The beauty of exclusivity and tranquility
Cradled by the natural beauty of the rich woodland tapestry of low-density southern Hong Kong island, 8 Deep Water Bay Drive is an ode to tranquillity and privacy.
From within, over 80 per cent of the development is devoted to green space. Its 52 spacious apartments offer a dream home to those seeking space to unwind and enjoy mindful living in a serene environment. It is this uniqueness that enabled the development to set the record in April for the most expensive apartment in Asia with a HK$605.44 million duplex in lump sum terms. The special five-bedroom, 7,568 sq. ft. garden unit comes with a 2,983 sq. ft. private garden and a swimming pool.
The tranquil environment and exclusivity inspired Alexandra Champalimaud, acclaimed for her work for Raffles Singapore and niche residential developments in New York among others, in her design for the property.
“I think anyone who lives in a big dense city is looking for a sense of peace, especially within a certain proximity of their home, if not in their home.
When your residence is in the middle of a city it’s so important to try and make your home your personal respite,” says Champalimaud. “And blessed with such a beautiful natural landscape, it was important for the developer and architect to build units that feel like they are floating in the middle of it.”
