After the usual heated debate, Collins dictionary has announced its word of the year and it is “single-use”. The term beat ‘gammon’ ‘gaslight’ and ‘MeToo’ to the top of the lexical podium after a four-fold increase in single-use plastics over the last five years.
An estimated 5.2 million plastic bottles are thrown away everyday in Hong Kong alone. The city’s dependence on single-use plastics is causing public health concerns as landfills fill up and marine life is increasingly threatened. Many fashion-conscious denizens cite the unfashionable nature of more sustainable products as a reason not to use them. But the green market is swapping its associations with burlap and sackcloth for high-tech, more sartorially sustainable options.
Gafencu looks at some high-end alternatives to single-use plastics, showing that there’s no need to sacrifice style in an effort to go green.&nbsp;

Go Green, Stay Glam: The Best Luxury Sustainable Products on the Market Right Now

The dawn of the Digital Age saw humankind embrace all things electronic. Engineers have developed smart phones, smart cars, smart watches and wearable tech. But far more elusive and ambitious is the greater project of the smart house.
We first encountered “Mount Davis Villa” when visiting the <a href="http://idffhk.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">International Design Furniture Fair</a> that ran last August at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. It was part of a touring exposition entitled <a href="http://idffhk.com/exhibitions-details/4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reading Single Family House</a>, a showcase of inventive homes in Greater China curated by Index Architecture founder Anderson Lee.
The project caught our attention as a rare subject belonging to a dying breed of single-family homes in Hong Kong. Upon closer inspection, the mystery project on Pok Fu Lam’s mountainside revealed more and more ingenious features that would delight the cultivated mind: from solar design principles and wind generators to hydro-seed technology for wall landscaping.
<figure id="attachment_33555" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-33555" style="width: 700px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-33555 size-full" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/700x466-round-heaven’s-gate_opt.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/700x466-round-heaven’s-gate_opt.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/700x466-round-heaven’s-gate_opt-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/700x466-round-heaven’s-gate_opt-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/700x466-round-heaven’s-gate_opt-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/700x466-round-heaven’s-gate_opt-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/700x466-round-heaven’s-gate_opt-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/700x466-round-heaven’s-gate_opt-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-33555" class="wp-caption-text">A round ‘Heaven’s Gate’ opening allows views into the house, and beyond, over a Jacuzzi and lap pool that protrudes toward infinity</figcaption></figure>
Clearly no funds were spared in the fulfilment of the home-owner’s vision. The man is described as a “naturalist and avid bird watcher involved with the World Wildlife Fund.” Further digging led us to Markus Jebsen, executive chairman of MF Jebsen Group and a direct descendant of Jacob Jebsen – founder of its colonial-era parent company.&nbsp; The Danish businessman belongs to a 120-year-old trading family whose assets include one of the world’s largest Porsche dealerships and Blue Girl, the city’s best-selling brew.
“The owner insisted on environmental friendliness and as much self-sufficiency as possible,” said architect and interior designer Santa Raymond, who reviewed the project. “Materials and construction methods aimed to be [as] sustainable as possible, with – for instance – rubble from demolition being used to level the site. Wind turbines were considered but, apart from planning issues, the lack of access to a local grid into which to feed excess power removed this as a practical option.”
The three-storey house sits on the southern slope of Mount Davis with broad views over the Lamma Channel. Formerly occupying this 600-square-metre site was a one-storey European house with a swimming pool belonging to a relative. It was demolished to make way for the current building, which is sandwiched between Mount Davis Road from the top and Victoria Road below.
<figure id="attachment_33558" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-33558" style="width: 466px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-33558 size-full" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/466x700-Villa-on-Mount-Davis_opt.jpg" alt="" width="466" height="700" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/466x700-Villa-on-Mount-Davis_opt.jpg 466w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/466x700-Villa-on-Mount-Davis_opt-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/466x700-Villa-on-Mount-Davis_opt-186x280.jpg 186w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/466x700-Villa-on-Mount-Davis_opt-120x180.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/466x700-Villa-on-Mount-Davis_opt-400x601.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 466px) 100vw, 466px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-33558" class="wp-caption-text">Tree planting was encouraged to create shade, reduce temperatures, and attract birdlife.</figcaption></figure>
Award-winning architecture and urban design firm <a href="https://farrells.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Farrells</a> was chosen to turn this vision of an eco-friendly family home into reality. Designers were initially set back by the long and narrow site; regulations limited interior space to just 420-square-metres across three floors. In response to the rectangular constraints, Farrells designed a long building – a concept partially inspired by the Malaysian longhouse. The form ultimately allowed wide sea views from most rooms, promoted cross ventilation and provided an acoustic shield.
To the north, a large vertical stone façade anchors the house to the ground and shelters the dwelling from the road. Clad in split face stone, the wall is reminiscent of Mount Davis itself. The stainless steel roof, inclined at 30 degrees, also echoes the slope of the hill.&nbsp;
On the ground floor, inhabitants congregate in the double-height family room, which has direct access to the external garden terrace and children’s swimming pool. Guest bedrooms are located here as well, while the family’s bedrooms are on the second floor.
The first level is comprised of the kitchen, main living room and dining space. A large opening in the stone feature wall makes up the main entrance, accessed from the outside by a cantilevered staircase. A spiritual rejuvenation area – designed to ‘let the dragon through’ – includes both a gymnasium and a projecting infinity lap-pool.
<figure id="attachment_33559" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-33559" style="width: 466px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-33559 size-full" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/466x700-infinity-lap-pool_opt.jpg" alt="" width="466" height="700" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/466x700-infinity-lap-pool_opt.jpg 466w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/466x700-infinity-lap-pool_opt-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/466x700-infinity-lap-pool_opt-186x280.jpg 186w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/466x700-infinity-lap-pool_opt-120x180.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/466x700-infinity-lap-pool_opt-400x601.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 466px) 100vw, 466px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-33559" class="wp-caption-text">The 2m x 12.5m infinity lap pool overlooking Lamma Channel</figcaption></figure>
For all its aesthetic appeal, the villa was fundamentally designed to utilise the latest environmentally friendly technologies. Double glazed windows, large mass walls, and an insulated roof reduce the house’s cooling load. North-facing operable skylights also facilitate a stack effect for natural cooling in summer months.
The roof’s aforementioned solar collectors provide hot water that powers the water-fired absorption chiller, which provides air-conditioning. In addition, a gray water system was incorporated to collect rainwater from the large roof and garden where it is stored in a tank and used for bathroom flushing and garden irrigation.
“Young architects can’t work on anything but boxes nowadays,” says Lee, who featured the 2005 villa in his exhibition. He chose the Jebsen home as one of the few Hong Kong residences that can be proudly presented as a triumph in holistic, ‘life-cycle approach’ design.
Raymond concurs: “The house is impressive at every level. It is a highly sophisticated solution on a demanding site that works as a family house, as a part of its location and as an example of innovative thinking. Its aesthetic defies categorisation, but communicates that it is an imaginative solution to a specific location and situation.”
American naturalist Edward Osborne Wilson once said, “Nature holds the key to our aesthetic, intellectual, cognitive and even spiritual satisfaction.” For all of mankind’s advances in building and composition, it looks as if we remain destined to return to the work of the greatest designer and architect of our smart planet: Mother Earth.

Live Zero in Sai Ying Pun is the city&#8217;s first packaging-free, zero-waste store
On the 1st of February 2018, a bright little shop on the quieter side of High Street opened its doors to the public. Little did passers-by know that it was a brave pioneer in the 852 scene, as the territory&#8217;s&nbsp;first, zero-waste, bulk-buy shop.
The goal? To begin a movement that changes the way people purchase their necessities, returning us to how we humans were prior to plastic.&nbsp;

It&#8217;s not easy to go plastic-free in Hong Kong. Scant legislation on&nbsp;product packaging and waste management has prevented the development of a &#8216;mature waste market&#8217; like that of nearby Japan. However, what with the emergence of <a href="https://www.edgar.hk/">Edgar</a> in Tsim Sha Tsui, and now&nbsp;Live Zero&nbsp;in Sai Ying Pun, things are looking up. Maybe Hong Kong&#8217;s landfills won&#8217;t <a href="http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20170427-hong-kong-has-a-monumental-waste-problem" target="_blank" rel="noopener">explode in 2020</a> after all, as experts have predicted. Or it can even be as simple as having clean waters to swim in and trash-free beaches to enjoy.
Millennial 25-year-old interior designer Tamsin Thornburrow is behind the small business, which stocks a range of products from foodstuffs to personal care items. The entrepreneur has spent the last year researching brands and suppliers to feature on Live Zero&#8217;s shelves. Customers can come in with their own empty containers and fill them up with what they need, purchase pretty recyclable ones, or use whatever others have donated and left free-for-the-taking on the table by the door.&nbsp;

Thornburrow studied&nbsp;landscape architecture and previously worked for a furniture company and a homeware retailer. At 22, she launched Thorn and Burrow, a home decor shop specialising in textiles. It was there she noticed a significant appetite for reusable packaging, when sales for her stocked S&#8217;well&nbsp;stainless steel water bottles picked up.&nbsp;
The young activist-entrepreneur then opened the first iteration of Live Zero in PMQ, Central. Then, after gleaning advice from similar setup&nbsp;<a href="https://www.beunpackaged.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Unpackaged</a> in London, she decided to dive headfirst and lease the space on High Street for a full-on eco-friendly venture.
