VILLA LUCCA, the brand-new low-density seaview1 residences jointly developed by Hysan Development Company Limited and HKR International Limited, and proudly located in the upmarket Tai Po area along Lo Fai Road, opens today for media preview of its top-floor special unit* onsite. The luxurious furnished-flat represents a superb creation of the renowned design team who has made the most of the unit’s interior features and exceptional scenery1. The beauty of the mountains, the woods and the sea1 is brought to its interior through the floor-to-ceiling windows and the spacious flat roof. The special unit comes with an independent roof and “back of house area”. Moreover, every unit of the Development has a private lift lobby that adds to the extravagance of the residence. Earlier this month, VILLA LUCCA revealed its range of unit areas and layouts, and introduced its mega clubhouse, CLUB LUCCA3, that features about 30 recreational facilities3. The developers are planning to speed up the sale.

Ms. Jessica Yip, Director of Office and Residential at Hysan Development Company Limited, said, “ VILLA LUCCA’s furnished-unit5,6 designed by J Candice Interior Architects is being revealed today. Underlining the beauty of nature, the design team has not only brought in the remarkable scenery of the mountain range of Pat Sin Leng1, but has also made good use of natural wood5 and soothing hues to create a feeling of comfort and cosiness. It is indeed a sweet home and perfect retreat for the privileged few.”

Ms. Yip added, “With a saleable area of over 2,200 sq ft2, this top-floor special unit5,6 comes with a flat roof of over 1,100 sq ft2. Our designers have converted the family room next to the living/dining room to a private hobby room6 where residents may share their love of music and collectibles with their friends. Most of all, VILLA LUCCA is characterised by its utmost privacy as every household enjoys a private lift lobby.”

Ms. Violet Lam, General Manager, Business Development & Marketing at HKR International Limited, said, “VILLA LUCCA truly embraces the calmness and beauty of nature and celebrates the splendour of the mountains, the sea and the woods. The project has 66 special units*, of which 26 units are on the top floors. Each of the top floors houses two special units#*, which come with a roof and a private lift lobby. With saleable areas ranging from 2,021 to 3,760 sq ft2, these special units are the hidden gems in the market.”

Ms. Lam remarked, “The market response to VILLA LUCCA is overwhelming and we have received quite a lot of enquiries especially on special units*. We are planning to speed up the sale of VILLA LUCCA and open some units for public viewing early next month. Therefore, we hope the media preview of the furnished-flat5,6 (being, Special Unit B on 5th floor of Tower 6) today will help satisfy the growing interests from homebuyers, enabling prospective buyers to have a better understanding of its unique appeal and features. Facing north and with a saleable area of 2,259 sq ft2, this unit has 3 bedrooms (including 2 ensuites) and a family room#, and features a 1,118-sq-ft2 flat roof. It has a staircase (inside the unit) that leads to the private roof, which is 17-metre (or ) 57 feet) long. The special unit* has a great layout with dining room and living room segregated#. The living room and dining room are 8.2-metre (or 27-feet) wide and have a combined saleable area of over 600 sq ft2. With a high ceiling design@ and a floor-to-floor height of 3.38 metres (or over 11 feet), it feels spacious. The master ensuite has a generous saleable area of over 400 sq ft2 with a flexible layout that can comfortably fit a king-size bed, with huge spaces on all its three sides.

The Special Unit, that is, Unit B on 5th Floor of Tower 6, is designed by the renowned team at J Candice Interior Architects. Its founder Candice Chan studied in the United States and has earned a reputation for her elegant and stylish interior designs. Among her works are the Hong Kong Jockey Club’s VIP room, Guangzhou Union Square and some famous restaurants. The furnished-flat features floor-to-ceiling windows that lead to a massive flat roof, letting in abundant daylight and bringing home the lush greenery of Pat Sin Leng1 and overlooking the stunning views of Plover Cove Reservoir and Tolo Harbour1. The expansive living and dining rooms and the high ceiling@ add to the spaciousness. The ultimate of luxury is accentuated by the meticulous designs: the unique pattern created by curved herringbone parquet flooring5, the marble wall5 and fireplace5 that characterise the living room, the original/natural wood plank5 that forms the dining table. Sofas and high-chairs5 are placed on the flat roof to create a private sky bar6 with wide views1.

Moreover, the master bedroom has set aside a generous space for a dressing room and makes the best use of space, one example being the clever design that creates a storage space6 behind the dresser. The bathroom of the master ensuite has windows and is fitted with classy accessories, such as Italian Gessi5 washbasin faucet and shower-set and a British Victoria+Albert5 bathtub. The scalloped marble-walled shower cubicle5 and brushed yellow brass shower-set5 also exudes a touch of style and sophistication.

The open kitchen features exquisite materials and equipment from renowned German manufacturers. These include top-end household appliances from Gaggenau5 and high-quality kitchen faucet from Dornbracht5. The kitchen cabinets from the Italian brand Moldunova5 are characterised by matching hues and a sense of elegance. There is a separate “back of house area” for arranging household chores with a sub-entrance that leads to the public lift lobby, distinguishing greater privacy and elegance for the residents.
