VC Residence

Location: The Peak, Hong Kong
Area: 1,300 sqft

VC Residence, the latest residential design by Lim + Lu in Hong Kong, is a testament to the harmonious blend of architectural minimalism and subtle Japanese design influences. The 1300 sqft space, located on the Peak, exudes understated elegance with meticulous attention to detail and a cohesive motif that gracefully envelops the entire apartment.

The client’s architectural background and shared educational journey with Vincent provide a strong foundation for the vision of VC Residence. Drawing on their mutual design background, Lim + Lu translates the client’s preferences and aspirations into a harmonious space that authentically reflects their lifestyle. This collective architectural vision and collaborative approach ensured a design that revealed relaxed architectural tranquility, guided by Lim + Lu’s expertise and refined sensibilities.

A hallmark of VC Residence lies in the statement plaster portal frames that adorn the various spaces, lending an air of architectural sophistication. These thresholds create a sense of depth and visual interest, captivating the eye and inviting exploration within the space.

The material palette embraces the beauty of raw and natural elements, such as warm wood, delicate rattan, and textured plaster. Through the interplay of these materials, VC Residence establishes a serene connection with nature, evoking a sense of tranquility and calmness.

Inspired by the client’s affinity for Japanese design, subtle touches of Japanese aesthetics are thoughtfully incorporated throughout the apartment. Large Japanese-style sliding doors, characterized by clean lines and understated elegance, delicately separate spaces while keeping the flow of the apartment very fluid and infuse a touch of traditional charm. Complementing these elements, the client’s selection of a handcrafted bathtub imported from Japan serves as a centerpiece that enhances the sanctity of the bathroom experience.

The spatial layout of VC Residence is thoughtfully designed to maximize functionality while maintaining an open and airy ambiance. The architectural minimalist aesthetic allows each element and detail to shine. VC Residence is a testament to the shared vision between the client and Lim + Lu, capturing personality in a space that effortlessly fuses architectural vision with understated luxury.
