Village House & Villa Interior Design in Hong Kong

Hong Kong village house and villa renovation, read from New Territories zoning outwards

Artwill's village house and villa projects are concentrated in the New Territories, including Sai Kung, Clearwater Bay, Yuen Long, Tuen Mun, Tai Po, and Ma On Shan. The design strategy for village houses differs entirely from urban apartments: village houses have standalone land, 3 storeys plus rooftop with front and back yards, and require handling rural New Territories zoning and Lands Department small-house compliance. An Authorised Person (AP) is engaged as an external consultant per project to review the compliance of all proposed alterations before the project begins. Structurally, a typical Hong Kong small house is 700 sqft x 3 storeys (ground floor, first floor, second floor), with some including a 700 sqft rooftop and 200 to 400 sqft front and back yards. Our small-house projects commonly involve converting the ground floor into a garage and entry foyer, making the first floor an open-plan living and dining area with master suite, the second floor children's rooms and play space, and the rooftop an outdoor dining area with view garden. M&E upgrades per storey (water, electricity, air-conditioning, fire safety) are the focal point of village house renovation because the original structure's electrical load and pipe diameters typically cannot meet modern living requirements. On villa projects, Artwill has handled Repulse Bay, Tai Tam, Bel-Air, and Kowloon Tong detached and semi-detached houses. These projects come with gardens and swimming pools requiring planning, require coordination with architects and landscape designers, and have higher exterior weatherproofing requirements. Artwill collaborates with trusted landscape designers to integrate interior and exterior design. On pricing, village house renovation is calculated across 3 storeys plus rooftop, and tends to be more flexible than equivalent apartments because there is no management office or building access restriction. Villa projects sit higher due to garden and exterior structure work. All village house and villa projects run 6 to 10 months from first measured survey to handover. Pricing is quoted per project after a free consultation.
