The emphasis of oriental elements dance into each of the spaces, creating a timeless and elegant design. The materials such as wood, white imported marble and light fabrics play a role in the warmth of the environment. All the wall treatments resonate with the designers storytelling, creating spaces with much personality.

She designed wooden panels in five different ways, so that when uniting them they would come together as a puzzle. These lasered cut wooden pieces show the level of craftmanship and creativity. Not only does this elevate the living room but because of its location, it can be admired by the entrance, study and dining room.
