A Wealth of Indoor Luxury

IN THE EXPERT HANDS OF SACHI INTERIOR DESIGN, A HOUSE IN THE MINES BECOMES A LUXURIOUS GETAWAY THAT STILL HAS THE WELCOMING ATMOSPHERE OF HOME.

A self-described “lifestyle taste-maker company”, Sachi Interior Design Sdn Bhd was founded by Tennyson Chia in the second half of 2012 and later welcomed the addition of Jessica Cheah who is responsible for the company’s branding and operations. This partnership brought about the firm’s ability to provide a comprehensive start-to-finish brand and interior design service that has made loyal and satisfied clients out of well-known corporate entities such as Mercedes Benz Malaysia, S P Setia Bhd Group and Hap Seng Consolidated Berhad.

The company considers it crucial to propose new and fresh ideas every time no matter the nature of the project and even goes the extra mile for their commercial clients by researching the market. This allows them to develop designs and branding strategies that not only match these businesses and properties but also successfully connect them with their customers. As a result, every Sachi design is timeless, meets international standards and fulfils the wants and needs of the client.

That is exactly what was delivered when the firm was entrusted with handling the interior design of a residence surrounded by the stunning green landscape of The Mines. The 15,000 square foot home easily captures one’s attention even from the outside with its intriguing interplay of the geometry of the space and its materials as well as the way it casts light on its surroundings.

However, it is when one has stepped inside the abode that the Sachi team’s creative brilliance and skill can be seen and fully appreciated. The living room is generously spacious and sports a soaring ceiling that gives residents and guests alike the impression that they have walked into the great hall of some historical castle or manor. Instead of standard flat surfaces, the walls boast an eye-catching honeycomb texture which gradually disappears behind wooden trusses that partially cover the walls in an aesthetically pleasing irregular pattern and stretch across the ceiling.

The home’s large windows enable sunlight to easily pour inside and gently reflect off the space’s creamy marble floor and walls. This soothing effect is accentuated by the addition of a wooden coffee table and the use of soft fabrics, resulting in the creation of an oasis of calm within the house itself where the stresses of life just fade away into oblivion.

That is not to say that the living room is the only part of the house where its residents can relax and guests can be entertained. Glazed folding doors connect the dining room to a smaller sitting area furnished with comfy oversized sofas that give it a more intimate setting and make it the ideal place for after-dinner conversations.

It is hard not to see this house as a residence that has the best of both worlds what with it having the much-loved comforts of home as well as the trappings of a luxurious resort villa. This impression is only highlighted by its less conspicuous but no less important interior design elements. Two excellent examples are the marble double vanity that overlooks the lush greenery surrounding the abode and the walkthrough closet which is dressed up with gold-framed furniture and sports an open boutique-style wardrobe.

Other small touches which the Sachi team added throughout the property that further add to its appeal include the rugged raw materials paired with sleek finishes to create a visual symphony. At selected points in the house, rough red bricks are juxtaposed against smooth cool marble while wood aged to achieve a rustic finish is matched with polished wood. The end result of this effort to maximise the potential and character of every material is a genuine kind of beauty that should be appreciated in all its subtle glory.
