Central has always offered food, drinks, dance floors and wellness all within several paces of one another, but H Code's newest tenant is looking to go one step further. Carbon is a new 8,000-square-foot venue crowning the vertical development that combines all these concepts into a space spread over two floors.

Spearheaded by Cookie DPT founder Wil Fang, beverage consultant Chanel Adams, and Charlz Ng, co-founder of Hybrid Group, Carbon—so named after the element that forms the building block for all life—offers vertiginous views of Tai Kwun, the Mid-Levels and Victoria Harbour from within a spartan, all-black interior that is designed to cater to guests from morning to late night.

In addition to circadian lighting, the modular, hydraulic-enabled furniture can be quickly transformed from a restaurant set-up to a lounge format to accommodate drinks gatherings and music performances. Meanwhile, a 2,600-square-foot rooftop can hold anything from morning yoga sessions to outdoor movie screenings against the backdrop of the city.
