Ken Kao’s Design Philosophy for Oasis Estate
Architect Kenneth Kao’s first sketches referenced Fallingwater, and that influence persists in cantilevered balconies, long flying roofs, and a central stone core drawn from granite quarries on site. Stainless wire rails, teakinset decking, and a bluestone entry evoke the clean lines of a superyacht, while low-profile rooflines and shaded verandas echo Balinese pavilions. Interior furnishings are oriented toward the surrounding sea, using luminous whites, soft grays, and gentle blues that allow the vivid landscape to provide most of the color.
