Ahead of the Tatler Homes Design Awards 2026, the jury panel gathered for an intimate dinner at Carera Bathroom’s clubhouse in Sentosa Cove

First launched in 2017, the annual Tatler Homes Design Awards have since become a prestigious benchmark for excellence in Singapore’s luxury residential landscape.

Each year, the awards shine the spotlight on the nation’s most innovative luxury residential projects and showrooms. Winners are carefully selected and voted on by a distinguished jury panel, which brings together leading professionals, academics and luminaries from across the industry.

To honour those who have so graciously lent their time to the awards, Tatler Homes Singapore recently joined hands with Carera Bathroom to host an intimate dinner for the jury members of Tatler Homes Design Awards 2026, held at the stunning waterfront Carera Clubhouse nestled within Sentosa Cove.

In anticipation of the gala, Tatler Homes Singapore gathered the jury members for an exclusive dinner at the Carera Clubhouse. Conceived as a glamorous lived-in environment, the Carera Clubhouse is designed to let clients experience bathroom fittings in situ, emphasising the bathroom as a long-term investment. Well-appointed with amenities aplenty, the clubhouse also serves as a venue for the company’s private events and workshops.

In the basement, one can find a wine cellar, karaoke lounge, games den, conference room, as well as a bar. There, guests of our jury appreciation session mingled and enjoyed drinks before dinner commenced. Carera bathroom co-founder Jennifer Ng and commercial director Dylan Tay walked guests through the clubhouse, which was designed in collaboration with Index Design, Gessi’s in-house design team in Italy, and the principal of Laufen.

Once guests were seated for dinner, Asih Jenie, editor of Tatler Homes Singapore gave a warm welcome to everyone with her opening remarks. Tay then followed up with a welcome speech that outlined the story of Carera Bathroom, which is entering its 16th year. The Singapore-based bathrooms specialist was founded on a simple but laser-focused premise: to prioritise quality, craft, and long-term partnerships in the realm of high-end bathroom fittings. The company's two other showrooms—a flagship space in Tai Seng and a Gessi boutique on Penang Road—are just as thoughtfully designed as the clubhouse to best showcase products from the brands and manufacturers that it carries.
