tai an luLu apartment was completed last night after frantic last-minute work by the contractor, Justin time for the clients’ christmas party. the result is proper and restrained as requested — the couple had lived for a spell in singapore, the land of the bland (and formerly playground of paul theroux’s saint jack). but we played a little with the ceiling, cutting slits to the reveal side-mounted halogen lights. of course what we hid behind the mirror nobody would get to know.
