Called Tregunter, renovation project in a Hong Kong tower overlooking Victoria Harbour is also involved creating a built -in storage and seating, painted white to match the wall. Niche ceiling lined with wood pulled onto the eye from the floor that fits in the apartment was designed by Davidclovers Hong Kong. Artificial lighting and air conditioning is incorporated into the curved ceiling depressions.

Nestled amongst a forest of towers on Old Peak Road above Central Hong Kong, the Tregunter tower holds unique layered views of Victoria Harbour. The abundance of bay windows, structural walls and beams that are common to residential towers would appear to constrain the possibilities of the apartment.

However, by turning constraints into opportunities, davidclovers re-works the volumes of this apartment by using the ceiling and the floor. Subtly elongating, pressing upward, and sloping downward, the ceiling produces variable sensations of compression and expansion – making the apartment seem larger than it is, drawing delicate lines that separate dining from living.

Materials are used three-dimensionally throughout the apartment. Wood rotates from floors and ceilings to walls in the kitchen and mosaic tiles brighten toward windows in the bathrooms making the illumination from windows seem even brighter.
