BEACH HOUSE 11

Lamma Island, Hong Kong

1,400 SF Exterior & Interior Renovation

Completed 2022

Perched on a hillside near Hung Shing Yeh Beach on Lamma Island, the project was designed as a family retreat for an Industrial Designer couple and their young family. The house was a traditional 1400 sq ft village house built in the early 1980s. SW Design converted the ground floor into a single open plan, consisting of a living, kitchen, and dining that opens to an elevated outdoor terrace. The old roof stairhood was modified into a skylight to create a light-filled circulation space that leads to the upstairs corridor gallery. Throughout the house, the details and materials are kept simple and raw, yet refined. Concrete columns, beams, and floors are balanced with delicate metal and wood detailing.
