Oriental design has always been viewed as exotic and sophisticated by connoisseurs from the West as the concept is used in many high-end hotels over the years to promote a sense of adventure amongst their travellers. Attempting to recreate this air of distinction within a property show unit, the design decisively altered conventional oriental designs that are heavily ornamented by combining minimalist influences to produce a cultured yet refined design in a residential setting. Accordingly, essential Eastern features such as rounded corners, dark earthy colour scheme and bold-veined marble are retained along with slim, clean lines of the West in perfect harmony.
Named “intercontinental”, this hybrid interior style captures the essence of Eastern and Western designs as a manifestation of the multicultural society we live in today. As such, this single bedroom unit with its open space layout and chic décor is designed to appeal to the younger and well-travelled homebuyers who are looking for a home that captivates their sense of adventure and need for comfort. At the living area, the TV console, coffee table, rug and sofa are aligned in a narrowly long design to further elongate the space, making it look more open and spacious. The grey mirror reflects the copper floral artwork behind the sofa as it expands the perception of spaciousness altogether.
Over at the other end of the hallway, its dining area overlooks the living and study area, which promotes interaction between the spaces while ensuring that the inner spaces are illuminated by natural lighting. Meanwhile, the only bedroom of this show unit embodies the main characteristics of its design in this intercontinental suite. The fabric headboard at the bedroom is separated into various widths, lined with classy brass inlay in between. At the centre, an elegant grey mirror designed with exquisite curves shaped the modern oriental vibe of its décor as the glass door that leads to the washroom is camouflaged with the glass wardrobe to create the illusion of a seamless fixture.
