Milk and cookies, Batman and Robin, Netflix and chilling: some things in life are just better together than apart. The same is true for Max and Michelle Cheung, a married couple tasked with the project of refurbishing their 770sqft home in Tai Hang.
Though neither of them are designers, the duo joined creative forces on their home, enlisting only a contractor to help execute their vision – to exquisite results, melding together classic details with modern touches.
