WELCOME TO CARRÉ D'ART Set, jewel-like, amidst the surrounding community of homes, Carré d'Art (Square of Art) boasts 20,000 sq ft. of magnificent living space. Carré d'Art is strongly influenced by an iconic building of the same name, located in Nîmes, France, where the lead designer has a family home. Each reflecting each, both are the epitome of modern design. But this one can be yours.
CARRÉ D'ART Carré d'Art boasts 5+2 Bedrooms, including a 2,100sq.ft. Master Bedroom Suite, eight Bathrooms, two Dining and Living areas, a Cinema, Gymnasium, Billiards room and a signature 2,500sq.ft. roof-top Entertainment Deck replete with a 67ft. infinity pool. Additional deck accoutrements include an integrated Bar, the ease of an Elevator and valley views that go on forever. As do your options… Whatever your special interest, hobby or leisure activity, Carré d'Art provides ample space to pursue it. Create your own 1,200sq.ft. golf driving range and putting green; a ten-pin bowling alley; a separate, fully-equipped apartment for invited guests; a home office to tend to business, privately and conveniently; or simply an enjoyable area for your kids to play a game of football or practice their soccer moves – what’s your pleasure? Carré d'Art …when you’re here, you’re home; when you’re home, you’re with family. Carré d'Art is both a vibrant family home and a versatile way of life.
THE DRAMA OF DESIGN
MAKING A GRAND ENTRANCE Similar to the original Carré d'Art, in Nîmes, the exterior of the home is clean and modern. Simplicity defined. But upon entering, when the weighted front door swings open, an unexpected spectacle takes your breath away. For here is Carré d'Art’s dramatic centrepiece, a soaring, spiral staircase, disappearing, perhaps, into the sky. Accented by a cascade of optical filaments of light, the effect is, at once, subtle and spectacular, a hint of what’s to come. Glancing past the staircase reveals vast expanses of open space, artfully wrapped by floor-to-ceiling windows, a highly-styled dining area, resting afloat a koi fishpond and glimpses of the sumptuous promise beyond. And Carré d'Art delivers. Room-to-room, floor-to-floor, from their heart to yours, this is not an ordinary home – this is an extraordinary invitation to a lifetime of exceptional living.
INTIMATE DESIGN, INSTANT IMPACT The contemporary European ambiance of Carré d'Art, blending effortless sophistication and easy warmth, stems from its French and British design and architecture team. With nearly half an acre of interior space, an open layout makes it a remarkably intimate home. An open layout means there’s a space for everything and everything has a place...it’s yours to fill. The cool, airy feeling of Carré d'Art emanates from its striking architecture, modern throughout. Dominated by magnificently high ceilings, extensive use of glass and carefully-placed windows that create a harmony of light and shade, the house radiates smart chic and elegant style. Yet the family bedrooms and living areas are comfortable, warm and inviting. They are closely connected, nestled into the personal moments of family life. Here is where memories are made and shared.
THE HEART OF THE HOME The heart of every home is its kitchen, and Carré d'Art is no exception. Spacious and uncluttered, family and friends are invited to partake in the festivities; join in the preparation or simply chat with the “Chef.” With top-rated Miele appliances, including a built-in coffee machine and sleek induction hob, soft-closing German mechanisms and carefully crafted accents and accessories, here you will cook to your heart’s content. For the seasoned gourmet or the modest beginner, from grand-scale galas to intimate dinners for two, Carré d'Art’s Kitchen makes even the most casual occasion a memorable experience.
INTIMATE REFLECTIONS – THE MASTER BEDROOM SUITE Encompassing 2,100sq.ft., the Carré d'Art Master Bedroom Suite is over onethird larger than the average detached-house in London. With tranquil views, its own balcony garden, a serene study area and an air of quiet solitude, here is your private retreat. Adjoining the Bedroom, step into the Master Bathroom and, at the turn of a switch, you can frost the window, for privacy, or leave it clear when you prefer. This custom, British-made glass window is ingenious and one of the largest produced for a residential home. Offering rambling views of Kuala Lumpur and bathed in natural sunlight, this Carré d'Art Master Bath features a refreshing spa, replete with concealed TV, hidden away as a mirror when not in use. At last, unhurried, uncomplicated moments. Relax, renew…breathe.
THE DELIGHT IS IN THE DETAILS While every Masterpiece is often viewed and judged in its totality, the discerning eye knows that true quality lives in the details. The Carré d'Art residents are more than discerning; they are smart and perceptive. They understand nuance and appreciate fine-detailing. That is why our homes are made from the finest materials and finishes from the world’s leading suppliers, then fitted by highly-skilled craftsmen. From Germany, Villeroy & Boch and Dorn Bracht bathroom appointments, Miele kitchen appliances, Italian SMEG refrigerators, sound speakers from Denmark’s Bang & Olufsen, both American and Merbau teak flooring, hand-selected European marble, and other world-class companies complete our list of resources. Every effort is extended, every attention is paid to excellence and expertise.
THE ART OF TECHNOLOGY
STATE-OF-THE-ART IS A WAY OF LIFE In Carré d'Art technology is never employed for technology’s sake. Only for yours. Your comfort, your convenience, your pleasure. Powered by an array of servers, every amenity can be controlled by the touch of your phone or tablet. Utilising Crestron technology, designed in the USA and employed in the personal homes of President Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Datuk Tony Fernandes and an endless list of world leaders and celebrities, you can enjoy the future, right now, right here, today. Imagine coming home and opening your front gate with your iPhone. The air-conditioners are automatically cooling before you walk through the front door. The blinds are set to your personal selection of light or shade and your favourite music is streaming. Each room knows and reflects your own preferences for temperature, lighting, music, and TV and reacts to the touch of a button or your smart phone. As an added attraction for ardent videophiles, Carré d'Art features one of the most advanced video distribution systems in the world - a matrix switcher allowing you to stream up to eight video sources to your TVs. This is the only one of its kind in Malaysia. For more practical considerations, you may control your CCTV from your phone, engage the swimming pool pump from your office or set off the panic alarm from your phone; you might also disarm your home alarm for a guest or keep curtains and blinds closed when not at home, the possibilities are limitless, the choices are yours.
A SMALL ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT In a world of instant communication, lightning-fast transportation and a growing sense of global co-operation, living “the good life” can be good for everyone. Dedicated to keeping their ecological footprint small, Carré d'Art’s impact on the environment is minimised. Carré d'Art is one of the only homes in Malaysia using the Multi V III, a fully centralised air-conditioning system. The same system used by Marc Rutenberg's “Zero Energy America” project, in Tampa, Florida, the energy savings is approximately 45% over conventional air-conditioning units. Among other advantages, of the Multi V III, noise levels are exceedingly low while rapid cooling is high, when the system is first switched on.
COLOURING IT GREEN But for CarrĂŠ d'Art, minimising their footprint goes beyond a uniquely efficient air conditioning system; it permeates their home construction. The roof has seven layers of insulation; the exterior walls are clad with Swissma panels; the orientation of the windows are designed to reduce direct sunlight throughout the day; and the lights are all LED lights, which are 85% more efficient and emit 80% less heat than conventional halogen lights.
THE ESSENCE OF ENTERTAINMENT
FROM HERE TO ETERNITY CarrÊ d'Art’s crowning glory is the 2,500sq.ft. rooftop Entertainment Deck. Submerge into the oasis of your 67ft. Infinity Pool, one of the few such residence pools in Asia, and ease the stress of the day. Or simply bask in its stillness and listen to the silence. Offering views through 15ft. floor-to-ceiling windows and shaded by the canopy of a curved wood ceiling, dine al fresco by the pool; host parties or intimate gatherings in the plein air setting; catch the tranquil, cool breeze and savour the superb views of Kuala Lumpur. With an adjacent bar for refreshments and easy elevator access, only seeing is truly believing and believing will, surely, tempt you to stay.
LET’S GO TO THE MOVIES At CarrÊ d'Art, watching movies takes on a whole new meaning. With your own 650sq.ft. Cinema Room, admission is free and popcorn is always on the House! The fabulously-sized 118 inch Image Cadre German screen, top-of-the-line Vivitek projector, incredible concealed architectural SpeakerCraft speakers from the US and Logic 7 Harmon Kardon receiver are unsurpassed in quality, unequalled in envy. Designed by a Singaporean company that has created home cinemas for a prime minister, a member of the Thai Royal Family, and a CEO of a Nasdaq company, this home theatre rivals the local movie house, with state-of-the-art technology, but provides you and your guests with all the delightful comforts of home. Is there a budding Director in the house?
