RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The project inspiration research is to create a show home which can give the residence a continuing feel of classical luxury. Every square foot of this project demonstrates complete beauty from floor to ceiling as well as intricate luxurious touches throughout. Sensuously rich materials evoking, and indeed incorporating precious jewels have been combined for interior architectural detailing and color applications celebrating historical grandeur. One of the unique aspects of the design is to incorporate some local cultural touch and art on accessories and collectibles.
CHALLENGE: The challenge of this large 2,300 square meters villa is that we did have a big dream to achieve the ultimate luxury by finding the spectacular European Classical furnishings such as light fixture and furniture in a very short schedule since the client only gave us a short time to source and purchase because construction contractors they hired have taken too long in redoing and refining the classical detailing to pass our design approval.
