A special administrative region of China, Hong Kong is an exotic destination, with more than 250 islands. Once a British Colony, Hong Kong became a part of China in 1997. Apart from a hot tourist center, Hong Kong is also regarded as a great business center, and is sometimes referred to as the ‘Gateway to the booming economy of China.’
Further, in contrast to other Asian destinations, Hong Kong has a very low crime rate, and hence considered a safe place to live in. Since a former British colony, a strong influence of westernized culture is prevalent here. Al though, majority of Hong Kong’s population is made up of Chinese, the city also include people from other nations including Australia, the UK, Canada, Japan, and Korea. Probably for this reason, real estate market in Hong Kong is booming.
Whether you are a permanent resident or a tourist to the city, Hong Kong boasts of a continuum of accommodation options, according to your taste, lifestyle, and budget. Hotels, resorts, condotels, and villas would be some of the best accommodation for people touring Hong Kong for a short period.
For long stays as well as permanent settlements, some of the much favored accommodation choices are single detached homes, flats, apartments, and townhouses. Along with these accommodation choices, condominiums or condo units are also considered a great housing option in Hong Kong.
A condominium living is quite different from other residential choices including owning or renting an apartment, villa, or a single dwelling space. When you decide to stay in a condominium it means that you have made up your mind to live with a group of other condominium owners.
Depending upon your tastes and preferences, a variety of condo units are available in Hong Kong, from low budget condominiums to high end luxury condominium complexes. Different types of condominiums available here include apartment model condo units and townhouse, which is mostly attached with garage and yard space. Hong Kong condominiums are also sometimes available in the form of single detached buildings.
Condominiums units in Hong Kong are mostly replete with expansive living rooms, superb bedrooms coupled with relaxed beds, sophisticated kitchen, and bath area. No matter it is small or big, luxury or ordinary, condominium units in Hong Kong mostly come with such amenities as cable television, heating and air conditioning facilities, provision for hot and cold water, balcony providing excellent views, and professional services.
Luxury units usually include high-end common facilities such as laundry facilities, game rooms, whirlpool spas and saunas, swimming pools, meeting rooms, parking areas, round the clock on-site security system, intercom security system, on-site office for property management, solarium with areas for gatherings and social activities, specialized areas for outdoor recreational activities, salons with expert massage therapist, parking areas, and on-site workshop.
Owning a condominium in Hong Kong offers a myriad of benefits. One of the great benefits of living in condo units is that it enables you to reside in a well-controlled community. Security is another key benefit of living in Hong Kong, as many of the condominiums are attached with top-end monitoring system. Benefits of living in condominium also include low interior as well as exterior maintenance costs and access to such facilities as elevators and swimming pools.
Mostly, people staying in condominium complexes have common lifestyle and preferences, which in turn allow you to lead a comfortable life. For instance, there are condominium units especially designed and constructed for people like retirees and single people. Above all, purchasing a condominium unit in Hong Kong is considered a great long term investment, guaranteeing excellent returns. However, the price of condominium units is exceptionally high in contrast to other accommodations options such as apartments and single houses.
However, it is important to consider certain important matters prior to purchasing a condominium in Hong Kong. The rules and regulations pertaining to condo units vary from condominiums to condominiums. In certain cases, the condominium association or group put forward some kind of restrictions to own pets or to use a particular facility. Hence, such matters must be checked for. Purchasing or renting a condo unit in Hong Kong is no longer a tedious process. A myriad of real estate companies and property builders are there in order to help you find a condo unit that suits your requirements.

Try this site – sections on color, layout, how to interior design and all rooms and styles – very easy to read.
I suggest starting at the 'How to Design' section, which will then link you in to the color section too.
First of all, you are mixing terms.
Townhouse is a type of design. In the US, it typically refers to a two story, apartment looking thing like you'd find in an urban setting. Wikipedia says: "Townhomes" usually consist of non-uniform units in suburban areas that are designed to mimic detached or semi-detached homes.
Condominium is an ownership method. The building itself is owned by a condominium corporation. The corporation is jointly owned by all the residents, and charges themselves fees for general maintenance and major repairs. In condominiums, the resident "owns" only the airspace of the interior (cannot moidify without approval of the Condo Corp).
You can rent space in a storage garage. They will start it once in a while also. I would guess that there are a number of people in your situation, so some such facilities are prolly near the airport.
i went and left you one..i like them they are nice
The presence of a master bedroom assumes the "two people" are a couple that share a bedroom. Would Windsor Store's typical customer be a married couple or a couple living together?
Most dwelling places have a "main" bedroom that is the largest bedroom and has a separate bath. This is often called a "master suite" or "master bedroom." Most condos would be laid out that way.
For some inspiration, try an internet search on "condominium floor plan." You should find plenty of ideas.
I like everything up until the master bedroom. I was very impressed until I realized the after was actually the before. Meaning I liked the room more the way it was before. the red and white is extremely elegant and looks wonderful. The new color of teh wall is nice though. It sort of depends on your age now… If you're older than 25, the red and white is more for you. If you're younger, the after is more for you. The curtains are also a nice touch, if you stick with red and white, i'm sure you could find something to match that color scheme but remember not to get anything too clashy, no curtains with patterns that are huge and overdone! something simple, just wiht a hint of red maybe.
The master bath is great, the other one is not. It's dull. The sink and everything else in it is of great taste, but you shoudl add something to the walls, something blue maybe. The furniture seems so out of place with such dull walls, it could look so much better.
The other bedroom is amazing. I love what you changed it into, it made the biggest difference overall.
the family however… very plain. it looks like the room isn't done yet. there's a lot missing.the color of the walls does not fit with white and light brown wood (floor). you could do so much with the table. it looks very empty. add some coffee tables on the sides of the couches, make it look personal and full. some picture frames. make sure they don't clash with each other though. add a simple carpet maybe, nothing too big. just under the table. nothing colorful and tacky, just something beige-ish with a pattern.
Kitchen is also great. dining furniture is nice, there's not much to with that. although, the pictures on teh wall clash with the beige, white, and the floor. doesn't make too much of a nice blend. you might want to change their frames to the same brown as wood on the back of the couch or shelf i can't tell what it is (in the dining picture).
The sitting room is lovely; very elegant. but if you would like to add some color somewhere, this is where you can. The pillows could work in another color, maybe a light kind of relaxing green. light yellow even.
Overall, impressive =)
Switzerland… Just about everyone here makes good money and most look for vacations houses outside of Switzerland.
Your best bet would be the United kingdom. The English & British love Flordia.

good luck!
very nice. sleek. the only issue i have with it is the fact that there are two showers in the master bath. the tub with the shower curtain should just be an open bath. maybe something like this:

what do you think? such a sleek design would be better served without a curtain, and would open it up three more feet or so. i like the gray, it wouldn't work with anything but. and the bed in front of the window is not a problem. what program did you use for this? very impressive.
