House T

House T is in a surrounding of beautiful greeneries and sea in Hong Kong. It is a rare sanctuary for one to be away from the hustle of the city and retreat back in nature. The design aims at offering an indoor/ outdoor experience. The interiors are surrounded with big full height folding doors which can all be opened to bring in outdoor to indoor. Arche form are designed throughout the house which echoes with the building’s arch windows to bring in a holistic design language. With the use of a natural palette such as wood, bamboo, stones and pebbles, the house creates a sense of living in nature.

Social interaction is an essential aspect of the clients’ lifestyle, which is thoughtfully addressed through the inclusion of a custom-built 2.5m x 2.5m kitchen table. This multifunctional table serves as a kitchen counter, breakfast bar, and round dining booth, making it a central hub for entertaining. It invites family and friends to gather for shared meals and culinary experiences, transforming the home into an inviting space for communal gatherings.

Moreover, the clients place great importance on the ritual of cleansing, seeking a holistic experience that ties them closer to nature during their bath. To cater to this preference, the master bedroom features a uniquely positioned bathtub that emphasizes wellness and relaxation. Elevated and seamlessly connected to an outdoor balcony, this area creates a distinct cleansing experience that reinforces the clients’ appreciation for self-care and tranquil spaces. Additionally, the rooftop includes an outdoor shower area that is completely open, further enhancing their connection to nature and providing a refreshing retreat. Through these design elements, House T not only meets the clients' preferences but also enriches their lifestyle, making it a true sanctuary away from the city's demands.
