Bali on his mind: luxury villa with garden and pool, soft mood lighting and a ‘man cave’ in Hong Kong’s New Territories
- A three-storey villa with pool and sea view in Sai Kung, in Hong Kong’s New Territories, spoke to Wilson Fung of Bali – so he remodelled it with that in mind
- Fung added feature lighting, floor-to-ceiling mirrors, an eclectic collection of art and wallpaper murals to the home in a renovation that took 18 months
Wilson Fung has a knack for spotting the potential in rundown properties and transforming them into spectacular homes.
He has renovated multiple apartments and houses for himself and his friends – several of which have graced the pages of Post Magazine – but what began as a hobby has recently become a new career direction for the retired strategic planner.
He is now a contract design consultant for Leadfaith Design Engineering, the contracting company he initially employed to execute his ideas when he started dabbling in real estate more than 20 years ago.
His latest completed project, and home, is a three-storey, 1,800 sq ft (167 square metre) villa with rooftop in Sai Kung, in Hong Kong’s New Territories.
“I don’t have my own style. Each house dictates its own style and I explore how to bring out its best assets,” says Fung, who bought the four-bedroom, four-bathroom house in 2021 and refurbished it over 18 months. “With all the trees and greenery, this place spoke to me of Bali.”
Before dealing with the interior, Fung focused on the garden. Working with a team of tree surgeons, he cut back a tree to gauge how much natural daylight the property received at different times of the day and to maximise the view.
