With “whisky and ice and everything nice” as a design prompt, this resale condo was transformed into a dark and intimate lair.

It’s not every day that a beverage forms the starting point for a home renovation, but this homeowner decided to shape his abode around his love of whisky.

Designers Averse Yau and Joey Gan from A Blue Cube Design took inspiration from this iconic drink, considering that “it should be stored in the dark to preserve the taste and colour!”

Thus the home’s dark and alluring colour palette was born, enhanced by high-end furnishings, carefully selected mood lighting and a harmonious combination of four types of natural stone. The end result is moody, intimate and polished; indeed the perfect place to share a sip of whisky with treasured guests.

Living room

The luxurious living room is the perfect spot to sit and enjoy a drink, backed by a Futar Vermont Black Quartzite island, an adjacent Verde Alpi Marble table, custom artwork and an opulent pendant light from Era by Stype.

Feature wall

Bringing together various types of marble and natural stone, the living area boasts a large feature wall clad in Metalicos Schist from Futar, as well as Monocromo Schist along the TV console ledge and matching bench.

Kitchen

Decked out like a bar, the dry kitchen is clad in Delmonico Quartzite from Futar, which evokes a deep and indulgent ambience without overpowering the room. English pendant lights from Buster + Punch round off the scene.

Toy “museum”

This custom shelving unit was fitted out with minimalist strip lighting and now houses the homeowner’s toy collection, fulfilling his childhood dream.
