Situated on a high floor of Beijing’s tallest residential building, the 200-square-meter apartment was conceived as a business entertainment suite, designed around a series of social spaces housed in 18 intersecting domes. The entertainment spaces are meant to be experienced in a specific sequence—wine cellar, living room, bar, dining room, study, bedroom, and bath—with each connected to the next by sculptural arched openings. The design showcases a 1,000-bottle wine collection and capitalizes on magnificent views of Beijing.
A variety of luxurious finishes—24-karat brushed gold, glass and metal mosaics, ostrich skin, marble, and velvet upholstery—contribute to the individuality and sumptuousness of each space. Ample natural daylight accentuates the shapes of the domes. Themes of a celestial nature abound, including fiber-optic star lights in the living room, complex refractions of the bar, a lunar projection in the dining room, and universe mosaic in the guest powder room.
