Location: Singapore
Interior Designer: Aloysius Ganiel

Aesthetically, the homeowner wanted the house to have elements of a timeless luxury style to reflect the urban contemporary look of Singapore. Functionally, they wanted to have a space that separates both social and private space and with personal activities included in their everyday life.

The key aspect is to create a gradual transition from the social to the private interior space and help people decompress from the fast pace of the city. This sense of decompression is achieved through the materials palette, which mirrors the interior environment in the communal social space and then becomes softer and warmer into the bedrooms as people continue their journey into the house.

This concept was driven by connectivity, the layering of spaces and the creation of views. The family members are guided on a journey through the space. Strong design details and material elements, like the stone and carpentry finishing, establish symmetry in the front of the entrance and draw the view to the secluded styling living space when approaching into the space. This natural lighting and well-ventilated space heightens the whole interior experience, providing intimacy and sensational mood of each individual area that deepens the connection between the house itself and home-owner.

The Designer selected muted tones and honed materials to enhance the sense of authenticity and comfort. This creates a quiet, elegant atmosphere, with mirrored surfaces and natural stone catching the eye. The central point-of-sale is made from stone and commands attention, while the bespoke furnishings, woven elements and handmade touches add texture, luxury and a feeling of escape.
