SKY HIGH, LAID-BACK

A modern resort-style duplex with an artful soul in Hong Kong.

 

Set high in the hills of Chung Hom Kok, this two-level residence by Clement C Studio reimagines city living through the lens of a boutique escape. Designed for a young couple drawn to nature and calm, the home channels the mood of a refined retreat—wrapped in warm textures, curated objects, and a quietly confident palette.

EVERYDAY FEELS LIKE A GETAWAY

From the moment you walk in, the energy shifts. Wood veneer flows seamlessly from walls to ceiling, creating a soft, enveloping effect. Terrazzo flooring adds a graphic edge, while earthy neutrals and soft cyan accents bring balance and breeze. Nature isn’t just referenced—it’s invited in, through indoor greenery, botanical wallcoverings, and views that stretch to sea and sky.

 

FURNITURE THAT LIVES WITH YOU 

The furniture selection hits the sweet spot between sculptural and lived-in. Flexform and Baxter pieces anchor the living areas with quiet luxury, while Moroso and Roche Bobois add bold forms and texture. Porada’s classic woodwork introduces warmth and precision. Outdoors, Tribu furnishings blur the line between inside and out, carrying the same low-key elegance onto the terrace.

Every item feels intentional—stylish without shouting, comfortable without compromise.

 

ART AS PART OF THE ARCHITECTURE  

 

Art is integral to the home’s identity. A large-scale canvas by Daisy Dodd-Noble anchors the dining space with soft landscape tones, while organic sculptures by Zue Chan echo the home’s nature-driven philosophy. “The artworks aren’t just accents—they’re part of the spatial rhythm,” says Clement Cheng. “They reflect the owners’ personalities and turn each room into a lived-in gallery.”

STANDOUT MOMENTS 

- The spiral stair: Leading from the walk-in closet to a private attic fashion archive—equal parts utility and design statement.

- Dark steel trims: Subtle but sharp, they bring an edge to the otherwise soft material palette.

- Cyan accents: Scattered just enough to energize the neutral tones without overpowering them.

THE OVERALL FEEL? 

 

Refined, grounded, effortless.
This is a home that doesn’t try too hard—and that’s exactly what makes it so compelling. Clement Cheng’s vision balances clean lines with soul, art with everyday function, and resort calm with city edge. A place to unwind, recharge, and live well—40 floors up.
