Aegean Coast
A private residential flat at Aegean Coast, in So Kwun Wat in the New Territories. Pale oak runs throughout as the base, with one soft colour introduced per room — mint in the main bedroom, grey with blush in the study — so each space keeps its own character without competing; the fitted joinery all runs to the ceiling, putting the storage onto the walls.
Fluted timber panelling wraps the television wall, with frosted-glass cabinets above and to one side so storage and finish sit in one plane. The window sill is built out as a continuous ledge that meets the console, and daylight from the wide window falls straight onto the bed.
The entrance is given over to grey joinery, with a blush open niche and a timber ledge set into the middle for keys and pocket items. The run carries right up to the front door, tucking the meter and the clutter behind it.
A timber-lined opening frames the kitchen, which keeps white units and a pale timber counter inside, with the fridge and the washing machine each recessed into their own bay. Coat hooks are fixed just outside the frame, so outdoor clothing never goes past it.
The main bedroom sets a full-width upholstered grey headboard between mint cabinetry with frosted glass doors, the alternation keeping the green from becoming heavy. The bed again sits on a timber platform, with drawers along its side.
The wardrobe is built in pale timber to the ceiling, with one bay left open for everyday hanging. A fine reveal is held between the cabinetry and the mint wall, so the two materials never meet head-on.
The wardrobe in the second bedroom switches to white fluted doors, closed off with timber open shelving. The fluting makes the tall run read as more slender in a narrow room, and it hides fingerprints.
The study runs a long worktop along the window, meeting the bed at one end and a grey tall unit at the other. Shelves and a map dress the wall, and the working and sleeping zones share the same timber finish.
A curved timber pelmet finishes the wall above the desk and conceals the lighting, throwing it onto the worktop rather than into the eyes. Open shelving meets the white fluted units alongside, splitting the run evenly between display and storage.
