Ten Results Horizontal Dream House with Large Expanses of Glass

Hong Kong Villa is a dream house that is located in Shek-O,

an historic fishing village in the southeast corner

of Hong Kong Island. It takes full advantage of surrounding

landscape with large expanses of glass that open to views

in every direction. Strong horizontal lines extend from

the building into the landscape, creating large covered

terraces protected from the semi-tropical climate.

There are also plenty of features that make the house

modern and stylish, for example: transitions between indoors

and outdoors are seamless, angles are right, shapes are simple

and so on. The interiors are richly appointed using both native

teak and imported woods from the Pacific Northwest.

The entertaining and private living spaces are on a single level,

and the garage, servants’ quarters and other support spaces

occupy a lower level, tucked into the sloping site.
