Stepping into JACOB’S DREAM is akin to drawing back the curtain of time. The interiors pay homage to 19th-century Shanghai, where the dignified refinement of British colonial design intertwined with the poetic depth of Chinese culture, forming the early fusion of East and West. The design team masterfully sculpts the space, employing symmetry and contrast to define its rhythm—Roman columns stand in quiet equilibrium, offset by intricately carved Chinese screens and panels, while rattan seating introduces a tactile softness, striking a balance between intimacy and openness.
