VERDANT INTERLUDE
A Romantic French-Inspired Retreat
At the core of "Monet Elegance" is the vision of creating a romantic French-inspired space that seamlessly merges opulent design with modern minimalism. Drawing inspiration from classic French architecture and impressionist styles, we explore the integration of maximalist elements while considering how they harmonize with a contemporary minimalist lifestyle. The resulting space achieves a refined and tranquil balance between French romanticism and the simplicity of modern design.

Chapter One
As daylight floods every corner, the space comes alive with layered dimensions and a vibrant harmony of color.
We retained the original staircase railing and applied a fresh coat of black paint. The existing geometric patterns on the glass perfectly resonate with the new space.
Through a curated interplay of diverse materials, we craft a unified narrative—distinct in their individuality yet seamlessly harmonious in composition.
The original space, defined by its abundance of curved wall structures, is thoughtfully reinterpreted through a delicate balance of soft lines and rich textures, subtly embodying the essence of both romanticism and minimalism.
By employing a consistent design language, each space is introduced through a unified "entrance" concept, fostering a seamless flow and visual coherence throughout the interior.
The adjacent curved glass brick wall softens the sunlight, creating a dialogue between the original materials and the new design.
Chapter Two
Each light fixture has been thoughtfully curated to enhance the space. As night falls, the soft lighting accentuates the textures and contours, while delicate shadows introduce depth, evoking a refined sense of tranquil sophistication.
Elegant marble, rich wood, and handcrafted pieces with rustic textures are complemented by bespoke lighting and custom furniture designs, crafting a serene and tasteful environment.
