A crystal heart for the Hanoi Penthouse

 

Italian customed furnishings blend with Vietnamese taste and tradition in this luxury Penthouse in Hanoi. A luminous crystal heart fits between the three panoramic levels of a prestigious skyscraper on West Lake.

Project: CLS Architects
Year: 2012
Site: Hanoi

A crystal heart with polished steel profiles fits into the rooms on three levels of this Vietnamese Penthouse. A luminous heart capable of trapping light and external nature to bring it inside this luxurious home. This is the fulcrum of the CLS Architects project, around which the various rooms of the house are placed. A combination of customed furnishings scrupulously made by our wood craftsmen and traditional Vietnamese construction techniques. An eclectic environment in which the western and eastern worlds find their harmony between highly distinctive design pieces and essential furnishings.

So here is an outdoor table in a terrace with bamboo cane in black lacquered wood that shows in its center a glossy red lacquered star. The same material is also used in the full-height library with rigorous geometric lines. The leather upholstery of the doors in the bedroom with treated brass inserts has a warmer impact. A constant experimentation on the finishes and related treatments that required attention and preciousness in detailing each piece of furniture.
