The client’s brief was to craft their eclectic vision of a home into a striking, balanced, unified design. The client envisioned their home to be a place for friends to gather & share lively conversation and deep thoughts.
Design elements carry an understated flavour of old world Indochine charm, while abundant plant features and rougher accents such as industrial lighting and distressed surfaces rusticate and soften while adding another layer of interest to the space.
Curved arches and painted edges takes inspiration from the Indochine style as the design language found here follows classical timeless shapes while at the same time integrating retro and vintage elements of Southeast Asia.
The central living space incorporates an open kitchen, bar counter, abundant seatings and dining room, which leads towards an open study area. The kitchen was designed to be less of a separate space and more of an extension of a lounge.
These spaces are united by black painted arches, which informs the different usage of spaces but keeps the layout open for flexible use.
The colour scheme was decided on as a way of creating a harmonious interior by using subtle tonal changes. In order to create an environment that feels harmonious, subtle layering and tone in tone methods were used. Green colour was chosen for wall paint, tiles, wallpaper and joinery but in varying tones, scales and intensity.
Vintage chairs in rattan and tables in teak together with the dark wooden parquet floor adds a matureness to the overall colour scheme, while the aged mirrors and brass accents adds an industrial but luxurious feel to the space.
The guest bath is designed to be intimate, blanketed with copper and dark green hues. The master bath, in contrast, has a lighter, more utilitarian feel adorned with abundant greenery.
