Four Assassins - Will Yun Lee (2011) - Perowne House, Perowne Barracks

I did mention in my last post for Four Assassins that the film's own website included some production photos of the building on Perowne Barracks that served as the main studio space for the variety of internal sets. You can click through to the website here, but just in case it disappears one day I have "borrowed" one of its images of the main building.

I didn't post this initially because I had a real hard time trying to find out where "Perowne House" was exactly, no amount of googling returned any useful information, but it turns out that it was located in the north section of the camp - separated from the rest of the camp when the new Tuen Mun Highway was constructed right through the middle. This part of the camp contained a variety of sports grounds as well as the gym and the aforementioned Perowne House.

This whole section of the old camp was redeveloped circa 2011 into the Harrow International School and a very large multi-unit housing development called "The Bloomsway". So I think it's safe to assume this is why the film crew had the run of the place. Perowne House was located at the eastern end of what is now a luxury house development called "The Highlands". Anyway, mystery solved. As far as I can tell the image below is the only online picture of the place.
