Three world-renowned designers flourish in unfamiliar locales
- KELLY HOPPEN IN SHENZHEN
- STEPHANIE COUTAS IN PARIS
- KATHRYN IRELAND IN NORMANDY
Architect Steven Leung and interior designer Kelly Hoppen have collaborated on One Shenzhen Bay, a new development by Shenzhen Parkland Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. The result is an expression of a new direction in urban luxury residences.
Four themed show flats corresponding to great cosmopolitan cities – Paris, Hong Kong, New York and London – reflect the development’s vision of luxury in one of Shenzhen’s most coveted addresses.
For the Paris show flat, Hoppen gathered the sophisticated details of the couture houses of Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent and Celine. For Hong Kong, she used bold contrasts as suggested by the city’s mountainous landscape and towering skyscrapers. She turned eclectic with the New York show flat, embellishing the modern space with art and collectible furniture. Classical and heritage elements distinguish the London show flat, but with the requisite quirky twists.

Stephanie Coutas in Paris
Stephanie Coutas has completed the full renovation and design of a Parisian apartment. The designer’s extensive and impressive art collection has naturally taken center stage, beginning with two large portraits that inspired the design of the project.
Coutas also employed a range of materials and luxury finishes including leather, silk, wood, velvet, marble, bronze, and semi-precious stones. Some of the designer’s bespoke pieces, including the breathtaking ‘Paris’ chandelier, executed by Baccarat based on the Coutas’ original design, are highlighted in the space.
