Layton, NavaPark is a prime, sought-after suburban community just outside of Jakarta, Indonesia. With its idyllic setting along the sinuous Cisadane River, Layton enjoys both a sense of rejuvenating serenity, and the vibe of metropolitan lifestyle from the distant cityscape of Jakarta.
A pair of residences encapsulates the spirit of this unique community. The first, “CORAL SANCTUARY”, is a journey into nature and wellbeing. The central gathering space of the two-story house is comprised of an open-plan living and dining area. Its airy and zen-inspired design radiates a sense of minimalism. The living room is adorned with beige marble walls, which add an opulent touch to the space. Pumpkin-coloured furniture pieces have been thoughtfully chosen to add depth and interest to the area, resulting in a harmonious blend that compliments the surrounding atmosphere. The living area boasts an exquisite selection of decorative items, ranging from vases, sculptures to candles and plants. This diverse collection infuses the space with a captivating sophistication and a distinct personality, making it a truly unique home.
Drawing inspiration from the breathtaking natural landscape, and a nod to local materials and craft, a delicate, full-height timber decorative screen defines the double-volume living space.
A graceful interplay of light and shadow in the afternoon light reminds our connection with nature.
A soothing combination of light oak and grooved limestone welcomes guests to a world of restorative wellness. The bedrooms, highlighted with inviting pumpkin hues, exude a serene ambience, complemented by warm timbers, leather upholstery and bespoke pieces. A true haven of contemporary living.
The wellness zone is thoughtfully crafted to create a holistic experience, transporting residents into a realm of meditative escape. The use of wood panelling that graces both walls and ceilings imbue the cocoon with a sense of warmth and tranquillity. Furniture pieces including sofas and coffee tables are designed with a soft, rounded profile, infusing the space with an air of welcome and restfulness.
Measuring over 5,500 sq.ft., the second residence, “EMERALD HORIZON”, is a tribute to the glamour and sophistication of Jakarta’s dynamic skyline.
Employing a rich palette of smoked oak, bronze, and a range of green hues with heavier materiality and polished surfaces. In the living and dining space, large windows take in the private garden and pool to maximise natural light during the day. The use of a variety of textures and materials, characterised by clean lines and reflective elements, adds to the overall aesthetic.
The interiors of “EMERALD HORIZON” balance collective and private moments. The richly-veined emerald marble wall adds a focal point to the foyer that speaks of timeless elegance. Decorative screens, here in a metallic, geometric composition that emphasises verticality, adorn the rising stair, the living and dining areas, giving a touch of refined luxury to the interior.
Geometric shapes and angular lines are woven throughout the space, accented by marble, lacquer and metal to create a symphony of refinement. As one moves up to the upper floor, the sophisticated palette continues to impress. In the spa room, a stunning candle feature wall complements the luxurious marble and metal ceiling, creating a privileged destination for pure comfort and relaxation.
