Driven by a deep respect for heritage, the design team drew inspiration from the client's Chinese ancestry. They sourced materials from China to infuse the interior with a distinct, authentic ambiance. The result is a design style that is uniquely the client's, reflecting their roots while accommodating their contemporary lifestyle.
The Oriental Fusion is a testament to the timeless appeal of vintage collections. The resident, a proud owner who honors his Chinese tradition, now enjoys a modern Oriental Fusion design that caters to his present-day needs. Elements of Feng Shui have been incorporated to signify prosperity, an abundance of goodness, and authority.
Embracing the era of modernization, the design team has carefully incorporated smart technologies into the interior. Automation, controlled through voice and smartphones, has been wired throughout the house, allowing the resident to fully enjoy a modern lifestyle. Classic items have been modernized, such as a "Tiffin" transformed into a functional and aesthetically pleasing side table. This is just one of the many ways the design team has created avant-garde pieces while preserving the essence of tradition.
The Oriental Fusion is a 20,000 square foot condominium located in the heart of Penang, Malaysia, boasting a beautiful sea view. The design team faced the challenge of utilizing every inch of space in a style that seamlessly links one room to another without being overwhelming. The result is a harmonious flow of chi energy throughout the condo, enhanced by the breathtaking sea view surrounding the property.
The project, completed in February 2020, is the product of extensive research on ancient Chinese interiors and affluent lifestyles. The design team extracted elements of shape and meaning from traditional interiors and reimagined them in this modern penthouse. Images of mountains symbolize stability and earth, while bamboo represents moral integrity, resistance, modesty, and loyalty. These elements, along with selected furniture and Feng Shui principles, create a space that is aesthetically calming and symbolically rich.
The Oriental Fusion design was awarded Silver in the A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award in 2021. This prestigious accolade is a testament to the design's outstanding expertise, creativity, and innovation. The design, admired for its strong technical characteristics and splendid artistic skill, introduces positive feelings, amazement, and wonder.
