Concept
​
A space focused on bringing communal areas together is shaped through its open floor plan, to its distinctive upper private realm. The Bellagio was designed to create a contemporary perspective in which it embraces the natural views and lighting. Its structure surrounds the custom-designed staircase that utilises glass paneling, and timber treads along with a black rail to lead into the open hallway in the upper realm.
Its main design features are situated within the ensuite with a customised shaving and vanity cabinets, inspired by a geometrical design that brings contrast contemporary aesthetics of gold and black together. The walk-in robes situated in the master bedroom are shaped to bring upper indulgence through its gold fixtures, glass, and black door paneling as well as customised drawer and shelving components. The premise is centered around being family orientated to create warmth yet open scenery.
