A 6-metre full-length mirror with integrated Portoro marble inlays across the dining room. Rose-gold trims on upholstered cabinet doors. Leaf-shaped wood trims over mirrored panels. Every detail speak of luxury.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The extensive integration of mirrors into the cabinetry and walls visually expands both the living and dining spaces.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The extensive use of chrome-plated metal trimmings lends a touch of glamour to the cabinetry.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The original layout of the house was meticulously re-planned to allow for a seamless transition from the living room to the dining room, and further back to the open kitchen. The entire third floor of the house was also combined to become the master bedroom suite, which included the master bedroom, walk-in wardrobe and a bath suite.
