Mount Regalia

The family wanted their abode to feel airy an bright.they weren’t too fond of back-white-grey tones and anything that feel heavy-handed,”say designer Brian Chan,founder of Facade Interior Design,of the recent project he did for the family of tree.

For six months ,we worked with the couple and their young son to remake their 2000 square foot house at Mount Regalia in Kau To Shan into a comfortable and classy home with luxurious,yet approachable vibe,turning the original four en suites into three,along with a study.

“The challenge was pulling off a luxe look that feels rich without too much opulence”

For us, that entailed choosing the finest materials and fabrics,and letting them speak for themselves ; layering, contrast, tactility and colour , were key to the approach.

We went for a warm nature-toned palette, swathes of browns , yellows and oranges,to bring instant cosiness to the residence , but even the lightest and earthiest of colour schemes require small tactile punches to ground the space.

“Marble flooring , brass details , and the leather sectioning emblazoned on the cabinet sideboards and upholstered pieces , are decorative accents that work wonders”.

“The leather is barely noticeable from a distance but when you look up close , it offers some interesting contrast to the overall theme of the house.”



“An accent wall with artistic coating is a sure-fire way to draw the eyes without overwhelming the space .I’m happy with how well it goes with the rest of the house.”

Layering is much more than the addition of throws, shades or cushions . Which is why he integrated a dropped ceiling in the main living area. It not only adds a subtle demarcation of the space, but makes room to play around with light.
