Chic on the Peak

These are more images of the house in which we stayed in Hong Kong, of the drawing room. At the garden end of the room there are two alcoves that go towards a small sitting room, (to the left), and a small dining room, (to the right). Each of these rooms themselves connect separately to the library, and to the main dining room. This creates an unusual, interesting and yet very structured layout to the entire ground floor of the house.

More images of these other rooms and the main hall and staircase will follow. The painting above the chimneypiece in the drawing room is by the Australian artist Garry Shead, and is one of many in a very fine collection which the owners have amassed. The picture above the large sofa in the first image, is Chinese, and almost Lowry-esq, with its vibrant activity of children playing. The walls in this room, and the hallway have been given a polished plaster glaze.

In a previous post about the dining room of this house I commented on the custom built bookcases at one end of the dining room. A larger expanse of this flanks the double door entry from the hallway. And the library, well naturally the library has many more, wall to ceiling.
