Style Lines in This Market
What Defines It
The tropical line is built on teak, rattan and bamboo, pale stone and timber battens. Ceilings run high with exposed beams to draw air through, and large sliding doors open the interior to a courtyard or garden. Bathrooms are semi-open to planting.
Furnishing stays natural in beige, brown and green, with plain linen against woven patterns. Large tropical planting acts as a living partition rather than an arrangement in pots. A ceiling fan is a climate requirement.
The urban line works with board-formed concrete that shows the formwork lines, combined with timber and slim black metal frames. Sites are narrow, so daylight is drawn in through internal light wells and planting is trained vertically, with glazing used to borrow views. The palette is grey concrete with rust or deep green accents.
