BEST PENTHOUSE PROJECT

Designworx Interior Consultant

The Asian-inspired elements in this contemporary three-storey penthouse strike a perfect balance between East and West. At the behest of the homeowner, an avid traveller whose favourite destinations include Japan and China, Terri Tan, design director of Designworx Interior Consultant, pulled out all the stops to incorporate unique Eastern details into the decor. In the living room, a hand-painted silk screen from Jiangsu featuring red-crowned Japanese cranes provides the perfect backdrop for a golden bonsai, which was commissioned in Guangzhou. In the dining area, a Japanese-inspired timber screen provides a refreshing contrast to British designer Tom Dixon’s metallic Melt pendants. Elsewhere, cohesive elements such as timber features and gold flourishes echo the theme. Designer European furnishings, including Marcel Wanders’ Cyborg Club armchairs and beds by Italian furniture makers Flou and Molteni&c, add a luxurious finishing touch to this holiday home.
