“Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury” — Coco Chanel
The definition of dream life has been elevated to a higher level. High-end house is not only concerning about the location, the size, and the material use, but also the level of comfort.
When you first entered the house, the semi-transparent entrance to the home creates a sense of layering between the virtual and the real. There is also a fireplace designed at the entrance hall. Imagine pushing the door open in the winter, and the warmth is coming over, sweeping all the cold away
It is then followed by a public space. Through a large floor-to-ceiling glass window, there is a modern curved balcony, which provides a place to enjoy a versatile penthouse and a coastal landscape.
The main living room is juxtaposed by the dining room, which is made of wood veneer to create a warm feeling. The natural marble featured wall reflects the atmosphere of the space and satisfies the owner’s needs of having an inviting public space for entertaining and socializing.
The sun is shining, with the aroma of the tea, accompanied by laughter. This is just the moment for family leisure.

When you pay attention to the details, you will find that every single element has been carefully designed – lines, angles, lighting, material, and textures are perfectly connected.
Going upstairs to the second floor, facing the two-story floor-to-ceiling glass window, and from there you will have the chance to enjoy the bustling scene of the city. The second floor is a multi-functional design particularly designed for the owners. Besides the master bedroom, there is an entertainment space designed such as wine bar and tea room.
The design of the master bedroom is a unique space totally secluded from the outside world, giving the owners a total freedom to have their private times.
Passing through the circular hall entrance, it will be the walk-in closet, the study room, and the master bedroom that are connected in a line. The reasonable and carefully designed movement line makes each functional area independent and connected. In this place, you can have your own privacy but also gathering times; romance and warmth.
