The design studio was shortlisted and selected through a design competition to create a modern chalet inspired by Swiss Alpines, mixing colonial Macanese heritage by the sea in Macao. The design brief requested the concept of creating a cozy house that sits in a vast space with tall ceilings, yet the space should feel serene and intimate without sacrificing the grandeur of the interior architecture. Collectively, the social club house also wants the overall look and feel to be understated and timeless, without being ostentatious, stereotypical, and cliches.
