At the onset in conceptualizing the interiors of this classical house typology, we wanted to break its existing volumetric structure. This allows the house better connectivity, both visually and spatially, in order to bring about a modern aesthetic. With the owner being a local fusion restaurateur, the arrival ground floor entry level decidedly becomes the entertainment wing linking all spaces in the living, dining, tea, cards room and show kitchen spaces. A more private family living space ensues on the second floor with lighter tonal finishes for a more comfortable and casual setting.
