INWARD JOURNEY
Stepping into this 3,000-sq-ft flat in Sky Oasis in Macau, you will be welcomed by the warmth of the natural materials
– a simplistic, minimalist symphony of three kinds of wood, stone, paper and an occasional hint of brass. The demure lighting throughout immediately
stills your mind and
invites you to explore this forest of details. Meandering through the bar, the dining area and towards the living room, your best guide is the curvaceous wooden structure which is visible from all directions. The rustic yet graceful centerpiece-combo – the coiling ceramic vase and the floral arrangement by Hong Kong ceramist Ryan and WY and florist Jan respectively – flanked by terrazzo and washi adorns the space with a splash of zen.
While you are mesmerised by the Eastern charm of the installation, the modern, westernized elegance of the living room on a lower level takes you to another realm – a den that exhibits timeless and non-ostentatious luxury made possible by neutral hues, custom-made low furniture with clean-line silhouette and tactile fabrics. This contemporary area is linked effortlessly with the adjacent dining room and bar by the conscious, repeated application of terrazzo and the pared-down three types of wood, contributing to the unity, clarity and continuity of the common areas.
EASTERN AESTHETICS The dining room is modulated into a minimal, clutter-free wooden space whereby the wagami lamps and the wooden stripes are reminiscent of clouds in the woods. Such mono ambience is balanced and enriched by the discreet infusion of brass and stone in the bar, showcasing a modern interpretation of Eastern aesthetics.
JAPANESE TEAROOM The rhythm of the common areas extends to the Japanese tearoom and the master room on a raised level. Visible through the curvy centerpiece, these rooms receded near the main entrance can be flexibly opened up and closed when one needs privacy – thanks to the Japanese-inspired folding doors.
