Proverb has it: there is no place like home. With this in mind, designer Clifton Leung took the creative reins in transforming The Lake Dragon rooftop duplex in Guangzhou China for a fashion guru who is always on the go. To create a sophisticated and elegant home which also showcases the busy homeowner’s extraordinary taste, Leung ingeniously matched traditional Chinese Siheyuan concepts with European luxury premium furniture.
The 15,000-square-foot duplex, with its rooftop and basement, has ample space to spare. Grand is the perfect word to describe the double-height living area. Leung substituted a section of the hallway wall with clear glass to help spread natural light throughout the living space, keeping the family close to nature’s heart by permitting an uninterrupted view of the garden. The designer also built a network of wooden walkways in the garden to give members of the family easy access to different areas within the property, creating an intrinsic link between the various rooms.
