"TEN’s attention to detail and expertise in maximising the use of space were impressive. From custom artwork to bespoke furniture and lighting, every element was thoughtfully designed, interweaved with the existing shell, and curated to align perfectly with Cortland's visual language. No detail was overlooked, and the result speaks volumes."
