Twilight Villa Residentail

Twilight Villa Residentail is an innovative residential architectural project located at a peak in Kowloon, Hong Kong, exemplifying the harmonious integration of modern design principles with natural surroundings. This 3,500-square-foot detached house, designed by Michael Liu, represents a remarkable transformation of a three-decade-old structure into a contemporary dwelling that masterfully balances aesthetic appeal with functional efficiency. The design philosophy centers on creating a seamless connection between interior and exterior spaces, achieved through strategic architectural interventions such as the installation of full-height sliding and folding glass doors and thoughtful space planning. The project's distinctive features include an open-plan ground floor where the kitchen and dining areas merge to enhance spatial flow, complemented by strategic use of bold color accents including a sharp pink feature wall. The first floor showcases innovative design solutions with its garden-facing living room, enhanced by a custom peach-blossom pattern and contrasting green accent wall. The upper levels demonstrate sophisticated space utilization, particularly evident in the second floor's glass-walled bathroom offering panoramic mountain views, and the third floor's master suite that intelligently combines study, cloakroom, bathroom, and bedroom spaces. This Iron A' Design Award-winning project, completed in 2012, stands as a testament to successful budget-conscious luxury renovation, demonstrating how thoughtful design can transform an aging structure into a contemporary masterpiece that harmoniously blends with its mountainous setting while meeting modern lifestyle requirements.
