Jesse Mc Lin’s paintings photographed in this feature about LAUD LIMITED’s design for a private residence in Hong Kong.
Perched within a quiet, green pocket of Hong Kong, this 20-year-old Mid-Levels apartment has been completely reimagined by LAUD LIMITED into something softer and lighter. What was once weighed down by dark finishes and limited daylight has been transformed into a calm, nurturing home designed for work, craft, and rest.
The brief was intimate. A home that could support knitting, sewing, and quiet observation, while still feeling open and connected. The solution unfolds through a careful balance of daylight, material warmth, and spatial clarity, drawing from Scandinavian sensibilities without losing its Hong Kong context.
