![Lawrence Wong's Sanctuary Is An Ode To Minimalism And Tranquility](https://magarticles.magzter.com/articles/2901/740321/61386353e6d22/Lawrence-Wong.jpg)
Lawrence Wong spends his days on lavish sets and bustling mega productions—most recently, the actor can be seen in The Ferryman: Legends of Nanyang, a big-‘budget fantasy series that marks the first Southeast Asian original series from iQIYI, the Chinese streaming giant. His home, however, is worlds away from the artifice and extravagance of a movie set. Hidden behind a cool grey façade is a two-‘and-‘a-‘half-‘ storey four-‘bedroom house in the northeast that Wong has turned into an oasis of serenity—awash in shades of cream and white, and accented with the chalky, sandy hues of stones and the warm tones of wood. The space is bathed in light flooding in from both ends of the house via full-‘height glass doors at the front and a skylight at the back. The design is minimal, but the effect is warm, thanks in large part to Wong’s use of plush, curved furniture with fuzzy, nubby textures and his penchant for the raw surfaces of stone-‘clad tables and countertops.

HOROSCOPE
TAURUS (21 APR - 21 MAY) Happy birthday, Taurus! This May, your life takes the form of a mandala an intricate shape made from coloured sand that is destroyed after its creation. This doesn't mean that you'll lose everything. In fact, the whole month has the potential to be highly abundant, especially around the 19th, when Venus transits through your sign. Be brave and let go of attachments.
