Tightly choreographed geometries and flush surfaces reinforce the original design concept of “Interface and Lining” which contribute to the feeling of openness and maximized square areas. Whereas the public spaces are open, light, and fluid, the private space - boudoir and dressing area, master-bath, and powder room are intimate and lined with wood, glass, and stone.
