Homi Villa

Homi Villa is a private residence in the 1930s by Mr. Jehangir Hormusjee Ruttonjee. It remained the property of the Ruttonjee family until it was acquired by the Government in 1973. The house once served as the residence of Sir Philip Haddon-Cave, the Financial Secretary at that time. In 1995, it was converted into the Airport Core Programme Exhibition Centre, which was opened to public and has become a hot spot of Tsuen Wan tourism.

Homi Villa is a rare example of a colonial country residence of the New Territories. The original Homi Villa was constructed in Neo-Classical colonial style with an open balustraded verandah and a curved flight of steps leading up to the main entrance. Classical architectural details include white stucco-work, classical columns and ornamental balustrading to the verandahs and roof parapets. Renovations, alterations and additions works for the conversion into Airport Core Programme Exhibition Centre have not detracted from the elegant appearance of Homi Villa.
