its story through its design, cultural experiences and carefully curated art pieces as well as our art programme ‘Encounters Across Cultures.’

Our Art Programme

Encounters Across Cultures 2021

At The House Collective, we believe that incredible creativity comes from crossing cultures. Encounters Across Cultures is our biennial art programme where we invite artists from different backgrounds to collaborate.

With this year's team of creators spanning dance, interactive design and more, we present an exploration of space and movement at each of our Houses.

The programme paired Swiss artist Katja Loher with local creators to design immersive and evolving installations in each House.
