In Hong Kong, it's often not possible for your home to have it all. Instead, you usually need to make a number of choices—between space and convenience, or between a freshly renovated property and a coveted location. When finance professional Mei Yee Lim purchased this home in the new Cullinan West development in Nam Cheong in 2019, she decided to go for amenities over square footage.

“She found this little oasis off West Kowloon that has sports and leisure facilities, and much more outdoor and indoor space to use within the premises,” explained Clifton Leung, founder of Clifton Leung Design Workshop, the interior design studio that Lim commissioned to design the space. For the past ten years, Lim had been living alone in roomy twobedroom apartments, so transitioning from that to her new 350-square-foot home was quite the change.
