Project Overview
MAHÁ Beijing is MAHÁ's first project in China. This project is a show flat, with the interior design approached by Ezhen Design under the guidance of Adrian Zecha and MAHÁ's concepts. Various local traditional elements and details that reflect MAHÁ’s philosophy of life are incorporated into the design, thereby creating a simple yet luxurious living space full of diversified scenes, where occupants can feel relaxed and calm and more importantly, enjoy themselves.
As for exquisite decoration of MAHÁ new products, generally, every detail has reached the world’s highest standard d, including 11 techniques and craftwork, 44 major items and nearly 100 fine details including water treatment, air, heating and cooling, wood splicing, intelligence and so on most of which are firstly appeared in China.
Under the guidance of Mr. AZ, MAHÁ is the first project in the world that introduces functional light design of the top luxury hotel to luxurious mansion's living space. In order to achieve such a complicated and thoughtful design, the light wires in each suite can circle the community twice, which is unprecedented in China and even around the world.

Project Brief
The living room of the 450 sqm space reflects a quiet and peaceful texture, and this original and low-key style is extremely rare in Beijing's luxurious mansions since it has meticulous requirements for decorative materials ofspace, lighting control system and color processing.
The designers selected the world-famous French white oak with soft tone which makes people feel relaxed. The oak is stable in character and has good plasticity, which is used to build barrels available for the world's most expensive wines.
The top of the room adopts a minimalist design, matching MAHÁ's quiet and restrained temperament, but in fact the process is extremely complicated. In order to make the oak show the smoothest and most perfect curve, it took 5 workers to spend 280 hours grinding and splicing. The curved ceiling is like the sky, and the dots of light are like stars in the night sky. The parallel lines combine the natural light outside the window with the reflection of the interior lights into the ingenious Zen, enabling people to return to the most authentic and comfortable life.
The indoor light in the family room is extremely soft. Nowadays, wealthy people are pursuing the sense of comfort as they live in a five-star hotel, which largely depends on the illumination source. It is the ingenious processing of light that more than 10 kinds of living scenes are created by designers in MAHÁ's new products.
Project Need
- Fresh air purification system: It not only cleans pm2.5 as usual, but also adds the function of sterilization and formaldehyde scavenging, which comprehensively purifies the whole indoor air. The function of air humidification is also added.
- Illumination source system: The lighting design of MAHÁ new products requires more than one hundred circuits. On the construction site, all the lines are arranged in an orderly manner. The operation site is supervised by the foreign light designer. Every two lights need to design a separate dimmers to achieve more than 10 kinds of living modes.
- Kitchen appliance system: the selected V-ZUG has a 130-year brand history and is known as Hermès in the kitchen industry. It is also the partner of Michelin Chef, Global Armani Hotels and Nicholas Tse's 'Feng Restaurant'.
Design Challenge
Design is prevailing nowadays. The greatest challenge of this project is how to combine hotel services with upscale residence perfectly by incorporating MAHÁ’s concept, so as to lead the design trend in the next decade. The design not only interprets MAHÁ style visually, but also includes multiple high-end people-oriented details and services, such as customized walk-in closet, hidden private safe and housekeepers providing cleaning services for luxuries and clothing. Moreover, the show flat introduces a patented professional lighting system of MAHÁ hotels into the interior, which can adjust lighting mode according to time and weather automatically, thereby enriching living experiences with hundreds of scenes.
Sustainability
Wooden materials are used extensively in decorating MAHÁ’s new apartments, , which washealthier, more environmentally friendly and betterback to nature. The whole house has a natural wood decoration on the ceiling, wall and floor, generating a strong sense of security and belonging. (Note: the first generation of mansions used to be filled with large areas of stone, which looks extravagant from the outside, but radioactive elements in the natural stone are very harmful to the health of the family there who live for the long time, and it is not environmentally friendly.)
