Marina South 南區左岸

The text below is a translation of the original Home Journal feature.

The 1,870-square-foot Marina South unit carries a light-industrial style with an elegant, modern air.

The owners had lived abroad, where their home followed a pared-back industrial look, and back in Hong Kong they wanted to continue that free, unconstrained way of living. Artwill Interior Design reworked the original four bedrooms into two: the master bedroom is divided by a fully retractable sliding door and the bathroom is screened in glass, so when only the couple is home it can all be opened up to take in the wide harbour view from every corner, making the home feel freer, more fluid and more transparent.

The open plan, with glass partitions between zones, draws in as much daylight as possible. An irregular louvred light cove in the lounge ceiling mimics a skylight, letting the centrally-placed lounge see daylight again.

Opening up the living room, bedroom and master bathroom made the spaces feel more open, but raised a question of privacy. The team set a cement-finished sliding door between living room and master bedroom; broad and merging seamlessly with the wall, it divides the space while keeping it private and in keeping with the home's architectural mood. The master bathroom uses electro-dimming glass that switches from clear to frosted at the touch of a button.

To bring the outside in, the team boldly finished the walls in raw cement, echoing the seams and regularly-spaced round holes of bare-concrete architecture, and used black steel frames and solid timber to answer the owners' love of an industrial look. Colour and line stay crisp and clean: walls, floor and built-in joinery all favour sharp horizontal and vertical lines that chime with the building's minimal structure.
