Core Concept:
This project transcends conventional luxury paradigms, pioneering a fusion of Art Deco's mechanical precision with the understated heritage of "Old Money" sensibility. Centered on the "Precious Artifacts" metaphor, it transforms material opulence into a spatial narrative of contemporary elite identity.
Key Innovations & Strategies:
Material Symbolism:
Innovative Fusion: Liquid metal cladding over specialized wood veneers creates a unique "gold-inlaid-jade" texture, embodying exclusivity.
Sculptural Textiles: Rare silks and velvets treated with gemstone-inspired cutting techniques subtly signify privilege and refined taste.
Defining Light: Bespoke geometrically deconstructed crystal chandeliers emulate diamond refraction, casting dynamic patterns to shape an ethereal ambiance.
Spatial Reconfiguration & Experience:
Boundary Dissolution: Removal of balcony barriers and installation of gilded glass folding doors create a seamless 14-meter panoramic social axis, framing the cityscape as a dramatic backdrop.
Hybrid Zones: Classic Poltrona Frau seating forms modular "salon islands," integrated with functional African ebony side tables (featuring discreet cigar humidors), blurring private residence and exclusive club boundaries.
Domestic Gallery: The fireplace area functions as an intimate curatorial space, juxtaposing 19th-century European literature with contemporary art (e.g., Jeff Koons-inspired pieces), facilitating a dialogue between heritage and modern affluence.
Design Achievement:
Representing a significant evolution in craftsmanship, the project achieves a "habitable collectible artwork." It validates the enduring relevance of the Art Deco principle "Decoration as Power" within a contemporary context.
Outcome:
The design masterfully translates the discreet luxury codes of "Old Money" into an immersive living narrative, providing discerning clientele with a profound spatial embodiment and reaffirmation of status identity.
