Chef Esther Sham reflects on the importance of calming spaces, home comforts and striking that all-important balance
“I can find it hard to fully unplug sometimes, even at home.” To anyone familiar with Esther Sham—mother, wife, and successful restaurateur and proprietor of Maison Es—and her work, this statement is unsurprising.
But Sham also makes those all-important quiet moments a priority. “Having a few moments to myself, whether it’s spent putting together a floral arrangement or just lying on my bed, they’re some of my favourite activities,” she says. She describes that time spent unwinding in a relaxing environment, as “conscious, but quiet”.

The exclusive complex houses just 26 apartments, 14 houses and five villas away from the hustle and bustle of the city below. The low-density residential complex’s apartment buildings are just seven storeys high, and the series of villas and houses adds an air of exclusivity that’s hard to find even, across some of the city’s most prestigious addresses.
