Exploring the Braga Circuit’s Art-Deco Treasures

Posted: February 25th, 2026 | No Comments »

Looking for Hong Kong’s hidden art-deco? Head up Kadoorie Avenue, just south of Kowloon Tong, and you’ll find the “Braga Circuit”. It’s an art-deco feast atop the 1930s Kadoorie Hill development, yet with a more communal feel than the walled-off and more secluded villas nearby. It’s narrow and mews-like, with garages and roof terraces yet still prestigious and highly sought after.

It’s named after the Macanese businessman José Pedro “Jack” Braga, a good friend of Elly Kadoorie. He was instrumental in planning Kadoorie Hill as Chairman of the Hongkong Engineering and Construction Co.
