T
his sleek and well-laid-out
apartment is ideally positioned
on the western side of Hong
Kong Island in Pok Fu Lam,
with bustling Sai Ying Pun and
Kennedy Town just around the corner.
Home to the design-savvy owner
of online children’s store Storytime
(
www.storytime.jp
) and her husband
and their daughter, the apartment
has a spacious, open-plan living
room, kitchen, recreation room, three
bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Having lived in Hong Kong for more
than five years, the couple wanted to
rent an apartment that provided lots of
light and a sense of space. This home
certainly fits the bill. Most of the walls
conceal bedrooms and bathrooms, and
everything else is in one liveable space,
with solid wooden floors and large bi-fold
doors that open to a balcony that looks
onto birds chirping in pretty trees.
The tenant keeps a diligent eye on
the home’s interior effect and her interest
in textures is obvious throughout. The
place is discreetly styled, with carpets
fromMorocco and striking artworks
made by her sister, an artist and designer
based in Spain. Vintage pieces and
