ANYONE who has wondered what residential space worth $10,000 per square foot would look like should take a stroll down Plantation Road.
At No. 52, they will see a vision in modern Greco-Roman architecture, complete with cherub-encrusted fountain and ornate tiling.
From the palm tree-lined avenue which sweeps gracefully down to the forecourt, past the fountain to the hexagonal swimming pool, this small complex of eight houses is novel in Hong Kong.
In building a development like Abergeldie, construction company Playmates was striving for a certain style. The result: unlikely, but pleasing.
Having passed the fountain, strategically placed for maximum fung shui value, several sets of cream-tiled steps lead to the imposing front doors.
However, most residents will probably enter their houses through the underground car park and take the internal stairs in each house.
The front door leads into a combined living and dining area. Extending the length of one side and stretching out in front is what the agent calls a garden. In reality, it is a wonderful balcony covered in cream tiles, with extra space at the side.
