This project is composed of 4 areas as follow. First, to create a sense of wonder from the beginning of the journey, the reception area welcomes visitor with high ceiling hall covered on 3 sides with intricate pattern made of interwoven stainless steel and leather inspired by display of sunlight through tunnel of trees. At the end of the glistering tunnel is the tree framed with illuminated onyx stone representing the main concept of the project. The curved build-in seat is made of black forest marble inspired by beautiful stone slab one might use as a seat while exploring the nature. In contrast with the overwhelming visual effects of the reception lounge, the second area is the causal lounge which is decorated in more minimalistic style to create a space for relaxation and a feeling of being at home.  

The wall of the feature staircase is cladded in overlapping layers of black forest marble and stone textured wallpaper inspired by rock formation of a waterfall. Walking further inside, the third area is an open meeting area that surprise visitors with trees and sunlight.
