Peggy Bels creates a comfortable, contemporary space in the heart of Hong Kong
Plenty of research and planning goes into purchasing a home of one’s own, but signing the contract is just the beginning of the process. Like many of the best things in life, a home requires ongoing cultivation, whether taking care of small repairs or doing a complete overhaul. When the time came for one couple to redo their home’s air conditioning system after five years of ownership, they also took the opportunity to renovate their home for the first time. Considering that they had only given birth to their first son when they first moved in, but that their family had since expanded to two young boys and a baby daughter, it provided the perfect opportunity to transform their abode into a more kid-friendly one.
Driving up the winding, greenery-filled street leading to the apartment building, one feels simultaneously removed from the bustle of the city while remaining a short drive away from its centre. In the end, the combination of the beautiful natural scenery and central location had them quickly snapping up the property. While the building itself might not look much different from the typical high rises in the area, entering the flat reveals a home with a character all of its own – an aesthetic that was achieved last May after the couple embarked on the home’s first proper renovation.
