Tatler Homes Design Awards 2024: Vote for the Best Bespoke Concept in Singapore

The renovation involved reconfiguring the layout by removing non-structural walls to enhance natural light and space utilisation. Key features include a 180-degree rotatable TV wall, a 2.4m-long dining table, and a 1.7m-long kitchen island, both designed for flexibility and contrasted with Sensa Black Beauty granite.

Upstairs, a children’s bedroom was converted into a stylish suite, while the attic was remodelled into a private enclave with a unique dressing table made from a vintage sewing machine. The project, underscored by a “less is more” ethos, resulted in a simple yet elegantly personalised home.

In Singapore’s Serangoon, M.Spaco has transformed a semi-detached house into an eco-conscious marvel, striking a balance between modern design and sustainability worthy of a Best Bespoke Concept nominee.

Emphasising a reduced carbon footprint, the renovation incorporates durable, low-VOC materials like marble, quartz, and granite, alongside synthetic alternatives to lessen natural stone extraction and landscape erosion.

The property’s modern flair is encapsulated in its white facade with black accents, setting it apart in a historic neighbourhood. The interior, illuminated by natural light through large windows and an innovative air well, features marble flooring that enhances the sense of space, complemented by high ceilings and a grand staircase with parquet flooring and gold-trimmed glass railing.

Ensuite bedrooms benefit from this light-filled approach, with two accessing a shared balcony. M.Spaco’s commitment to combining aesthetics with environmental mindfulness has crafted a home that is both its family’s pride and an example of sustainable living.

This Singapore condominium has been artfully reimagined as a tribute to the breezy elegance of Southern California’s mid-century modern design. Spearheaded by Stephanie Er of Cream Pie Studio, the space was transformed to emphasise openness, natural light, and a harmonious flow between areas.

The renovation saw strategic removals, such as the powder room by the entrance, to create a welcoming, airy living space. Natural materials and timber detailing highlight the connection to nature, with curved walls and a distinct island counter in the living area adding a touch of organic softness.

The use of Calacatta Gold marble across the kitchen surfaces brings a luxurious yet understated elegance, complementing the home’s serene palette. Sheer curtains allow light to filter through, silhouetting the lush palms outside against the interior, while minimalistic design in the children’s rooms caters to changing needs over time. This thoughtful redesign showcases a balance between aesthetic appeal and functional living, embodying a modern yet timeless sanctuary.

Embracing architectural quirks, Mr Shopper Studio transformed an apartment in Singapore’s Trillium condominium into an airy, light-filled haven, leveraging the unique curved layout of the living room to define the space’s aesthetic. Johan Ng, the senior interior designer, crafted a design that capitalises on the apartment’s distinctive shape by introducing a cove ceiling with smooth, rounded lines, mirroring the living room’s curves and enhancing the space’s flow. 

This feature, especially striking when illuminated, turns the room’s unconventional shape into a standout design statement. Adhering to a modern classic theme, the apartment features pale walls with bead moulding that cohesively extends into the dining area.

A backlit, mirrored shelving unit next to the TV adds a personal touch, while furniture from Italian brand Calligaris enriches the space with its timeless design. In the kitchen, functionality meets style with a layout tailored to the family’s needs and countertops enlivened with gold streaks.

The curves continue in the bedrooms, with furniture like globular pendant lamps and rounded tables, and an elliptical mirror in the dressing area, maintaining the home’s harmonious design. Completed in three months, this project stands as a testament to the power of collaborative design, merging client vision with innovative solutions to create a space that is beautiful and uniquely tailored to its inhabitants.

KNQ Associates transformed a three-storey house in Singapore into a courtly residence, blending classical details with Art Deco influences to cater to a three-generation family of eight. With a strong client-designer relationship foundational to their third project together, KNQ was given the freedom to design interiors that echo the home’s Victorian-style exterior while injecting modernity through Art Deco flair, reminiscent of luxurious hotels and resorts worldwide.

The design respects the original architectural elements, integrating Art Deco features to harmonise the interior with Victorian inspiration. Bold geometrical shapes, gold and chrome tones, and intricate patterns characterise various spaces. The entrance and lobby dazzle with marble and metal grilles while the living areas showcase burnished metal accents and gilded frames. Bedrooms feature semi-circular cabinet pulls and geometric patterns in earthy hues and blue tones, striking black and white wallpaper contrasted against parquet flooring in one particular bedroom.

The master bathroom boasts black and white mosaic tiles, and the guest bathroom is adorned with bronze tiles and a statement mirror, all illuminated by decorative lighting to highlight the home’s unique charm. This renovation creates a palatial yet comfortable dwelling that truly reflects its occupants’ tastes and needs.
