S&S Christie’s International Real Estate (S&S CIRE) has made a entrance with the unveiling of its new Luxury Concierge Center at the prestigious Hilton Saigon hotel. This prime location not only serves as a hub for high-end real estate but also features S&S’s exclusive Lamborghini dealership, further cementing its status as the epitome of modern luxury in the vibrant heart of Ho Chi Minh City.

In May 2024, Christie’s International Real Estate (CIRE) entered Vietnam's luxury market through a strategic partnership with S&S Group. This collaboration signifies a major milestone, marking S&S Group's official entry into the luxury real estate sector, encompassing both international and local properties in Vietnam. This has opened doors and opportunity for S&S Group proudly introduce a special department, The Globetrotter and the new brand, O2H2O Vietnam.

New space through Sylvain Mariat’s Visionary Design

This exciting expansion has provided S&S Group with the opportunity to collaborate once again with the man who designed the firm’s Headquarter Office in Hanoi in 2022. The interior design of this Luxury Concierge Center is the brainchild of Sylvain Mariat, a renowned designer who has more than 20 years of experience in creating decorative and industrial concepts for HNWIs, airlines, and corporate jets.

The jet space theme is the epitome of sophistication for both the HQ in Hanoi and the Luxury Concierge Center in HCMC for S&S Group. These exquisite spaces, crafted by the same visionary designer, share a singular purpose: to deliver an unparalleled, memorable experience for every visitor. A private jet, one of the most coveted luxuries, offers the unique allure of traversing the skies. These spaces are meticulously designed to embody the pinnacle of safety, comfort, focus, and high performance, ensuring seamless and controlled operations. From this foundational concept, these places become gateways to magnificent destinations and unforgettable experiences, where the sky is the limit.

While jet space undeniably serves as a primary inspiration, it is merely a facet of the grand vision. The essence of “Timeless” was imparted to Mariat. Hence, his design philosophy for this project draws inspiration from not only “jet and yacht culture” but also the Five Elements of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. In the realm of interior design, the concept of “Timeless” transcends fleeting trends, embodying a sense of enduring elegance and perpetual relevance. Mariat has masterfully embraced this notion by drawing inspiration from the ancient Five Elements concept, a philosophy that has been integral to various cultures centuries and continues to hold significance today.

His vision is to create a space that seamlessly blends tradition with modernity, offering a unique and elegant environment. This thoughtful application of the Five Elements not only honors their timeless wisdom but also ensures that the design remains relevant and inspiring across generations. The result is Luxury Concierge Center offers the interior that feels both contemporary and eternal, a true testament to the enduring power of nature’s fundamental forces.

“I want this place to be a unique, elegant place while having fun with the contrast of traditions in juxtaposition with my style, which I think is timeless, sober, and pushed towards the future,” Mariat explains. “This paradox of sobriety in ornamentation aims to balance Christie’s DNA with that of S&S, The Globetrotter, and O2H2O.”

A Tour of the Unique Office Space

The office tour reveals a meticulously designed space called ‘Five Elements Lounge’, where the five elements are subtly integrated into the decor. This approach creates a harmonious and balanced environment, whether in a corporate jet or a luxury real estate office.

The tour continues to ‘The Piano Lounge’, a versatile space capable of hosting fine dining dinners, adding a touch of sophistication to the office.

The main entrance, a stunning homage to Haussmannian architecture, epitomises the iconic elegance of modern Paris, a legacy crafted by Haussmann under Napoleon III’s vision in the mid-19th century. This exquisite creation by Mariat embodies the timeless concept, seamlessly integrating the Five Elements to blend art and culture of humanity into a harmonious and luxurious space.

Mariat and his team, including Youenne B, have skillfully navigated the challenges posed by the office’s unique shape, safety elements, and structural posts. The result is an architectural masterpiece that Mariat considers one of his most exciting and successful projects to date.

A Symbol of Modern Luxury

Luxury Concierge Center is certainly not an ordinary office, it is a social hub where you could start planning your next holiday, diploma trips, or real estate exploration within Vietnam or perhaps a summer cottage in an English countryside.
