Laguna City
A private residential flat at Laguna City, in Kwun Tong, Kowloon. Marble-patterned floor tiles are laid throughout; the TV wall is divided by large marble-patterned slabs with brass trim, and the TV cabinet floats clear of the floor with a concealed light strip; a display cabinet with glass sliding doors on one side of the dining room shows the tableware through the glass.
A marble wall serves as the TV feature wall in the living room, edged with brass trim; the dining table sits against the open kitchen, one step between cooking and eating.
Only a low cabinet marks the line between the dining room and the living room, while concealed ceiling lighting opens up the layers; the marble wall carries through to the kitchen doorway, holding one tone across the flat.
Large marble-patterned slabs form the TV feature wall, with a glazed display bay and concealed lighting opened up in the middle; a brass line draws a fine edge between the white and the grey.
Brass lines divide the marble wall, and the artwork leans rather than hangs, so it can be changed at any time; the low cabinet below has glazed bays, giving display and storage each a place.
Flat white cabinet fronts run across as one clean plane, with a line drawing and a ceramic piece standing side by side; the doors carry no handles and open on push catches, which keeps the wall whole.
The L-shaped kitchen puts the hob and the sink on opposite runs, so preparation never gets in its own way; glass doors on the wall cabinets keep everyday items in sight and stop the wall feeling heavy.
A grey textured wall runs from the bedhead to the window, its brushed finish coming and going with the light; the floating dressing table and the upholstered headboard are held in the same plane, so sleeping and working stay out of each other's way.
An upholstered fabric headboard against a textured wall sits by the large window and takes in the full spread of daylight; a floating counter along the wall doubles as a dressing table, with a round patterned stool that pulls out easily.
A bunch of pink dried flowers in a ribbed vase is the only colour in front of the textured wall; a few stacked books leave room to breathe, and the corner is held together with very little.
Pale stone-effect tiles run up the bathroom walls to the ceiling, drawing a small room out; concealed lighting under the mirror lights the counter, and the bath and shower share one zone so no space is wasted.
