FS: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
DC: The design concept is derived from country estate villas of the 18th century France complete with Corinthian capital, baseboard, and crown moulding. The soft colour palette from ivory to pastel was used in the entire villa to create an inviting and relaxing living environment while possessing a sense of luxury. Together with the French classical floral relief motif on the ceiling, Boiserie wall panels and Trompe-l’œil scenes that are displayed throughout the Interior space, these elegant interiors speak to the discerning buyers of this exclusive development.
FS: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
DC: Soft ivories and pastels are used to re-create a genteel French country flavor with splashes of regal jewel tones used to accentuate the formal salons and masculine recreation chambers.

FS: What is the most unique aspect of your design?
DC: The conceptual analysis phase of this project drove the merging of a French classical style interior with local Chinese culture and presented an interesting challenge. The use of Chinoiserie furniture, arts and accessories from the late 18th century France into this show villa reflect the close ties of this period with the prevalent influences of the Chinese culture. Unique accessories were acquired to re-enact this glamorous era; a Portuguese copper steam distiller from Ai-Ambig (founded in 1837) for the distillation of essential oils upon arrival in the entry; an antique tellurian shaped cigarette musical box and whisky tasting set from Scotland become a blindfolded tasting event of Scotch in the lower level bar; a pair of limited edition porcelain tigers by Derosa with a tea set from Haviland set the stage for an afternoon tea on the first floor.
