House Tour: This luxe Vietnam penthouse is a WFH dream

The office space, which was christened the Office Salon by Thái Công, is the largest and brightest room in the home, with panoramic views of the Saigon River and Botanic Garden in the centre of the city.

Velvety-soft furnishings, touches of gold and strategically-placed lighting create an aura of luxury in the Office Salon. set off beautifully by the large artwork in the middle.

Thái Công left no detail unattended. Since the penthouse receives plenty of bright sunlight and can get very warm, a suitable window treatment was needed. He sourced a fine copper textile from Italy for the curtain, which shades the sunshine in the daytime but also lends a little sparkle in the evening.

Just outside the office is the terrace, which offers gorgeous views and a respite from work.

Decorative lighting plays a vital role in the design of the apartment, with a total of 17 lamps that Thái Công carefully selected.

The most striking of all is the Baccarat black crystal chandelier by Philippe Starck, which lends an air of decadence to the space, especially when paired with the classical style of the furnishings.

Thái Công created a lounge area next to the dining space for entertaining guests. Before, this space was dominated by a white marble wall; he replaced it with a bronze-tinted mirror and dark bronze wallpaper that lend warmth to the space. The area is also accented with a bronze-and-gold-finish Charles Paris wall lamp and a sculpture by Chrystiane Charles.

As the homeowner enjoys karaoke, a cosy media room was created for this purpose — and to host movie nights, too.

For the homeowners’ frequent guests, Thái Công created a bright and airy guest bedroom, which features twin beds.

Crystalline details, neutral hues and subtle quilted patterns create a luxe atmosphere not unlike that of an upscale hotel accommodation.

The master bedroom is no less decadent, featuring the same neutral hues and details such as the Technolumen Wall Lamp which was designed by Wilfred Buquet in 1927.
