From the ancient patrician homes of Rome to Palladian villas and the English manors of the 19th century, the mansion has always been connected to the idea of formal receptions, as magnificently described in the books of Jane Austen.
Boutique hotel Macalister Mansion on the island of Penang (Malaysia), designed by Colin Seah of Ministry of Design, evokes just those splendors, re-elaborating them in a contemporary light.
A residence project that makes nostalgia the springboard with which to project the architectural heritage of a British colonial mansion of the early 20th century into the future. Its 8 restyled rooms blend art, avant-garde interior design and an extreme attention to detail.
