Deepwater Bay Villa

Sitting atop a verdant hillside above the deep cerulean waters of the South China Sea, this Hong Kong residence is a masterful reimagining inspired by its breathtaking natural surroundings. The design embraces a softly luxurious interpretation of contemporary family living, with a careful balance of serenity and sophistication. Expansive windows bathe the home and allow sunlight to quietly animate each room. The overall scheme has a focus on calm, tonal layering guiding the colour palette: soft neutrals, stonewashed creams, delicate sea greens and natural blues. 

Bespoke joinery, specialist finishes and handcrafted elements are found across raffia-inlaid panels and handwoven fabrics. All echo the surrounding textures of land and sea, gently harmonising the outside with the in. Across each level the home balances a pared-back Scandinavian-influenced aesthetic with rich artisanal detailing. Ripples on water, shifting light and a warm breeze have influenced elements in curved timber edges, hand-selected marbles and subtle metallic finishes. While tailored as a retreat, the home is thoughtfully considered for real life – it is open, social and functional. Clever storage solutions accommodate the family’s day-to-day needs while whimsical features in reading nooks and games rooms reflect the personality of its residences. The result is a home that feels grounded and refined, a haven for modern life designed with soul and sensitivity.
