Hong Kong:Graceful Home with Contemporary Chinese Flair

Situated in an area long noted for its excellent schools and tranquil living environment, this impressive penthouse apartment is contemporary yet full of exquisite Chinese Flair.

The designer spares no effort to create this unpretentious and airy home by a rather monochrome palette of white, completed by carefully selected furniture and décor.

Upon entering the living area on teak flooring, one immediately falls into a refreshing off-white world that reveals a pervasive sense of peacefulness. Under the skylight, supporting the clean and tasteful furniture is a pale grey straw mat, on which, a pair of Chinese Ming-style lounge chairs with white high-gloss finish further enhance the feeling of cultivated refinements.

Soft, gentle sunlight seeps in through Chinese-screen-like sliding lattice along a bank of windows and bathes across the living and dining area with lines of shadow, exuding a poetic ambience. Same kind of lattice appears again in the dining room, but transforming into a pair of screens, accompanied by a magnificent Chinese landscape painting in between, becoming an artistic and dramatic focal point. This also forms a backdrop for the simple yet stylish dining table. The result is a refined but intimate space for the diners to enjoy their meals.

In the master bedroom, with clever use of back-lit lighting, a white oak backdrop inspired by traditional screens exudes an air of elegance. A pair of lantern-like glass chandeliers works together with the white high-gloss lacquer finish antique cabinets further underscores the Chinese flair of the space. Echoing with the overall design, white oak timber is largely used in the parents’ room to give a muted palette, while Chinese floral patterns and a splash of orange is added to enrich the visual interests. The daughter’s room is in turquoise tone, where the designer made use of peony motifs to reveal the courtly temperament of the young mistress.

The Designer has subtly placed delicate Chinese elements into this apartment with a contemporary design approach, presenting a forethought and graceful lifestyle.
