This bright and spacious apartment by Alexis Dupont is located in a high-end residential building in Hong Kong's South District, which is unique for its stunning views of Hong Kong's Deep Water Bay, from the living room to the mountains, islands, beaches, yachts and even a Marine park. Sunset is the most magical time, and it's the natural light pouring into the space that really makes the difference.
The Peaceful Balance apartment is 200 square meters and has three bedrooms, a very spacious living area and large storage space. Alexis Dupont gave it balanced, soft tones, soft textures and sharp, organic lines. The owner of this apartment is a friend of a friend of a designer. Through communication with the client, he found inspiration in this apartment and had an idea about the materials used in the design.
The client is a japanese-born mother who has lived in Hong Kong for many years. As well as caring for her young daughter, she is also an avid flower arranger, loves to host dinners and parties, and she loves to decorate her days with calm times and daily meditation. She moved here without any furniture, and "blank pages" was a new challenge for designers.
Peaceful Balance and the client, influenced by Japan and Europe, compared graphic blocks, organic shapes and materials and settled on a sofa with very soft tones. When entering the apartment, the first thing you see is the sofa bed in the living room, which creates a separation between the living and dining areas without being too prominent. Its base is knotted wood, and the mattress is covered in off-white linen and tobacco leather, striking a balance between sharp and soft. In the living area, a work by the artist and a work by the client's four-year-old daughter were used to create a dialogue between the two artworks.
Custom-made large sofa in velvet fabric. Very simple straight lines, contrasting with curvilinear armchairs and dark cyan coffee tables custom-made in Bali. The master bedroom features a custom bed frame and a pair of long wooden shelves. The dining table is a key component: a 600kg travertine stone table, paired with very light dining chairs.
