Urban Living with Tranquility

“Whereas neighbourhoods in London, New York and Chicago were historically built with great three-, four- and five-storey homes, a series of houses forming its own street is a very unusual situation in Hong Kong because of the city’s topography and density,” explains James von Klemperer FAIA, RIBA, President and Design Principal with the project’s architect, Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates.“Multi-storey dwellings like this enable a lifestyle that is very different from what is normally possible in a typical Hong Kong apartment or even a duplex.”Fittingly, 23-39 Blue Pool Road offers an antidote to the kind of high-density, high-rise living that typifies Hong Kong’s urban fabric. Sitting at the gateway to one of the city’s most sought-after addresses for elite families, Jardine’s Lookout, residents can take a break from the frenetic pace of city life whilst enjoying the utmost accessibility. Perfectly poised between Hong Kong’s vibrant Wan Chai and Causeway Bay districts and its verdant mountainous interior, Blue Pool Road is situated in Happy Valley, an unrivalled location in the heart of the harbour city.Home to the Happy Valley Racecourse, prestigious private schools, destination eateries and independent boutiques, Happy Valley has a sophisticated urban village atmosphere that appeals to families and singles alike.

Unique Typology for Refined Living

Occupying its own private balcony, which has been carved into one of Happy Valley’s steep hillsides, 23-39 Blue Pool Road displays the highest sophistication of design thinking in each and every one of its details. Special care has been lavished on the sequence of spaces involved in the ritual of entry, adding a unique quality to residents’ experiences of arrival at each house.Each residence has its own small but dignified forecourt that is defined and sheltered by 3.8m-tall screens of sculpted bronze, works of art that were delicately lubricated with particular attention to their finish and patina.Once inside the residence, the impact of its unique internal courtyard becomes immediately evident, affording garden views from both the kitchen and

living room while providing the twin benefits of natural ventilation and daylight.A similar sense of openness and privacy is afforded by each residence’s roof terrace (around 124sq m – 1,325-1,344sq ft), which can be easily accessed thanks to the internal elevator that is fitted in each home. Privacy and sustainability were key considerations in the design of the project’s gently folded facade, which is inspired by traditional Chinese folding screens. More than just a curtain wall that separates the interior from the exterior, this inflected facade affords a high degree of insulation while ensuring discreet, indirect views into and out of the buildings. It also contains a system of mechanical blinds, sandwiched between the layers of double-glazing that absorbs light and heat from the sun in a manner that helps to combat heat gain, which is normally responsible for the largest energy use in buildings in Hong Kong.From the seamless flow and flexibility of its internal spaces to its combination of internal courtyards and roof terraces, each of the project’s unique elements combine to afford an unparalleled quality of life.
