Jimmy Choo is one of the best-known names in fashion. The Malaysian-born shoe designer opened the doors to his 1,754 sq ft bespoke penthouse, located in an exclusive Kuala Lumpur hotel serviced apartment complex, to Tatler Homes earlier this year. 

The overall inspiration for this project was understanding Choo’s story, says Ooi Boon Seong, founder of design firm OD&A, which carried out a renovation of the property. “We did a deep dive into his life’s journey to create a home that celebrates his legacy and influence.”

Materials were thoughtfully chosen to further the designer’s vision. “We used a lot of white oak timber panelling with classic motifs throughout the home,” explains Ooi. “These panels were sandblasted to emphasise the beautiful grain textures and finished with a coat of soothing grey paint.”

Terri Tan, design director of Designworx Interior Consultant, created a bedroom that takes a cue from a Dior boutique, while Hermès scarves are also framed as artworks. Throughout the home, there was an emphasis on designing a holistic environment based on the unique requirements of each family member. 

A bespoke black-and-cream rug pulls together the monochromatic look of the living room. Blue tones add to the calming ambience: these include turquoise upholstery fabrics from Hermès, which are specially ordered for the accent cushions.

Inspired by the quiet luxury of hotel design, this penthouse celebrates its urban location with elegant furnishings and a calming palette.

Upon stepping out of the home’s private lift lobby, the eye is immediately drawn to the light-filled high-ceilinged living and dining space.
