Australian connection … Platinum Services Club Lounge Macau

Platinum Services Club Lounge, T Galleria DFS, Shoppes Four Seasons, Macau was designed for the DFS Group, which is the world’s largest luxury travel retailer. Now setting the bar even higher with the Platinum Services Club Lounge in Macau. The aim was to offer their top clientele “an oasis that was elegant, luxurious, warm and inviting – a home away from home”. (I’d love to see their homes)

Designed by pmdl Architecture and Design The concept design had to compliment the existing Four Seasons DFS store, while at the same time expressing it’s own sophisticated international style and sense of place referencing the culture and history of Macau.

The lounge itself is situated within a casino, there is no daylight access and there was a requirement that the lounge have a feel of being a “home away from home” but without inclusion of residential features. The constraints created opportunities to explore a wide range of complimentary textures and finishes, many locally crafted specifically for the project, in creating this classically elegant space.

Stone and marble grounds the space and gives a sense of luxury. A variety of colour pallets articulate the different spaces, such as the dark “rainforest-brown” tiles with gold highlights.

Timber, particularly for the architraves and furniture was selected for its dark richness and referenced typical historical features of Portuguese antique furniture, black stained walnut architraves contrast with warm tones.

Many metallic finishes, together with warm bronzes and highly reflective chrome surfaces, the matt and mirror finishes placed side by side were used to contrast and highlight, providing visual accents and a sense of rhythm.

Teamed with hand-blocked wallpapers, sumptuous fabrics and artworks intentionally highlight and serve to reference the history and culture of Macau, which was an important part of the brief. Oh …. its all just so glamorous!
