Classical by name, classical by nature…
This villa in Kota Damansara showcases the best of classical beauty and features some of the top high-end modern home amenities you could possibly have in your home.
In this visual tour, we’ll take you through the interiors of the villa and showcase the architectural beauty of the home, one room at a time.
The KD Villa, as we like to refer to it, is a 12,000 sqft home that unabashedly showcases artisan-like interiors of a classical architectural style combined with modern accents creating an overall “modern classical style”.
With seven bedrooms, two master bathrooms, a walk-in closet, two kitchens, a grand foyer, a home theater, and an entertainment room on top of the home’s regular spaces
It’s one of the grandest projects that we’re proud to present.
The Foyer
Located on the second floor, this foyer features many elaborate classical details that escape one’s perception at first.
The classically molded layers in the ceilings have ornamental designs that look simple but implement chiaroscuro-esque aspects that play with light and shadow, which subtly complement the layers of light in the room.
There is another key element that unifies the dimensions in this foyer; Can you try to identify it?
The answer lies in the marble inlay flooring in the center of the room.
Marble flooring itself is a popular choice when it comes to high-end flooring, and for many reasons, too. Its elegant design serves as a quality option that’s cost-effective, durable with low maintenance, and naturally deters allergens and microbes (when cleaned with care).
Blending an inlay design into your interior’s flooring creates another layer of style into your overall design scheme, serving as a divider between rooms or as an outline for object placement.
In this space, the marble inlay serves as a focal element in the space, accentuating, and adding to the layers of architectural style in the room.
Alternatively, this inlay design can be replicated with a large carpet but when opting for permanence, inlay floors are the way to go!
The Living Room
It doesn’t take much to regard the elegance of this living room.
Easily accommodating 20 or more guests, this hall was given great attention to detail, from the chandeliers, the gilded gold frames on the left wall, to the built-in aquarium at the end of the hall.
The furniture itself was chosen to compliment not only the carpet but also the design of the textured paint that was used on the walls.
It also serves as a style accent in the ceiling treatments that outline the chandeliers.
Decorating your walls with textured paint is a great way to reflect the sophistication of space in color, texture, and even lighting.
See how the walls complement the color, texture, and fabrics of the furniture without having the clutter of excess furnishings?
They all blend together in harmony to create an eye-catching and inviting atmosphere that will charm guests without fail.
The living hall also includes a more intimate space to the right of the living hall, able to host 5-7 guests, for smaller gatherings of close friends and associates.
The use of columns in this space gives an attractive element, providing balance in design standards and adding visual interest without being too overwhelming.
Additionally, its paired with tall curtains, giving the illusion of a more towering room.
This space has a softer color palette than the grand living hall but does not lack in sophistication. Darker colors of the piano and coffee table give a stark contrast to the softer cream colors of the rest of the space that conveys a balanced ambiance.
These contrasts also blend with accents of the feature wall on the far right, which has classical elements in the columns and wainscoting
Bringing focus to the modern TV display where a fireplace would traditionally be.
Altogether, these small but sound aspects give this living hall just the right amount of comfort luxury.
The Family Room
Family halls are cherished spaces for balance and good relations, especially in homes with traditional values.
To reflect that, this family hall uses age-old design principles of order and proportion to improve the room.
If you noticed in the last two photos, the family room and secondary living area both have similar feature walls for the TV area.
That is because the best way to add interest to a blank wall is by adding an accent wall or “feature” wall.
The proportion of the middle wall is extruded outward to emphasize its importance (i.e., the tv area or fireplace, etc.). It also has two accompanying wall panels on each side (symmetry) pushed behind it to compliment the middle section.
Our brains look for symmetry and find harmony in it.
Classical design is known for this concept, as it perfectly balances between simple and lavish tastes.
When executed correctly, they lend a peaceful feel to a space.
The Dining Hall
This dining room is as quintessentially pristine as a dining room can be!
Designed with elegant, timeless materials, laced with marble walls and roman ceiling molds, it will leave all your guests wondering how you ever manage to keep it looking perfect.
This stunning dining table for 14 can accommodate all the requirements for a magical dining experience, whether your dining room serves as an intimate space for gathering with close friends, a formal gathering to wine & dine your business associates, or a private place to share with close family.
Every homeowner deserves a home that is tailored to your specific needs.
The key to creating a great dining experience is to find the style that suits your hosting needs and home flawlessly.
The Dry Kitchen
As if that dining table wasn’t lavish enough, this dry kitchen really makes this room a dream come true for the hostess with the most-ess!
Echoing the dining table, the kitchen island extends the line of sight in this space and is the perfect countertop for all your dinner prep & wine-tasting needs.
Made of solid wood, it’s the highest quality, durability, aesthetic, and just like wine, it’ll get better with age.
When working with solid wood, layering spray paint will give the hardwood a much higher quality and finished look.
Spray paint is also much easier to maintain compared to laminate surfaces, as you can easily go over scratches or damages with a new coat of paint.
The counter-top adds another layer of elegance to the atmosphere; this is because it’s made of luminous, veined brown marble. Known for its aesthetic and affordability, it brings a unique quality that other counter-top materials simply can’t duplicate.
The L-shaped cabinetry provides ample storage space for dining cutleries and necessities and honors the other dark shades in the color palette by bringing a sense of order into the design.
We took extra care in lighting the kitchen area, so we incorporated the three fundamental types of lighting in interior design (ambient, task, and accent).
Large windows with blinds allowed plenty of natural light to flood the room when needed, and the spotlighting in the ceiling illuminated areas of the space where the most utility would be.
As for the accent lighting in this room, we didn’t shy away from the luxurious chandeliers, unabashedly matching the dining area!
Layered ceiling molds subtly complement the kitchen lighting, making the kitchen feel roomier.
The Wet Kitchen
When one kitchen isn’t enough, get two!
Possibilities are endless when cooking & dining in this kitchen, that’s because it was designed to be as task-efficient as it is visually pleasing.
The double-tiered kitchen island lets you and your loved ones have an easy cooking & dining experience, with double sink vanities for immediate clean up right after.
The spotlighting in this kitchen reflecting on the stone walls not only helps to brighten the room alongside big windows, but it also makes the room feel more elegant and clean.
Paired with the dramatically veined marble island counter-top, it really elevates the kitchen to the height of luxury!
There may not seem like there’s enough storage room, that’s because the cabinetry in this kitchen was designed to be hidden out of sight, as to not clutter the focus.
The built-in fridge, the L-shaped countertop, and even that gorgeous island incorporate hidden storage cabinets and drawers to keep unwanted appliances and accessories out of your way.
The Home Office
Classical aesthetic lies in the smallest details, and when accomplished right, reflects a stable status of success and timeless beauty.
This home office serves as a strong model of uniting sophisticated elements of beautiful details into a space without overwhelming the senses.
The synchronicity in the design of the bespoke built-in cabinets frames the window with a perfect cut out stone window counter on the far end of the room and a desk in the middle.
Making the desk the main focal point and authority figure of the room, it becomes the most dominant point in the space that demands your attention away from the detailing of the wainscoting and lighting above, keeping you centered in your work.
And in the likelihood you lift your head up for inspiration, we took great care in crafting the ceiling works in the space, incorporated with a classic Roman style molding that encircles the modern chandelier hanging at the center of the room.
Complimenting the desk lamp, creating gorgeous and warm lighting to ease the toll on the senses which also perfectly blends with the color palette and functionality of the room!
The Entertainment Room
After a day of hard work, you can kick it back and spend some quality time with your loved ones in the bespoke entertainment room.
Looking at this room, it’s clear that staying at home is a lot easier when your estate has everything you need and want without having to leave your quarters.
Homes are more than just properties, they are an extension of ourselves and embody how we live day-to-day.
It’s not just the necessities anymore, as now we are all experiencing that having the excess space to include leisure rooms for social activities, entertainment, family, work, and health have all become necessary for your home.
If you look at the homes of the world’s elite on YouTube, you’ll notice that all their properties include pools, gyms, cinema rooms, bars, BBQ areas, guest rooms, offices, wine cellars, saunas and sometimes even bowling alleys or a virtual golf course.
This could be for several reasons, its either a preference to isolate themselves from the public for safety and privacy reasons
Or purely for the convenience of having everything you need without ever having to leave your home.
The room features a personal pool lounge, and get this…
A bar that’s tailored to all your drinking needs!
Complete with display shelves and marble countertops, it looks like it came straight out of a bartender’s dream.
The Master Bedroom
Definitely the grandest of rooms in this villa, the master suite features a bedroom, a personal study, a customized walk-in closet and a stunning master bathroom.
This combination of spaces is guaranteed to be one of the best designs in a home fit for a king (and queen)!
The Bedroom
From the ceiling treatments and textured paint to the mirror accents and the headboard, this bedroom is the epitome of private indulgence.
The color gold has always been associated with royalty, success, fame, and prestige. A confident and passionate color that draws attention to itself.
You can use different shades of gold to express a different meaning throughout your spaces.
Brighter shades draw attention to its luxury while muted shades express warmth and intensity.
It is definitely a lavish and inspiring color that can be used in many areas in your home to make it ooze in luxury.
The Master Study
Classical design is a great option for those who favor age-old architectural principles that transcend fleeting design trends.
This is a private home office designed for the master bedroom. It’s fitted with a grand ceiling & full scale Corinthian columns that emphasize the timeless elegance and ground you to the space.
Remember: this is a private study, meant to be away from the noise so isolation and deep thought can take place.
High ceilings to expanse the thinking, and tucked in the corner to give full peripheral vision of the rest of the room giving a sense of control.
Paired with a classical painting on the left serving as a priming trigger to remind you of your victorious leaders in the past. After all, a picture says a thousand words.
The color scheme chosen for this space reflects the personal taste of the client and becomes a uniform design that fleshes out character in every inch of the room.
The Master Walk in Wardrobe
Save your storage needs, reflect your personality and increase your home value with your very own luxury closet!
There’s no better way to start your day than opening doors to an organized closet. After all, there’s no space in your home that truly reflects your personality more than your wardrobe.
Think about it: how many times have you needed some alone time to regroup from your daily activities?
If your home has an open floor plan that combines your living and dining room with your kitchen, there’s almost nowhere to grab that small opportunity for total privacy.
A luxury closet easily addresses this hindrance with ease and enjoyment.
Just take a look, with efficient storage and organization features, all your wardrobe items are displayed right before your eyes so no time needs to be wasted fussing over where certain items are hidden.
The island is also equipped with extra drawers for storing smaller accessories like jewelry, belts or ties, to peruse or admire at your leisure.
And of course, no luxury closet is complete without a vanity area, where you can ensure you’re dressed in your best to tackle your daily ventures on any day.
It’ll truly feel like a grand boutique that you’ll want to spend time in, without even leaving the comfort of your home!
The Master Bathroom
This master bathroom features a his and hers double sink vanity made of brown veined marble countertop that harmonizes with the intricate gold-profiled mirrors and classical cabinet profiling.
As if you couldn’t have enough marble in one area, this bathroom is also laid out with black veined marble floors and white marble walls all over.
Encapsulating this master bath in elegant aura, cool atmosphere and tons of illumination from the overhead spotlights being reflected off the stone.
Other Bedrooms
The Boy’s Bedroom
Boys’ bedrooms: it’s not uncommon to find the need to mix between styles when it comes to younger children’s bedrooms.
Typically you’d want to pick a style that goes along with the rest of the housing scheme (in this case modern classical)
But it’s an expensive and intricate style that may not be as appreciated by your child.
Classical luxury is sophisticated and rigid in its approach, whereas children are adaptable and require something more transitional for when they grow older.
Planning a boys’ bedroom can be tricky, you want to go for a design that is a balance between functionality and flexibility
That way the bedroom can grow together with personality over time.
A neutral color palette, like this white, grey, and black design scheme with a pop of green for visual interest gives your child a lot of room to add his own personal touch, even as he grows older.
The minimalist wardrobe panels and clean profiles reduce the number of details in the room for a modern sleek look
Making the place feel younger and open for interpretation.
The Girl’s Bedroom
The girls’ bedroom has a hint of classical elements and a simple color palette that flaunts a feminine ambiance with neutral brown tones and soft white wardrobes and paneling.
White is known to have a calming effect on the mind, so to balance it out, we featured a pop of color for the curtains, giving it the right amount of privacy from unwanted eyes when needed.
Statement lighting is another great option when amping up the luxury factor of your bedroom.
Accents of the bedside lamp and wall-mounted TV controls the flow of attention in the room, fleshing out the best views in the room.
If you truly want to make a timeless room for your younger child, a good approach is to create something more modern and relevant to their time.
Leave the permanent foundations to complement to the overall structure of the house,
Giving the majority of the bedroom to be fleshed out with personality as your kids grow older.
That way when it comes time to remodel the room, you only have to do minor touches to implement the modern classic style.
As they grow older, you can introduce more classical concepts into the room by adjusting the color palette and changing the wardrobe panels.
Some of the built-in furniture can remain the same, since modern classical typically involves having more classical elements with a touch of modern contrast.
This works just about the same for girls and boys’ rooms.
For a more older child, you can stick to the same modern classic elements throughout the rooms.
Many features should not be overlooked when decorating your bedroom.
After all, what makes your home look and feel precious are its little, but reflective details.
Older Girl’s Bedroom
This room is befitting for an older child and has many modern classic features.
To prevent overuse of color palettes and creating a mundane effect, use The Rule of Three for a more visually interesting scene.
This means that by adding 3 different elements (features) to each room, you create enough depth that the eye can perceive.
In this room it would be the “x” hatching on each side of the bed, the rectangular profiling of the bed headdress and the textured backdrop of the wall behind it.
All this ties together into a single cohesive frame that lends dimension and timeless beauty to the room.
Guest Rooms
Here’s another example of The Rule of Three being applied to a more modern classical minimal design with lesser details
In this bedroom more use of modular units is used for the wardrobe cabinets and a very classical headboard.
The beige floors, grey walls and white cabinetry give you a natural muted gradient that is so seamless you almost cant tell why the room feels so darn clean.
There’s more benefits to having sleek, clean cabinets with a minimalist touch. They hide alot of clutter and have minimal amount of line work.
This goes easy on the eyes and give a sense of “purity” when there is less to look at.
The modular units for the proportions of the cabinets align with the brains natural inclination for organization & harmony
Customized interior means having built in furniture measured to the most worth while investment for your space.
The eaves of the headdress fit the bed perfectly, the side tables, tv cabinets and mounted study table maximize every square foot of the room
The Home Theater
Finally, surely the most luxurious room in the entire home, a customized home theater for your viewing pleasure!
You can say goodbye to the hassle of going to the cinema and say hello to having front-row seats to all your favorite shows.
If you’re looking to design your own bespoke theater room for your loved ones, here are some important factors to consider to replicate the magic of a movie theater experience in the comfort of your home.
Choosing the right paints will affect your home theater heavily.
While choosing dark colors is ideal for home theaters, it’s important to take into account the type of paint you should use.
Non-reflective paint or sound reduction paint is your best choice to limit disturbances and optimize the experience.
Secondly, consider lighting control for ease of use.
Sconces, dimmers, and mirror accents are some classic choices for home theater lighting.
To ensure the best control, you can implement SMART lighting into your home theater. Not only does this allow you to remotely control all lighting fixtures, it improves energy efficiency.
Moreover, it goes without saying that a good sound system plays an essential role in creating a luxury home theater.
We’re not just talking about quality speakers, but also by the kind of flooring implemented, the placement of furniture and the speakers.
These factors affect the sound absorption of the room. Poor design arrangements can lead to sound leaking, which will cause disruption to others.
There are plenty of plans for home theaters available online for you to replicate for yourself
It’s advisable to reach out to a professional to find the best arrangement unique to your needs.
This last tip is important if you have a growing family: make your theater room kid-friendly and easy for maintenance and cleaning.
Consider stain-resistant materials that are easy to clean for furniture and carpets, that way you can avoid unnecessarily messy situations.
With these tips, you can identify and choose the best options to get the perfect home theater.
Conclusion
Modern classical styled homes are a great design selection for growing families, as its classical beauty blends with modern elements
Reflecting a timeless atmosphere in every inch of the home that is appreciated by all regardless of their age and personality.
With the right design and materials, you can achieve your dream high-end home that will cater to individual and collective needs.
