The first living space is designed for gazing at the incredible light and motion display projected onto ‘The Pulse’ through the shaft of glass passing through all 3 floors of the villa. The scale of the sculpture is matched by waterfall-like peacock blue drapes to one side, and the seamless floating staircase to the other.
The stylish, monochrome main living room looks out onto the pool and gardens, and features chain-link modern artwork and a white cube that opens up to reveal a complete cocktail bar. Bright textiles and colour-changing LED lights add a pop of colour. Glass walls disappear into the floor for indoor-outdoor living, doubling the size of the space.
The TV lounge is a cosy family cocoon that contrasts perfectly with wide-open spaces elsewhere in the villa. A curved wooden TV screen extends over the oversized sofa. Drop the blinds for a home-cinema experience with incredible surround sound. On the other side of the screen, a second “snug” space offers a spot for quiet contemplation while gazing out at the pool.
The self-contained apartment also has a complete living room with open-plan kitchen, TV system and private patio with dining table and chairs.
