the entrance to the showroom mansion looks magnificent, big chandeliers, shining stainless steel looks and feels..... that's what they called it luxurious!
they went for the launch of the grand thomson - a 99-yr luxurious condo by cheongkong property, a group under hongkong tycoon, likashing.
these looks and feels come with a dizzy price - average $1450/sq ft. that's the new benchmark set for the thomson area. it used to be below $1000 for transactions done not so long ago.
the agent showed them a 2 bedder, 3 bedder and 4 bedder, area ranging from 900+ to 1400+ sqr ft. showrooms. all bedrooms reflected one theme, luxury through blinking decorations.... crudely done. at first, someone may be awed by the shines, but when you settle down with the ambiance and look at them with a peaceful mind, the things around are just to jarring - too loud to convey any sense of tranquility.
more over, most of the deco's would not come with the units, especially, walls were knocked down to give a feeling of spaciousness, furniture that's not supposed to be there was put in specially to enhance the look of the room.....
in all - hongkie luxury is just plain exaggeration of one's vulgarity.
