Designing a Luxury Palace in the heart of Silicon Valley with Hoa Chen
As a builder and owner of Silva Management INC., as well as its sister luxury retail store, Lusso, Hoa Chen (picture to the left), knows a thing or two about choosing the right appliances for a home. Along with requiring careful consideration during shopping, he also says, “We build these homes to sell, and we chose Thermador because people get excited to see and hear about the brand in a luxury home.” As far as designing a kitchen, well, Hao aims to create a space that is “elegant but not personal. We want the homebuyer to have the freedom to make the kitchen their own, while still giving them a kitchen that’s beautiful from the start.” he told us.

They also put in a 24K gold island sink faucet, gold cabinet handles, and other gold decorative pieces to give the space an even more luxurious feel. To create a less monolithic space, Hoa used a Thermador wine preservation column to divide the right side of the kitchen into a wine bar area. Hoa told us, “We wanted to create sort of a separate space within the room without disrupting the overall flow. So, we accented it with stainless steel to match the wine column and carried it over with the Navy-Blue to connect the space with the rest of the kitchen.” After all that, what do you end up with? A kitchen remodel beyond luxury.After all that, what do you end up with? A kitchen remodel beyond luxury.
