Chinese design studio Linehouse designs the interior spaces of the Cape Drive Residence located in Hong Kong to overlook the surrounding views of the coast. It is along the southern side of Hong Kong Island. The studio explains, "The design harnesses a coastal essence through materiality, light, and an easy flow, seamlessly connecting the interior and exterior spaces."
It features an open living space along the ground floor which connects the kitchen to the dining area with an internal courtyard between these sections with a central tree and seating section. It is clad in stone with a terrace that creates a sunken seating area with pockets of plants around it. The studio continues, "The design of the home reflects the relaxed and laidback lifestyle of a beach setting. Warm tones, tactile surfaces and textures, a clean and simple material palette, and a seamless flow between inside and out."
