THE HONG KONG HOUSE
AR Design Studio
The Hong Kong House is a private extension
and renovation project, completed in late
2017 by Winchester based architects AR
Design Studio. A world away from the client’s
former home in Hong Kong, the house
provides an opportunity for the family to have
a familiar inside-out space to live in and relax.

Set beside an ancient Roman Road, the
existing Grade II listed Victorian property is a
beautiful townhouse of proud red brick. The
clients bought the house for its scale and
charm and approached AR Design Studio
to help bring it up to modern standards and
provide a much needed connection to their
stunning walled garden.
AR Design Studio’s approach to the existing
listed house focused on sensitive restoration.
The removal of the existing kitchen allowed
for the creation of a quiet drawing room
while setting up an enfilade of spaces along
the rear of the home. The family room is the
bridge between the rooms of the home and
the new garden room.
