Waterfront Domicile

Nestled within picturesque crystal-clear sea bay of land below the wind, this magnificent 5-storey bungalow spans across its 18,000 sqft interiors hosting seven bedrooms that houses a truly multi-generational family home with the head of the family and his wife live here with their three adult children and their respective young families where boasts the epitome of a luxury home.

The overarching concept was succinct; to intertwined aestheticism and functionality in a manner that creates poetry from cement and brick. Fused between contemporary and classic interiors, four master bedrooms are with nearly similar floor areas, but each bedroom is appropriately measured by considering user’s ergonomic requirements and circulation patterns to formulate their expectations. This is to enable them to make the maximum use of each space.

The primary family activity areas were extended through the peripheral with the creation of intermediary spaces of timber decking verandah and landscape garden with koi fishpond, green house, and rattan gazebo. It aims to effortlessly connect the interior with the outdoor mini eco oasis. The tranquil atmosphere of the garden encapsulates the notion as an escape from the bustling city life.

With the nature of communal dining for a big family, where dishes are typically shared around the table, the circle of the round dining table symbolizes reunion or ‘团圆’ in Chinese. Therefore, the relationship of these three spaces is design towards this principle. Sometimes, owner may have breakfast on the dry kitchen countertop; teatime at the outdoor timber decking verandah with a view to the sea; and dinner in the dining area. Here will be the most heart-warming place in this house.

As the most trafficked areas in the house, the relationship among dining area, dry kitchen and outdoor timber decking verandah has become the hierarchy in the house as they provide plenty of space for the family to entertain their guests and have intimate family gatherings amidst ample natural lighting and sea breeze from morning wake-ups to after-works nights in.

Coming to the enchanting landscape garden, customize dramatic light sculpture installation inspired by tree with the use of stainless steel coated in black titanium to withstand rusting from the sea breeze and its edge is finished up with light bulbs inside Archilux globes; it then become a key focal point of the night garden. While walking through the green house where vegetations are planted, there is a direct view to the tree light sculpture installation.
