GOLDEN EDGE

MOW Interior has articulated the couple’s preferences with a series of architectural details that creates a cohesive design language throughout the house. The white walls with their white beadings and panels are a nod to Scandinavian design. The feature wall in the living space is finished with book-matched slabs of Volakas marble; the stone’s white base and delicate grey veining are a perfect blend of the husband’s and wife’s tastes.

The golden lighting piece in the living area is a contemporary take on a traditional crystal chandelier. The shelves and wall recesses are also airbrushed with gold paint, a thoughtful design decision that saves time and maintenance cost without sacrificing the opulent touch. “We could have used metal sheets, but as this condominium is located near the sea, the metal will be quick to rust,” says Ong.

A gold screen wedged between the living and dining areas completes the look. The surface behind the screen is glazed, and the screen itself serves as an extension of the wall that neatly rounds off the shape of the room without blocking the natural light in the living area, all while adding an extra touch of opulence to the space.
