This is the last in the series of Deep Water Bay photos,  does anyone recognize the building and the view?

Hi there,

I think we have a match of the approximate location.  It should be one of the residential blocks, a town house type, below Island Road.  The beach is not visible in this photo, however.

Best Regards,

T

The building is 'Blue Bay' on 44 Island Road in Deep Water Bay. The building still exists today.

Here is a link to a google maps photo: https://www.google.com/maps/@22.2392198,114.1882106,3a,37.5y,194.19h,81.91t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sYa9eF3v3WIdcVJG_jY36GA!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo0.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3DYa9eF3v3WIdcVJG_jY36GA%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D12.80316%26pitch%3D0!7i13312!8i6656

The top of the building can still be recognised.

I have previously posted information on this private residence including the plans and details of the architect.  It is listed under 44 Island Road on this site.
