UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A cosmopolitan couple, the owners have lived in Singapore, London, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and now Shanghai. As much as they are very open to new environments and enjoy the diverse lifestyle of these modernistic cities, they have never forgotten their roots. This belief is reflected throughout the interior design elements;
This deep space is where the occupants, and their cat, lay back and let their minds wander. It is a place where visitors never cease to marvel, and magazine editors love to feature. We hope you enjoy this unique space as much as we enjoyed designing and building it.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The guest reception by the entrance leads to a central hall that is flanked by the dining area and the open kitchen, separated by the bar counter. The open volume allows guests to take in the noble atmosphere and mingle with everyone while the hosts rustle up in the kitchen. The antique cinema chairs allow friends to relax and chatter better proceeding to dinner, and an illuminated cabinet wall by the dinging table houses glassware and tea sets for easy accessibility during or after meals. Even their cat has her very own scratching chair, designed and weaved by Kwodrent.
