Flame Tree - JGE

The overall design language is grounded in a restrained palette of natural stone, warm timber and soft neutral tones, allowing form, proportion and light to take precedence. The main living spaces are open yet carefully zoned, using architectural gestures such as framed ceiling recesses, integrated shelving systems and subtle changes in material to define function without interrupting flow. Herringbone timber flooring runs throughout, reinforcing continuity and craftsmanship across the villa.

The central living and dining areas are conceived as social anchors within the home. Bespoke open shelving structures act as spatial dividers, combining timber, metal and stone to create visual permeability while accommodating curated objects and planting. Feature media walls are composed using layered stone, timber panelling and concealed lighting, creating strong focal points that remain calm and architectural rather than decorative.

The kitchen and bar areas are designed with a strong emphasis on material contrast and precision detailing. Stone clad islands, full height marble splashbacks and integrated timber cabinetry are paired with sculptural pendant lighting to elevate everyday use into a refined experience. The bar space is treated as a destination within the home, combining backlit stone, bespoke joinery and soft ambient lighting to support both entertaining and intimate gatherings.

A defining feature of the villa is the integration of indoor greenery. A central planted courtyard and internal garden moments introduce nature into the heart of the home, softening architectural lines and creating visual pause points. Bespoke stone planters with concealed lighting highlight natural textures and reinforce a sense of calm and balance throughout the circulation spaces.

Private areas are designed as individual retreats while remaining aligned with the overall design language. Bedrooms are calm and understated, featuring bespoke headboards, integrated media walls and warm timber finishes. Lighting is layered and indirect, enhancing comfort and relaxation. Bathrooms adopt a spa like quality, using stone surfaces, concealed storage and warm accent lighting to create serene, tactile environments.

The gym and wellness spaces introduce a more robust material expression, combining darker flooring, timber slatted ceilings and integrated lighting to create a focused yet refined atmosphere. Equipment is carefully arranged to maintain visual order and spatial clarity, ensuring the space feels considered rather than purely functional.

Execution quality is central to the project. Bespoke joinery, precision detailing and seamless coordination of services ensure that every element is integrated cleanly and intentionally. Shoa’s approach ensures that design intent is carried through rigorously from concept to completion.
