Damien Hirst, eat your heart out. A handsome bike in a vitrine might just be more eye-catching than a lifeless shark in a tank.
Maybe it’s just me.
The bicycle-as-art exhibit is, apparently, not always the first thing visitors notice when they enter this 2,560 sq ft, three-bedroom family home in Repulse Bay, given the apartment’s numerous talking points.
“They can see the bike but I think they are more attracted to the garden and overall layout,” says Travis Wong, who, with wife Ashley Yeung and their two children (ages five and seven), moved into the flat late last year after its seven-month renovation.
There to delineate the living areas and study, the transparent appendage is a multitasking room divider that also enhances the apartment’s expansive feel. In the family’s previous home, Wong’s bike hung from a wall behind a sofa.
