Production Technology: One of the most interesting parts of the design process was the living room wall, the designer chose to create contrast with this background. She designed wooden panels in five different ways, so that when uniting them they would come together as a puzzle. These lasered cut wooden pieces show the level of craftmanship and creativity. Not only does this elevate the living room but because of its location, it can be admired by the entrance, study and dining room.
Design Challenge: The hardest part of this project was the high level of finishing that the designer wanted to achieve. From the strenuous process of selecting the desired materials to its installation. The designer chose to work with local craftsmen for all of the built in furnitures per area. She describes the design process as simple compared to the final execution and level of demand she envisioned. Its a combination of purity and boldness that can make one achieve greatness.
Research: Designing a luxurious apartment such as the one described involves a multi faceted approach that requires extensive research. The designer discovered classic elements that have stood the test of time, such as the use of white marble, which can also be integrated into contemporary design. Additionally, exploring the cultural significance of materials and design motifs can add depth and authenticity to the apartments Asian aesthetic.
Inspiration: Inspired by the clients love for the Asian culture Mira, has many attributes that make it special. Mira, in Sanskrit means hundred plus rainbows, the ideal name for this project, as it embraces ethnicity converging with contemporary design. The importance of the color black against light materials and soft textures is noted throughout the whole design. The main objective for this design was met by patterns, materials and textures that make the project come alive with cultural significance.
Project Duration: Located in one of the most prestigious residential areas of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, Miras interior design planning took less than a year and exactly five months to execute. The involvement was from floor selection to the minimalist detail. The completion of the project was January of this year 2025.
Operation Flow: The journey to bring this luxurious apartment to life was not without its challenges says the designer. The high level of finishing demanded meticulous attention to detail, from the selection of materials to their precise installation. The design process, while straightforward, required a keen eye for harmony and balance to achieve the desired level of sophistication. In line with modern sustainability practices, the apartment features environmentally conscious elements.
