Scandi-crafted Home Interiors in Dynasty Court Tucked away atop of the Victoria Peak behind Hong Kong's unrelenting hustle and bustle, the residences found along Old Peak Road have been known to offer an oasis just within reach of the city. Set at the western point of Hong Kong Island, this panoramic neighbourhood boasts beautiful views over the town, hiking trails galore, and some of the city's priciest homes. Given its regarded status, it's of little surprise that those who live atop of The Peak chose to renovate rather than relocate as the years go by. Having worked with Clifton, ten years prior, the homeowner of the Dynasty Court Residence believed it to be time for his 1,794sq.ft three-bedroom apartment to be given a complete and total facelift. Built back in the '90s, the residence had been updated once before through Clifton's services, but with a new chapter of retirement drawing nearer, the desire for a modern touch presented itself once again – this time with inspiration from Scandinavian interiors. Given the instructions to keep the prior design of architectural and office feel but update everything, CLDW took on the role of refurbisher to their repeat client, this time however with a more curved and coloured approach than the boxey one before it. With the brief of out with the old, in with the new underway, Clifton and his team set out to deploy a modern feel to the apartment with updates to everything from the floors, walls, doors and even the appliances – prioritizing functionality and simplicity. As the kitchen had been left out of the past retouch, this time around with retirement underway in was more important to give the couple a contemporary space to explore their culinary skills. Rounded chairs and tables complement the more square-like feel of the room, with washed grey tiles and soft tan cabinets. Meanwhile, the living room and dining room were under the instructions to be void of paintings and wall decorations – with the exception of the past CD changer – as the focal point of the rooms was to remain the spectacular view which looks down upon Hong Kong's Central district all the way to the Kowloon harbourside. Again, curvey furniture can be seen among the interiors, with rounded sofas, chairs and even the coffee table. The furniture – much like the interiors – remains minimalist, as the homeowners require little to no storage space, a rare thing indeed for Hong Kong. Inside the master bedroom, the updated lighting remains concealed within the walls as another finely executed play on curves from Clifton, which ensures minimalism. Over to the guest bedroom/study, more brown tones can be seen for an Earthy feel for guests, and the Mrs of the house to do her exercises. With Scandinavian design and minimalism being one of the most popular trends of modern interior design, it takes a true professional to understand its principals of warm and natural palettes, while not too overpowering and bright. Ever present in the Dynasty Court home is the maximization of natural light, which gives it an airy environment a house at the Peak most certainly deserves.

Challenge: Our clients needed a functional powder room in the basement of their lake house, positioned strategically next to the entrance for swimmers and guests. The space required materials that could withstand high moisture and frequent use while maintaining an inviting, modern aesthetic that would complement the relaxed lakeside lifestyle. Solution: We designed a vibrant, practical powder room that balances durability with playful sophistication. The design centers around selecting materials specifically chosen for their ability to handle moisture and heavy use without sacrificing style. By incorporating bold color elements and modern finishes, we created a space that feels fresh and energizing—perfect for the lakeside setting. Highlights: • Durable terrazzo tile flooring that withstands moisture and heavy foot traffic • Bright blue illuminated glass tile feature that adds modern vibrancy and visual interest • Strategic material selection prioritizing both functionality and aesthetic appeal • Fun, contemporary design that complements the relaxed lake house atmosphere Results: The transformed powder room now serves as a practical yet stylish transition space for swimmers and guests, combining the durability needed for lakeside living with a modern, vibrant aesthetic. This project showcases our ability to create functional spaces that don't compromise on style, proving that high-traffic areas can still deliver visual impact and personality.
