Impressive
artwork, such
as this light
installation,
abound within
the common
areas in the
hotel.Both romantic and Zen-like,
the spaces feature translucent
screens, and untreated wooden
panels and layers. “This is
really about expressing a new
Asian luxury that is elegant
and subtle,” he adds. “The
design plays with the nature
of light, of intimacy and our
sense of time and history, and
I’m happy that we managed
to create something that is
so true to that concept.”
The designer also relied
on simplicity – which is at the
root of complexity, he says –
for this project.
“We succeed when you
can’t see what we’ve done,”
says Lee. “We may unearth
the story but we let it tell
itself. True meaning lies
in the invisible.”
