TRUE LUXURY - TASTE, SPACE, TIME

Luxury is not about how much money you can spend or able to own the world class luxurious gadgets. True luxury is about  experiencing, understanding and appreciating. Money can buy taste but it's not necessarily mean that you have good taste.

As an interior designer, I got chances to visit homes throughout the most prestigious location in Hong Kong. I must say some of the places are really stunting by their views and design. However, most of them do not have a soul.  In order to enjoy luxury, you'll need mentality, discipline and a vision of your lifestyle. Sounds hard to achieve but it's possible.

When I first saw this breath taking villa in Architectural Digest, I was captured by the streamline and the sophistication of the outlook. I was even more touched when I start reading the article. I couldn't believe that this house is actually located in Hong Kong and it's designed by a world famous Seattle based architect firm Olson Kundig Architect. Almost all the architectural material were custom fabricated and shipped from Seattle. This project took them six years to complete and I think it's all worth the wait for an art being born.
