Irreversi - Mei Melançon (2010) - 1 Chatham Path, Central Mid-levels

The next location is quite a historical one. In the film's plot it is a unique house designed by renowned Chinese architect "E.L Xiong" but in reality it is the equally renowned and thankfully still around  (for the time being) 1 Chatham Path. The house was built in 1927 by John Caer Clark as a private residence, but between 1952 and 1973 operated as an exclusive private school. The building is currently owned by Sino Land and is still listed as a residential property up for lease if you have the wonga. 

In the film, Adam knows it's Lynda's favourite building in Hong Kong and he sneakily buys it for her as a surprise. A significant amount of filming was done at the property and I have far too many screencaps to include, but here are some better ones.
