The Jurors Lists for 1894-1896 don't mention this building.
In 1897 & 1898 they show a single resident from Arnhold Karberg & Co.:
s
Beurmann
Carl
Merchant
Arnhold Karberg & Co.
Luginsland
Peak Road
Then no mention again in 1899, but several in 1900:
c
Barrett
William Curwen
Assistant
Butterfield & Swire
Lugensland
Peak Road
c
Harley
William Frank
Assistant
Butterfield & Swire
Lugensland
c
Ross
John Adam
Assistant
Butterfield & Swire
Lugensland
Peak Road
There's no family connection between the three names, suggesting that Lugensland (aka Luginsland) was the Bachelors' Mess for Butterfield & Swire at the time.
So it looks as though it was two separate residences initially, 1 & 2, and only combined when Swire moved in. Or even a single residence in 1891, split by 1895, then combined again for Swire?
Is "Schuting (Luginsland)" how it's written in the directory, or was it known as Schuting initially?
The Michaelson's named both houses they lived in "Schuting". The directory puts in the original names - Luginsland and Upper Albany - names that were used again after the Michaelson's moved out.
Schuting might be an incorrect translation. Stephan Cornelius Michaelsen (not Michaelson!) was born in Bremen, Germany and was with Melchers & Co. The Building of the Chamber of Commerce in Bremen is actually called Schütting. The Letter Ü is a so called Umlaut, its not used in the english language as far as i know. I think it fits, that Michaelsen named is house after the Chamber of Commerce of his hometown. Michaelsen later moved back to Bremen and worked for the Bank E. C. Weyhausen.
The name Luginsland is of German origin and means "Look into the country(side)". It originates from southern parts of Germany and is old-fashioned. It was (and partly is) used for look-out towers, hills and also for "buildings with a view".

Michaelsen was German, with Melcher's, and way also the Russian Consul.
