Lots of unpredictable happened (which is predictable for a building of this age) but we managed to keep on track with the very tight program.
So this is where we are at....
 |
| from the front door - there is so much light after enlarging the openings |
 |
| the wall on the right of corridor is the original finish; the wall on the left has been stripped of the ornaments during construction but all timber architraves will be reinstated to maintain the heritage intactness of the corridor |
 |
| connecting the 2 central room is the main operation ...to allow light and breeze to circulate within the apartment |
 |
| this opening was blocked off for more than 30 years... we have now reinstated it |
 |
| running electrical cables under the floor has been a difficult task because the floor joists are at different directions and are laid in individual rooms (so the space under the floor is interrupted at the walls by masonry plinths) |
 |
| new central room by connecting 2 rooms. Original plan was lacking hierarchy in space, almost like an assemblage of scattered rooms. We try to introduce a "heart" into the planning where the rooms / spaces can "come off" from |
 |
| the top of this window was covered for over 30 years. It is nice to see how it is reinstated and is bringing so much light into the space |
 |
| at the sunroom, slanting window sills have been replaced by straight sills. Aluminium windows will be replaced with sashless windows to provide uninterrupted view to the Bay.... |
