Abstract
Sipping a pina colada by a pool with a sweeping view of the cove where the odd boat briefly sails before disappearing round the headland, one perhaps would be forgiven for believing oneself being on a resort island off Greece. But then the mobile phone rings, business beckons, and it's back to work in Central in half an hour or so.
Is it possible that such a hideaway exists in densely populated Hong Kong, and only a short drive away from the busy central business district? It is, but, as the architect would tell you, turning it into reality was by no means easy.
