ONLY THE BEST
No expense has been spared to ensure that every inch of Deva Yama embodies perfection. The very finest materials and equipment, fitted and installed by experienced craftsmen, have been used throughout... Take for example the imported Poggenpohl kitchens with standard SIEMENS appliances and GAGGENAU at option.
Or the fact that Germany’s famous JUNG switches and home automation systems were selected for your own comfort and safety, not to mention the stylish and rich look. Yes, standard, no surcharge! Where GROHE tapware has become the standard of up-scale project we have gone for the ultimate in bathroom fittings, Hans Grohe’s Axor range of taps, mixers, shower heads and rain showers.
Viabizzuno from Italy has taken great interest in Deva Yama and recommended several of their high end lighting systems for our project which we have taken up as standard specs in combination with durable down lights and wall lights. Given the constant attention and servicing that tropical wood requires we have opted for the durable, service free powder coated aluminum glazing from Sun Paradise throughout the house. Standard ? Yes, because only the best is good enough for Deva Living clients.
