Creating a sleek, modern Hong Kong home for designers with feng shui design elements
For the homeowners – both industrial designers – finding the right interior designer to renovate their Clear Water Bay flat was half the battle won
After a Mother’s Day lunch in Clear Water Bay last year, industrial designers Vivian Lim and William Cheung extended the happy occasion with a spur-of-the moment decision to view flats in a new development nearby. Several months later the couple were the owners of a 1,200 sq ft, three-bedroom unit at Mount Pavilia.
“We had never wanted to buy a new place because they are not really [space] efficient,” says Lim, who had been flat-hunting for her family of three for more than a year. “We wanted an older building in a proper housing estate but just couldn’t find anything suitable.”
“We did tell Dylan it was going to be a nightmare project for him because we are both designers but it went smoothly,” says Lim of the three-month renovation, which included new lighting and custom cabinetry throughout the flat but left the kitchen and bathrooms largely untouched.
The couple and their 12-year-old daughter moved in at the end of last year.
