Behind the facade of a 60-year-old pre-war building is a ground-floor apartment of 1,600 square feet with 800 sq ft of private courtyard. The apartment is at upper Fung Fai Terrace. Many of the features in the apartment are in their original condition, such as the 14-foot wooden floorboards spanning the hallway and living room.
The owner has also retained the timber frames and cast-iron grilles at most of the window and door openings. The windows are more than two metres high, while the ceiling is more than four metres, filling the house with natural light.
The layout is simple and efficient. Facing the entrance is a newly installed modern open-style kitchen, and there are two big bedrooms at the front. The adjoining living and dining area has bi-fold glazing doors leading to a terracotta-tiled courtyard with trees and freshly painted walls. At the back of the apartment is the en suite master bedroom, also looking out on the private courtyard.
