A combination of green, white and grey Bulgari stone with black Marquina marble fits the flooring of the foyer in a circular pattern. The double-height of the foyer accentuates the dramatic effect upon entry which is further glistened by a bespoke chandelier. Entering the lobby, the house divides into distinct nodes leading to separate spaces such as the living room, dining space and bar area with a guest bedroom on the side. The walls of the living area are coated in nudes with sleek mouldings—a modern interpretation of classical design.
The design narrative builds upon an experience that is regal, and opulent, yet optimises in strategic spatial planning that makes this abode completely utilitarian, providing seamless circulation throughout the space. The residence’s design intent has been enhanced by bespoke decorative lighting which caters to the dynamics of the space, lending it an aura of warmth. Downlights were incorporated to generate ambient lighting, whereas statement pieces like crystal chandeliers were installed in formal places to create a rich atmosphere, accentuating the height of the space. It is critical to have a space that evenly diffuses and distributes light while also instilling a touch of elegance, in tune with the synergy of the space.
The lower floor was designed with the intent of day-to-day use and guests’. Designed with lighter elements like wicker and wood for wardrobe shutters and headboards, the design of this space honours the age-old craftsmanship of cane, lending the room an earthy tone.
