Entry to this glorious property is granted via a timber boardwalk that stretches over a creek-like pond, leading past lush green lawns and into the home. Inside, raised ceilings come to life with bamboo ply woven inlays, Raffles-style fans and soft lighting — creating an atmosphere such as that found in a tranquil, tropical retreat.

THE CONCEPT

Explicit attention
to detail and an unparalleled
tropical aesthetic set the tone
of this gorgeous renovation.
