A Five-Storey Apartment Building in TwoTwoSix Hollywood Road by Studioilse
March 17th, 2011 - Posted in Apartment Interior Designs
Located at TwoTwoSix Hollywood Road, the project incorporates one apartment on each floor. Bronze screens shield the double-height lobby from the road outside, while floor-to-ceiling windows in each home overlook the gardens below. Internally, screens are used to divide the space as required by residents.
Studioilse took great care in the scale of building, to root it to the neighbourhood. The architectural materiality used appeals to the senses and importantly, creates a sense of warmth often missing in more conventional Hong Kong flats. As you walk off Hollywood road, discretely hidden behind a bronze architectural screen, you enter the double height light filled lobby, with verdant planting. A 5-storey development, with an apartment per floor of approximately 1,500 sq ft, is a generosity of space virtually unknown in Hong Kong. The ‘One room living’, uses dividers to give flexibility throughout the evolving life of the contemporary owner, yet provide a continuity between the former shapes of the room. The floor to ceiling windows overlook Hollywood Gardens and bring nature into the home. via
