This Beautiful Home Pays Tribute To The Oeuvre Of Its Architect, While Creating A Stylish Sanctuary In The City
Designed by the late Baghdad-born, Londonbased architect Zaha Hadid, the D’Leedon residential complex is indeed a sight to behold. Its seven statuesque towers feature undulating curves that narrow towards its base, making the property a striking landmark in the District 10 neighbourhood. “It’s truly a vivid expression of famed architect Zaha Hadid’s futuristic aesthetic,” says Angela Lim, director of interior design firm Sumisura, as she recalls her first impression of the property. “The tone-ontone finishes look clean and stark, next to the building’s yacht-like shape and curved walls.”
The local practice was tasked to design the interiors of one of the villas within the complex, to turn the architecturally stunning semi-detached house into a home. With its spacious balconies and the striking exterior, there was little about the threestorey property that the designer and the homeowners wanted to change; there were however, aesthetic concerns when it came to the interior scheme. The same pure white finishes on the exterior, when applied indoors had made the house appear cold and clinical—so one of the first design objectives was to dress its interiors with colour and tactile textures.
