After an afternoon of viewings in South Lantau in 2021, Lynn Fung was ready to give up on her search for the perfect summer escape when her estate agent mentioned he knew of a pilot living in the area who was looking to sell his house.
“At that point, we were quite dispirited already and expected very little,” says Fung, who is director at Liang Yi Museum, the largest private museum in Hong Kong, and is formerly an editor at Tatler.
“When we got there, we knew instantly this was the one.”
Fung was inspired to craft the ideal weekend home about a year into the pandemic. “By this point, like everyone else, we had been in Hong Kong since Christmas 2019. We were going a bit stir-crazy and felt like we needed a project.” At the time they bought the house, she and her husband had a ten-month-old baby and a “very energetic” nine-month-old chocolate labrador; she has since welcomed her second child. “There were not that many places in Hong Kong that were both dog- and baby-friendly, so we had to create our own.” Her husband had originally wanted to buy land on Lantau and build a home from scratch, but after realising the red tape that comes with doing so, the couple eventually decided it wasn’t worth the effort.
