Hong Kong Villa by Olson Kundig Architects
Hongkong Villa by Olson Kundig Architects
Located in Shek-O, an historic fishing village in the southeast corner of Hong Kong Island, this house takes full advantage of its prominent rural site. Overlooking the South China Sea, the design includes broad expanses of glass opening to views in every direction; seamless transitions from inside to outside to merge the house into its landscape; and broad overhangs to provide protection from the tropical sun. One of only a handful of single-family lots in all of Hong Kong, the project is truly unique. Olson Kundig Architects manage 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.
