SHOOT FOR THE STARS

One of the children’s bedrooms is shared by a brother and sister, therefore the colours are kept gender neutral. Another of the children’s bedrooms was already decorated in a space motif, to their great delight – the high ceilings are perfect for the theme

迷人星夜

其中一間孩子睡房屬一對小兄弟姊妹共用，故採用中性色彩。另一間孩子房則以太空裝飾為主，高樓底更加是完美一筆 was custom-made in Hong Kong – the white surface is made from Corian, a material designed to repel dirt and stains, and is purported to last a lifetime. The unusual wooden coat stand was bought in Taipei and Melissa brought back the ebony sculpture from a Tanzania safari trip.

Dominating the corner of the living room is a piano, which is played by everyone in the family so far – except for the couple’s two-year-old. Making a bold statement next to it is a large painting depicting a bustling Indonesian market. Melissa explains, "I love the market theme because I enjoy exploring markets whenever I visit a new place – there is always so much to discover." The glass sculpture of a wave with two sea urchins that’s displayed beneath it was made by Filipino artist Impy Pilapil. The sculptural wooden bench between the two pieces is made from a native Southeast Asian hardwood called narra.

剛才的精彩部分也只算上了客廳；來到相連飯廳，更多驚喜亮點待你發掘，如以Capiz貝殼製作的亮麗吊燈。Melissa指：「風吹過時，Capiz貝殼便會發出我最喜愛細聽的響聲。」夫婦在峇里The Legian看過邊櫃的復刻版後，委託酒店為他們訂購一個；雕塑櫃購自印尼爪哇一趟假期；餐椅來自Kartell。桌子在香港特製而成——白色面材以Corian製作，獨特混合數種物料，有效防污、一生受用。非凡的木衣架購自台北，而烏木雕塑則由Melissa從一趟坦桑尼亞野外之旅購回來。

佔領客廳一角的鋼琴是一家人彈奏的樂器——除了兩歲孩子還未學會之外。旁邊的焦點作就是一幅描繪印尼繁華市場的大油畫。Melissa解釋：「我喜愛市場主題，每次到訪新地方都總要到訪
