Linehouse has designed the interiors for the Cape Drive Residence on Hong Kong Island.

Cape Drive Residence is located in a coastal setting on the south side of Hong Kong Island. The home offers elevated panoramic ocean views to the east and west and is just a short walk from the sandy white beaches of Stanley and Chung Hom Kok.

The design harnesses a coastal essence through materiality, light and an open flow, seamlessly connecting the interior and exterior spaces. The living spaces occupy the ground floor with a surrounding terrace and garden, providing an open connection between the kitchen, dining, living areas and the exterior terrace.

The terrace is an undulating landscape of stone, allowing for pockets of greenery and different zones to be occupied. A new internal courtyard was inserted between the living and dining areas with a centralised tree and surrounding seating.

White timber louvres provide a continuous ceiling plane in the interior living spaces, which extend to the exterior as a canopy, again blurring the interior/exterior condition.

The upper two floors provide bedrooms, a second living space and a study, all located at either end of the home with coastal views. The white-washed core extends into these private spaces, offering storage, seating and shelving, with hand-raked plaster walls offering a textural contrast. The bathrooms add a fresh moment of colour to the space, using patterned tiles handmade in Portugal by designer Elisa Passino.

This project has been shortlisted in the home interior category of Dezeen Awards China 2024.
