The Design

About Mountain Court Apartment Design and Construction

Mountain Court Apartment is a residential interior design for a family of four in Homantin, Hong Kong. The original 1985 layout had two bedrooms; the new plan provides three bedrooms and ample storage. An open kitchen supports entertaining and can be enclosed during cooking. A double curve cove ceiling softens the lighting and eases the low ceiling height inherited from the building. Stone flooring at the perimeter mirrors the ceiling to define the living and dining areas. A custom dining table uses an imported material called Forresso, matched to the display shelf backing.

Research: Open plan living, enjoys wide open spaces, which is ideal for promoting the flow of air within the home and diffusing natural light through different living areas. With no walls or doors to act as barriers, both the breeze and sunlight from windows around your house can filter through uninterrupted.
Inspiration: The original layout of of this building by New World Development back in 1985 was 2 bedroom layout, the client is a family of 4 and requested 3 bedroom layout with plenty of storage.

The owner likes to entertain guests, so has planned the open kitchen design, there is also opportunity to enclosed the kitchen during cooking or family time.

A mixture of Maxalto bar chair , B&B Italia Husk and De Castelli furnishing provide a classic yet contemporary approach to the living and dinning space.

The building itself integrated light weight brick at the underside of the slab for soundproofing, in which the low ceiling was inherited from this building. The design approach of this is to create a double curve cove ceiling to smoothen out the lights onto the ceiling to create a natural blend of lighting.
