Ippolito Fleitz Group and CEG present their new project in Shanghai: Shades of Grey and Chromatic Spaces. Two amazing show apartments

Recent years have seen the emergence of an exceptional project in Putuo, one of Shanghai's ten inner-city boroughs. “CEG Schwarzwald” is an innovative, forward-thinking and sustainable residential project, offering high-quality living in Shanghai. With this unique venture, the developers of China Eagle Group (CEG) provide an answer to urban society's increasing demands on a healthy, calm and relaxing lifestyle, and send a positive message for a new consciousness in China. Surrounded by 20.000 trees, multiple high-rise buildings with premium apartments offer the unique synthesis of living a modern urban life in a quality environment.

The firm has developed interior designs and furnishing concepts for two apartments in house 11, demonstrating the wide range of individual life schemes and design worlds to potential buyers. Today we present two of their most outstanding projects, in cooperation with the interior design studio Ippolito Fleitz Group :

Show apartment ‘Shades of Grey’

True to its name, the central theme of the “Shades of Grey” show apartment focuses on a full range of grey nuances. With its elegant and meditative calm, the apartment would perfectly suit a globetrotter's desires after a long and tiring trip. Layers and interactions of premium materials, fascinating textures and high-contrast surfaces turn this 250-square-metre apartment into a metropolitan sanctuary with a breath-taking view of Shanghai's skyline.

Upon entering the apartment, a piece of art in green tones instantly attracts the visitor's attention. A spacious living-dining area with an integrated floor-to-ceiling kitchen extends across the entire apartment width. From the balcony on the northside, through the interior and all the way to the horizon on the opposing side, nothing in the apartment blocks the clear view.

A painted aluminium slat ceiling both zones the living-dining area and creates a cosy atmosphere through indirect lighting. Filigree and nearly invisible, a glass shelve separates the dining table from a spacious couch arrangement and offers space for memories. Herringbone-patterned parquet flooring in dark grey literally lays the foundation for the “Shades of Grey” theme, whereas contrasting hues of green and blue create highlights and support the apartment's modern, elegant and calm atmosphere. Thanks to a variation of textured plaster and paint surfaces, the 20-metre wall opposed to the entrance visually comes alive.

The contrasting, yet matching mix of materials creates an atmosphere of both calm intimacy and excitement in the living area. Here, layered carpets meet fabrics with exciting haptic features and smooth marble and mirror-glass surfaces, while earth and gold-toned accessories provide an extra touch of luxury. Merely separated from the living area by ceiling-high glass, there is a small, half-open workspace with a comfortable sofa corner.

Grained Chinese marble not only graces the detached workspace and kitchen worktops, but also a segment in the living area where a television is embedded into the wall. In the bathrooms and bedrooms it serves as the primary wall covering.

Warm shades of grey, natural wooden surfaces, indirect lighting and luxuriant fabrics tastefully contrast with the bedrooms’ smooth surfaces and create a relaxed ambience. Thanks to a sophisticated combination of vivid marble grains, unpretentious white sanitary items and accessories in black and gold, the bathrooms unfold in an aura of classic and timeless taste.

With “Shades of Grey” the firm offers a beautiful and diverse world of grey nuances. The tasteful application of layers, transparencies and interactions never ceases to generate excitement and to offer new perspectives.

Chromatic Spaces

Using vibrant colour schemes and clear geometries, we’ve developed ‘Chromatic Spaces’, a 250 square metre apartment characterized by an energetic and stimulant atmosphere. The applied range of colours creates spaces which reflect the joy of living and a sense of relaxed generosity. Upon entering the apartment, vertical slats, reminiscent of traditional Chinese folding-screens, filter the view of the dining area and skyline background. Instantly, the loft-like atmosphere and breath-taking views capture the visitor's imagination with a well-balanced spirit of vibrant energy and calm naturalness.

As the apartment's centre of communication, the kitchen area with its transparent glazing allows for intense cooking free of unpleasant odours. In addition, the open structure and adjacent bar section facilitate interaction between the cook and other family members or guests. Each of the apartment's public areas is arranged around the kitchen, hence providing direct visual contact. A high-pile carpet and a conical red lamp mark the transition to the neighbouring dining area.

Throughout the room, pillars and embracing shelves and stowage form sculptural volumes. Interspaces arising between the pillars and façade create a valuable zone of private retreat. Soft carpets, classic premium furniture and eye-catching built-ins provide additional zoning, while exciting surfaces and versatile high-quality materials intensify the effect of the strong colours. Curved elements, found throughout the entire apartment, lend a sense of comfort and cosiness to the loft-like layout. The harmonic interplay of colours and contours conveys a perfect balance of generosity and privacy.

Outside the visual field of the entrance, the view of the metropolis dominates the private living area. A textured deep blue wall provides high contrast and frames the spacious lounge in striking fashion. Thanks to soft furniture, fluffy carpets, delicate curtains and reflective glass tables, they have created a homely haven within the open floor plan. A ceiling recess in yellow nuances zones the space and enhances the effect of a fluent transition to the exterior.

Carefully matched colour schemes and exciting contrasts recur in the private bedrooms, where curved walls, refined wallpapers in shiny bottle-green and yellow tones and a masterful mix of materials create a premium and cosy atmosphere. Arranged along the façade, the bathrooms offer a fantastic view of the city, thanks to floor-to-ceiling glazing. Metallic mosaic tiles reflect the colours of the skyline and make it come alive in the interior. The bedroom's spacious balconies guarantee a smooth transition to the exterior and provide residents with a private view of Shanghai.
