The Brief

For the owners of this apartment, everything begins with the view of Bukit Timah Hill.

The design responds by keeping the living, dining and dry kitchen as one open space, so the hill stays in sight from every corner of the home.

I

One room, facing the hill

Living, dining and the dry kitchen share a single open space along the windows.

II

An island of jade

At its centre sits the dry kitchen island, clad in an icy green marble with the depth and translucency of jade. Custom door knobs carved from the same stone carry the material through to the smallest detail.

The master bedroom

In the master bedroom, wardrobes in a mix of glass and timber veneer display the owner’s collection of bags while keeping the room calm and restful.

In Closing

The finish of a hotel suite

Throughout the apartment, almost every wall is clad, giving the home the quiet, layered finish of a hotel suite.
