I'm Hanna, we received this house from our parents as our matrimonial home
It is located at Lujiazui, Pudong New District
It's a penthouse
The net area is about 800 square meters
This is an absolutely beautiful apartment with a beautiful location in Shanghai
You have an amazing view to the Huangpu River
We went with Hanna to a Feng shui master here
And you have like a natural flow here
In terms of water, wind, etc which is absolutely fantastic
The previous home style was a disaster
So we really started from scratch and we destroyed everything
There are three floors
On the first floor we have all the servant functions
The desk, the studio room, the family room, the yoga and all of the facilities
Second floor is also public space
On the right side you have the living room
On the left side you have the dining room, swimming pool
On the third floor are the bedrooms
We enter from the second floor
I decided to create a staircase as the main art piece of the project
Especially when you live in a three-storey building
You take the staircase almost twenty, thirty times by day
I think it's quite nice to be in the middle of the staircase
And after you see the swimming pool
And I like the continuation, I like the flow like this
It's an indoor swimming pool on the 55th floor
It's quite a challenge
I want it to have something trendy, but sometime timeless, sometime functional
So I use this light green, and light pink mosaic
To feel more like a swimming pool
Between the living room and the reading room you have two massive Chinese doors
You can rotate it and it opens like this
Some rich people have huge villa and huge living room and it's cold
We need to give to the owner the possibility to open
You can see and having the feeling to a bigger space
My favorite part of the house is my dressing room
Thomas knows exactly what I wanted, pink and teenage-dream-like
I like the way he uses colors
There is a secret staircase leading from the bedroom to the dressing room
And the door on the second floor opens to the living room
This is my husband's idea, maybe it's his teenage dream
When you see carefully the colors
There are like soft blue grey, soft pink, soft green
I try to make it more soft and more elegant for sure
The study room, there are two types of blue
One is blue indigo
And one is like a more "calm blue"
You have to understand for French people blue is very ancient, blue was the color of the king
There is contrast in every room here
The strong colors are coming from the furniture
They come from the makeup table, from the chairs, from the wall papers
In contrast, you have the softness of the material I use for the wall, for the floor, etc.
For instance the sofa is more masculine
The armchairs are more feminine
It's just this little bit touch of poetry is important
