As with any robust relationship, the key was an ongoing dialogue. “The clients weren’t able to specifically articulate the type of design they preferred, so it was very open-ended from the beginning. We had to work closely with them to identify what they liked,” says Larry Lim, managing partner at Summerhaus D’zign. “They were concerned about balancing aesthetics with functionality and practicality.” Both parties ultimately decided on creating a luxurious interior that is also inviting and conducive for gatherings hosted by this three-generation family.
The design firm had to work within the framework of the project’s existing finishes and structure, such as the flooring and the location of air-conditioning units. “Any additions and decorations had to match the existing features that came with the house,” says Lim.
