The Grounds’ design is intended as a celebration of artistry and craftsmanship; the overall scheme a cohesive approach where minimalist design is contrasted by maximalist materiality.
Bold geometries are balanced with refined details and rendered in highly considered materials including stone, marble, timber and glass.

The interiors display two very distinct palettes: a glamorous, light scheme featuring soft joinery and flashes of gold, and a dark, dramatic scheme with dusky joinery and highlights of bronze.

The residences have been designed for uncluttered and elegant ease of living. Each feature thoughtfully planned and beautifully appointed design signatures, including extended kitchen with butler’s pantry, kitchen island benches with cantilevered breakfast bar, and walk-in-wardrobes with display joinery and dressing tables.
Ensuite bathrooms are generously proportioned with double vanities and a freestanding sculptural bathtub, while integrated lighting and charging drawers enhance usability and ambiance.

Blurring the lines between architecture and nature, planter boxes bring greenery to the terraces, providing a soft, living counterpoint to the stately façade. Expansive windows provide a sense of depth, capturing and reflecting views of the gardens, city, and sky.
