Kai Cheung Court
A subsidised housing (HOS) flat at Kai Cheung Court, in Diamond Hill, Kowloon. The living and dining areas open into one long axis, with the TV feature wall edged on both sides in pale ribbed timber panelling, and the whole flat kept to two tones, off-white and natural timber. The ceiling carries a concealed light cove with track spotlights rather than a large central fitting, which makes the ceiling height feel easier.
Ribbed timber panelling edges the TV wall, and the sofa and the dining table share one axis; the curtains drop to the floor and diffuse the daylight into the room.
A single run of cabinetry carries on from the living room to the entrance hall, with a backlit stone display recess left in the middle; the glass sliding door is framed in wood and still lets light through when closed, so the flat never feels shut in.
A small round table is kept by the window, with daylight coming through the sheer curtain; a simple corner is enough to serve as a daily pause.
Olive green base units under white wall units open up light and dark between them; marble-effect tiling climbs from the worktop onto the wall, and wipes clean after cooking.
Marble-effect wall tiles form the backdrop and a timber worktop warms it up; the appliances are built into the cabinetry, keeping the narrow room in order.
Fluted timber panelling runs from the headboard onto the wall, with concealed lighting tracing the edge downwards; a low unit at the side of the bed serves as the bedside table, keeping the lines continuous.
A cream full-height wardrobe runs all the way to the door, its long vertical handles stretching the proportions; beside it a floating counter sits against the window, so daylight falls straight onto the work surface.
Timber battens form a slatted wall at the bedhead, softening the join between wall and cabinetry; a light strip is concealed under the platform, leaving only a line of warm light along the floor at night.
The full-height white wardrobe sits tight against the wall, with long handles on the drawers below and everyday clothes all kept inside; the timber-grain door frame matches the floor, so the narrow passage does not feel cramped.
A pink vanity against grey-blue wall tiles reads soft rather than sweet; the mirror cabinet is recessed into the wall and hides the bottles.
A dark green mirror cabinet is recessed into the wall, with a concealed strip beneath it keeping the light low; the white stone counter holds only a tray, and once the bottles are put away it reads as clear.
