Equipping the space

Multidisciplinary design studio Lim + Lu recently refurbished a traditional 3-bedroom apartment in an ageing residential building in Hong Kong. The project aim was to open up the space all the while maintaining the option for privacy. Equipping the space with suspended glass and black powder coated stainless steel sliding doors, Lim+Lu has created a flexible and adaptive living environment that better reflects the transient lifestyle today.

The design duo deliberately chose colours that would inject fresh life into the space. The walls of the living room and bedroom are painted white with black accents, signifying spaces of rest and relaxation. Meanwhile, the kitchen, study, walk-in closet and master bathroom are all host to rich pastels and dark hues, tastefully combined with patterned ceramic tiles to juxtapose the core living space with the extensions. The thresholds created by the subtle distinctions of colour, texture and material maintain a fluidity to allow the space to still blend effortlessly together as one. #totslove
