When an art connoisseur couple bought this 2,500-sq-ft home, they imagined a place for their art collection that also doubles as the family’s social hub. "The clients requested a contemporary sanctuary blended with understated luxury,” interior designer Max Lam explained. "So we created a functional yet sophisticated layout that still has plenty of space for family time."
At the heart of the home, the living room was built for entertaining. The area is outfitted with an L-shaped sofa from Minotti, Roche Bobois’ Dolphin armchairs and a stainless steel coffee table. A custom rose-gold fireplace keeps the room warm and cosy, while the textured stones, brass and wooden accents surrounding it add even more depth and warmth. Fort Street Studio's artistic silk carpet dresses the floor, while Sun Guangyi's art work, acquired by Sin Sin Fine Art, decorates the wall. A balcony that overlooks Tai Tam Bay is attached to the living room, inviting guests to take in the sights and sounds of nature.
Moving onto the dining room, Lam and his team curated an immersive dining experience with handpicked furniture pieces. “We used Poliform's Concorde dining table and Grace dining chairs, elevated by the soft glow exuded from Tom Dixon’s Spring pendant lamp,” said Lam. “Underneath the table setting is the Seraphinite rug designed by Eduardo Dente for Roche Bobois, which adds an alluring touch."
An equal amount of effort was poured into the transformation of the kitchen. The semi-open area is a home cook’s dream, boasting German-made kitchen cabinets set against exquisite tiles and floorings.
The master bedroom follows the same subtle glamour. An understated luxury is achieved with a velvet bed, headboard and bedside tables from Minotti, and a snug, sea-view reading nook. The room also showcases more art with an exclusive area that's home to a Cherries sculpture by Lothar, purchased from a London gallery.
In the master bathroom, Lam crafted a luxurious bathing experience for the busy couple’s ultimate pleasure at home. “The spacious area has two sinks on an elongated vanity top, a Japanese onsen-inspired shower area and an oval bathtub for ultimate relaxation,” Lam explained. “A water fountain shower option is also available.”
The children’s rooms are furnished in two different aesthetic approaches. The son's sophisticated room is decorated with curved wooden panels that meet the ceilings seamlessly, while the daughter's room features a delicately illuminated dropped ceiling for a crisp, modern look.
But the work didn’t stop there. Anticipating a modern family’s needs, Lam's team installed home automation systems with fully integrated air conditioning, advanced lighting solutions, electrical curtains and more. The holistic creative approach echoes one of Lam’s design values: every detail counts.
