VILLA LUCCA, the brand-new low-density seaview¹ residence in Tai Po Hillside jointly developed by Hysan Development Company Limited and HKR International Limited, provides 262 garden houses and apartments^# and represents a rare offering for homebuyers who appreciate the splendour of European-style mansions and yearn for high privacy. Proudly located in the upmarket Tai Po area along Lo Fai Road with the magnificent mountain range of Pat Sin Leng as a natural backdrop, ¹ VILLA LUCCA commands spectacular views of Plover Cove Reservoir and Tolo Harbour¹. To accentuate the surrounding mountains and the sea¹, the developers have created an over 34,000-sq-ft resident clubhouse “CLUB LUCCA” ³which opens today for media preview and a taster of the exquisite lifestyle dedicated to the privileged few.

Ms. Jessica Yip, Director of Office and Residential at Hysan Development Company Limited, said, “The first-hand property market boomed in the second quarter of this year, with luxury homes sold at high prices. A recent example is a luxury mansion sold for $870 million, or $108,000 per square foot, the highest price so far this year⁵. VILLA LUCCA, a new major luxury residential project in the market, has been drawing much attention. We have already obtained pre-sale consents and occupation permit for VILLA LUCCA; its sales brochure is well underway and expected to be ready to upload very soon/in a few days. We are gearing up for the official launch.”

Ms. Violet Lam, General Manager, Business Development & Marketing at HKR International Limited, said, “VILLA LUCCA provides a total of 262 garden houses and apartments^# with a low-density design. All 14 towers of apartments are only five-storey high with 4 typical units on each floor^# whereas the top floor mostly features 2 special units^#. All households are provided with a private lift lobby. There are 160 typical units, each with 3 or 4 bedrooms^# and a saleable area ranging from 1,078 to 2,526 sq ft². There are also 66 special units^#, including top-floor special units and those with a garden. With a 2- to 4-bedroom design#, these special units have a saleable area ranging from 1,010 to 3,760 sq ft² and cater for people/homebuyers who relish spaciousness and harmonious living.”

Ms. Lam added, “In addition to apartments, VILLA LUCCA has 36 houses/mansions: 34 houses and 2 signature houses. ^# Ranging from 3,245 to 5,341 sq ft², the 34 houses feature a variety of designs and layouts^# to cater for the needs of different families, including 4-bedroom (including 2 ensuites), 4-bedroom (all ensuites), and 5-bedroom (including 2 ensuites). Most of all, there are two signature houses^#, namely, ‘1 Lucca Avenue’ and ‘1 Villa Avenue’. 1 Lucca Avenue, the largest unit of the project, boasts a saleable area of 8,030 sq ft² with 5 ensuites^# and is extremely rare in the market. 1 Villa Avenue, with a saleable area of 6,268 sq ft² and a special twin house design# housing 4 ensuites^#, is also rarely available in the market.”

CLUB LUCCA³ brings the beauty of nature to underline the elegance and tranquillity of mountain retreat

Ms. Yip said, “Residents of VILLA LUCCA will be pampered with a comprehensive and admirable range of facilities in the mega clubhouse ‘CLUB LUCCA’³. Internationally renowned architects and interior designers from DAVID COLLINS STUDIO were invited to create a design that brings the natural beauty of the lush surrounding to the clubhouse, enabling residents to revel in the soothing greenery. The entire design exudes a flair of modernity and style, as exemplified in the meticulous selection of building materials, exquisite marble flooring and fine furniture, and the ingenious combination of hues throughout the décor. ⁴ The UK-based DAVID COLLINS STUDIO is an award-winning interior design firm and has won global recognition for its design style of modern luxury. Among its noteworthy projects are The Connaught Bar in London, which is acclaimed for its exclusive cocktails, and high-end fashion house Alexander McQueen’s flagship store in Paris.”

To meet the diverse needs of its residents, CLUB LUCCA³ has introduced an array of innovative facilities, providing about 30 kinds of amenities³ appealing to the active ones as well as those who cherish quiet times. The clubhouse consists of 4 zones³: Earth, Mountain, Ocean and Wood. Earth Zone³ builds on the concept of a director’s house, featuring a luxurious banquet hall Grand Lucca³, which comes with a professionally appointed kitchen with minotticucine⁴ cabinets and top-end appliances from Gaggenau⁴ and Sub-zero⁴ – where residents may enjoy culinary fun with their families and friends. Wine cellar, tasting lounge, humidor, snooker room, private gym studio, and wellness spa area³ are also provided to address the various needs of the ultimate lifestyle.

Mountain Zone³ caters for different interests and age groups with an extensive range of facilities³, including a lounge, a library and game rooms. For those looking for tranquillity or a private reading time, simply slack and relax in the comfort of the clubhouse. Those who yearn for the thrill of the gaming world can also have a great time with their friends and game-mates.

Ocean Zone³ is a unique area that blends the allure of pool and garden. Residents can take a leisurely stroll³ around the sunken plaza3, the central lawn³ and the reflection pool³, revelling in the beauty of seasonal changes and enjoying the amazing landscape created by professional landscape design house Adrian L Norman Ltd. There is also a children playroom³ developed by renowned game specialist Rakoon Design. All building materials⁴ are made in Germany and comply with EU Standards⁴, giving parents peace of mind to let their children roam around and have fun.

Wood Zone³ comprises a gymnasium, swimming pools and sporting equipment³. It features a large 42m-long outdoor garden pool that offers residents an incredible experience of swimming in the woods, and a 25m-long indoor pool³ that glistens with the Glass Ripple Shift Panel specially created by Dutch designer Rive Roshan. Moreover, there are an outdoor play pool for the little ones, a jacuzzi and a well-equipped spa area³ to take total care of the needs of sports enthusiasts.

On top of a complete range of recreational facilities, CLUB LUCCA³ is characterised by the developer’s meticulous care and standards as shown in its interior and exterior design and selection of building materials. The spiral staircase⁴ is a good example. Inspired by the bamboo forest in the courtyard, the spiral staircase resembles the continuous and undulating bamboo branches⁴. The turquoise-colour hand-made ceramic tiles⁴ reflect vividly the sunlight with the shadows of the trees, forming a mesmerising picture with the dazzling waves of the pool. Each of the bamboo-shaped ceramic tiles is unique in tone and texture as they are all hand-pressed, glazed and fired by craftsmen⁴.

To accentuate the lush greenery in the surrounding, British artist Pierre Mesguich was commissioned to create a massive mosaic wall³ in the clubhouse. Using glass mosaics of different shades and colours and gold and silver foils, this extraordinary artwork features gorgeous flower patterns that embody exceptional craftsmanship. Hand-painted and produced by eight craftsmen, the entire work took two and a half months to complete and is now a centrepiece of the clubhouse, adding to its elegance and artistic glamour.
