位於繁盛的鬧市中，這是一個非常罕見的單位，四周佈滿繁盛樹木的景觀，空氣清新。業主是一對醫生夫婦，生活非常繁忙。為舒緩壓力，他們決定在樓上添置第三個單位，打造一個私人的“世外桃園”。
近年水療在亞洲地區廣為流行。擁有一個設備齊全的私人水療室是每個人的夢想。整個設計概念是建築一個豪華的家庭水療室去融合此單位的特色與大自然融為一體。與此同時，將水引入成為一個淨化空間的工具，使室內與室外互相結合，達到人、水及自然三者合而為一。
整個設計運用了一個開放式的概念，以不用任何實牆去分割空間-分別是水療室、內部庭園、開放式平台、休息室及打坐室。按摩池與人造瀑布成為整個空間的視覺焦點，向內伸延的露台使室內室外的空間連接起來，用者可以在浸浴時享受美麗的環境。柚木天花連接著每一個空間，休息室裏設有一個四點七米長的開放式酒吧及隱蔽式的廚房。在旁的是個打座室，可給屋主作冥想及練習瑜伽之用。
Located in a prestigious part of urban city, this Hong Kong apartment building is a rare find surrounded by trees. The owners, both medical doctors, have an extremely busy schedule. Their recent purchase of a third unit brought them to us to convert this extra unit into a “sky garden” for relaxation. They also required a connecting staircase to their living quarters. Their intention is to turn this into a private retreat in order to have an instant “get away” from their regular busy life.
Spa therapy in Asia is widely expanded. The luxury to enjoy spa regularly in one’s private home is everyone’s dream. Although the context is set in an urban residential tower, the space actually offers plenty of fresh air and captivating greenery view. The concept is to create a luxury private spa which merges with the nature outside.Elements such as water was introduced to enhance and purify the space and the presence of water becomes therapeutic. The boundary between the exterior and interior become less defined by applying exterior materials in an interior space. The space revitalizes connections between people, water and the nature in an urban setting.
An open plan was instigated and the space was divided into five different zones without any physical boundary – Jacuzzi, Internal Courtyard, Open Deck, Sitting Area and the Zen Room. The Jacuzzi zone incorporating with a waterfall is placed in the centre of the space as a focal point. The original balcony has been extended internally dramatically in order to bring the outdoor into the interior. One can enjoy the scenery while soaking in the Jacuzzi or chilling out in the Courtyard. Two independent fountain walls run along the Open Deck and the Internal Courtyard serves as a backdrop. The teak wood ceiling strip is a spine of the space which links up all the zones. Sitting Area is an extension of the Open Deck, where one can discover a 4.7m long open bar table and concealed kitchen behind it. Adjacent to the Sitting Area, located in a more private corner, is the Zen Room for yoga practice or meditation. |
