Leung positioned a sofa from Minotti to face the “mesmerising” view, along with a rug designed by Leung’s team and brought to life by Yarns. It features gradual hues of blue, which the designer says “merges with the seaview”. 

Meanwhile, a series of burnished brass pendant lights by Henge hang in the dining room, which enhances the “sense of floating.” They act as “the idiosyncratic centrepiece,” says Leung, and are juxtaposed against the calming light oak palette used throughout the entire lower floor.

As well as the sofa, coffee table, side table, armchair and ottoman in the living room are sourced from Minotti. The sleek marble dining table comes from Cattelan Italia, while the chairs are by Poliform. Along with the lights in the dining room, the Luceplan wall lamp adds ambience, with warm-toned lighting throughout the space.

Some major layout changes were made to the upstairs area, which is where the bedrooms are located.

The original master bedroom and ensuite bathroom were demolished in order to create bigger versions of both. Wood and beige tones dominate the master bedroom, which comes complete with extensive built-in closets—an enviable feature in space-starved Hong Kong. The bed in the master comes from Minotti. 

For most of the year, the client lives here alone, although family visits from overseas often. This inspired Leung to craft a nook upstairs in a space that may otherwise be unused.

“We love the corridor space that connects the master bedroom and the two bedrooms, which we converted into a long and intimate family lounge area with a pantry,” she explains. A pair of armchairs from Artflex were placed here—the goal, says Leung, is to “to encourage communication and interaction.”

Aside from the lounge, the upstairs is a space where Leung envisions “one would enjoy solitude,” says Leung. A dark wood veneer, as well as geometrical-patterned wallpaper, are selected to provide a “sense of security” in the midst of the panoramic ocean view. Heavy, textured drapery is installed for privacy. 

The most challenging part of the project, notes Leung, are the two terraces. One is adjacent to the living room, while the other is located near the kitchen at the back of the home.

The front terrace was transformed into a “cosy haven” with the addition of lush greenery and atmosphere lighting from Belgian lighting company Delta—great for “moments of solitude with a glass of whisky,” adds the designer. The terrace at the back is now equipped with a barbecue grill, plus Paola Lenti outdoor furniture.

“This is a home in which to truly enjoy life,” reflects Leung—both “in solitude, or with family.”
