Set on a rocky hillside overlooking the South China Sea in Shek-O, Hong Kong, China, this single-level contemporary home designed by Olson Kundig Architects seamlessly transitions from inside to outside merging the house into its landscape.
The emphasis of the design is on nature, views and vistas. The use of simple palette of natural materials — concrete, steel, wood, limestone and glass — and the complete integration of landscape and architecture spring from ancient Chinese traditions.
