Fanling Lodge, Grade I historic building in North District, Hong Kong.

Fanling Lodge is a two-storey bungalow with a pale facade, a hipped roof and a ground-level arcade of round arches, set in a walled lawn. Designed in 1933 by government architect Stanley Feltham, it mixes Arts and Crafts, Spanish Mission Revival and Hollywood Moderne styles with Corinthian columns and Serlian arches. The interior has panelled doors, brass fittings and polished terrazzo stairs.

The building was constructed in 1934 as a summer residence for Hong Kong governors and received Grade I historic status in 2014. This recognition acknowledged its importance to Hong Kong's past.

The lodge's name comes from Fanling, the district it borders, though it stands in Kam Tsin near Kwu Tung. Its eclectic style mixes Arts and Crafts, Spanish Mission Revival and Hollywood Moderne with Corinthian columns and Serlian arches; glazed green screen blocks are a local material. Governor Sir William Peel, who proposed it, opened the grounds to garden parties of the Fanling Hunt and Race Club.

Fanling Lodge is a private official residence and is not open to the public; it stands on a 2.3-hectare wooded lot inside the Hong Kong Golf Club grounds off Castle Peak Road – Kwu Tung, in the Kam Tsin area near Fanling and Kwu Tung. The grounds, with terraced lawns front and back, a swimming pool, tennis court and a wood-and-stone pergola, are seen only from outside. A helicopter pad (WB16) on the lawn links it to Government House.

The gardens follow design principles by British landscape architect Gertrude Jekyll and feature native Hong Kong trees. This thoughtful garden design shapes the overall character of the property.
