Design Details

Unique Properties
Stepping into the foyer, you will be greeted by a curvaceous wall incorporating an organic lotus-patterned wooden floor reflecting a sense of fluidity from the natural surroundings of the space. The chandelier handmade by a Portuguese craftsman contrasts directly with the detailed brass marble dinner table. The contours of the furnishings are soft and curved creating contrasting lines and textures to the neat lines of the fireplace while natural daylight is spread strategically all over the home. The off-white shade perfectly matches to exude a warm glow even with the beige monotone.
Inspiration
This project is inspired by the Cycladic culture, best known for its schematic flat female idols carved out of the islands' pure white marble. It is important for the design to follow the core values of traditional Cycladic architecture found on the Greek islands by discovering its curvaceous shapes in all kinds of forms.
Research
The design is used seductive simplicity, and a neutral palette to design a serene and sensual living area by embracing the curve. Be it a wall, a piece of furniture, or even a detail such as a door handle, there is barely a straight line to be seen. For the wall finishes, a group of artists was assembled to hand-paint stucco patterns in different variations.
Challenge
Custom making the round-edge furniture was one thing; the walls quite another. There is a particularly challenging replaced the offending sharp corner to be a curved door leading into the couple's bedroom, continuing with the same design language.
Realization and Technology
Inspired by pin-up pink sand beaches in Crete Greece, Pink hue marble was used in the powder. For the streamlined effect on the curved wall, the designers sourced seamless artificial Ottostone. Calcutta marble and white were added to the bathroom, and the veining in the stone brings visual interest, spacious and bright to the space.
Operation and Interaction
The original three bedrooms were more than the client needed, so the space was reconfigured to provide a generous main suite with an extravagant walk-in wardrobe and a wellness-inspired bathroom with a jacuzzi.
Project Duration and Location
The project started in July 2021 and finished in July 2022 in Hong Kong.
Specifications
The project is 1,468 square meters.
