"Light Unfolds Like a Painting" is a refined blend of high-end residence and private hospitality space, designed to immerse its users in a dynamic interplay of light, material, and form. The space features a dramatic double-height ceiling and a sculptural spiral staircase that connects the floors while enhancing spatial flow and vertical rhythm.
At the heart of the living area stands a floor-to-ceiling wine wall—both functional and visually striking. Accentuated with ambient lighting, it transforms storage into a luxury display, embodying the owner's appreciation for detail and taste.
Material selection plays a key role in shaping the sensory experience. The palette includes metal panels, titanium-coated finishes, and natural stone, balancing cool sophistication with grounded warmth. These surfaces interact beautifully with a customizable lighting system, including color-shifting LED strips that adapt the mood throughout the day.
Thoughtful details express the client’s personality and lifestyle: an entry showcase featuring the female owner's cherished Hermès scarves, a dedicated cigar lounge, an indoor green wall that brings nature inside, and a custom display for a commemorative Patek Philippe watch plate.
This is more than a home—it’s a curated space for living and entertaining, where form and function merge seamlessly. The design captures light in motion, crafting an environment that shifts with time and presence, much like a painting unfolding across the day.
