When a structural column threatened to disrupt the homeowners’ vision of an open living and bar area, LA Design Studio’s Adeline Lim chose not to conceal it, but to make it the centrepiece. Drawing on its structural role, the team reimagined the column as a symbol of strength and value, anchoring the design concept around it.

Wrapped in concrete with a deliberately exposed inner layer, the column evokes a gold bar embedded in rock, a quiet nod to hidden treasure. Early attempts with plasterboard fell short, leading the team to develop a rough composite layered with cement to achieve the desired fractured effect. The result is both raw and expressive, setting the tone for the rest of the home.

This material language extends into bespoke furnishings, which Lim describes as the most rewarding part of the project. A custom granite coffee table and TV console echo the column’s rugged presence. The table, formed by breaking and reassembling a full slab, celebrates the irregularities of natural stone, further enhanced by an oxidised brushed finish.

In the private quarters, a glass-enclosed biophilic divider separates the bedroom from the walk-in wardrobe while maintaining a sense of continuity. Storage is discreetly integrated below, balancing function with visual impact. Throughout, lighting is treated with similar care: indirect illumination shapes a calm atmosphere, while programmed scenes guide the day’s rhythm—from soft morning light to a gradual evening dim, ending beneath a ceiling scattered like a night sky.

When Jeremy Tay of Prestige Global Designs was brought in to shape a terrace house on Haig Lane, the structure had yet to take form. Working alongside the homeowners’ appointed contractor, Tay focused on space planning and interiors, crafting a five-storey home that balances ease with refinement.

Deceptively simple from the outside, the house unfolds across multiple levels, creating a sense of discovery. The entrance opens to a double-volume living room, with split levels leading to the car park below and shared spaces beyond, including the dining area, kitchen and bar. Upper floors house private zones, from the daughter’s bedroom and study to individual home offices and a master suite.

Family dynamics shaped the layout. The daughter’s room, finished in soft pink tones, was designed to evolve with her, while her study sits beside her mother’s for shared moments of work and supervision. The master suite leans into quiet luxury, with a textured walk-in wardrobe and a bathroom that opens to a private outdoor shower.

Balconies are fully utilised with a pool, lounge and outdoor gym. Throughout, custom carpentry and carefully chosen materials tie the spaces together, while statement tiles and sculptural lighting lend character.

Located within the Silversea condominium complex, this 980 sq ft apartment by Intheory Design channels the calm of an “oasis retreat”. Led by co-founder Ellba Tang, the home was completed in just two months, shaped around the owners’ desire for a cohesive, quietly restorative space.

A key move was to draw the outdoors in. Framed garden views, reflective surfaces and nature-led textures soften the boundary between inside and out, creating a gentle spatial flow. This is reinforced by a warm, organic palette of wood and earthy tones, paired with terrazzo flooring for depth and durability. Every material was chosen with maintenance in mind, balancing tactility with practicality.

In the kitchen, an arched green-tiled backsplash anchors the space, introducing texture while echoing the home’s recurring curved forms—from the island to cabinetry edges and dining table. These gestures temper the apartment’s geometry, lending a sense of continuity.

Working within a compact footprint, the team prioritised openness without sacrificing function. Storage is neatly integrated, while the master bathroom adopts an open-concept layout enclosed in glass, allowing light to pass through while preserving privacy. Deep green tiles, marble surfaces and brushed gold fixtures elevate the space, culminating in a stone-clad rain shower designed for quiet moments of retreat.

Despite its generous 9,000 sq ft plot, this two-storey detached home on Merryn Road was hindered by a fragmented layout following earlier renovations. To restore clarity and improve accessibility, the owners engaged Terrence Quah of Architology Interiors, who worked alongside ACO Architects to reimagine the space.

A key priority was future-proofing the home for the owners’ elderly parents. An elongated timber feature wall conceals both a five-metre shoe cabinet and a discreet ramp, allowing step-free access from the car porch. This balance between design expression and everyday function underpins the entire project.

At its centre, a sculptural spiral staircase connects the home’s social and private zones, set against marble flooring laid in a precise cross pattern. Around it, spaces are opened up for fluid entertaining, with thoughtful upgrades such as a timber-lined ceiling with concealed speakers and a suspended metal TV console.

To counter nearby highway noise, double-glazed glass panels and operable courtyard windows enhance both insulation and cross-ventilation, while framing lush views. The dining area extends this connection to nature with a courtyard garden and water feature.

Material choices reflect durability as much as comfort: timber is used sparingly, complemented by marble, metal and soft finishes. Custom carpets add warmth upstairs, rounding out a home designed to adapt gracefully to both daily life and larger gatherings.

Set within Nassim Park Residences, this 3,477 sq ft apartment was reworked by Mosh Interior for a Japanese family of six returning to Singapore. Led by Shermaine Maena Ong with design manager Yann Guo, the project balanced a tight, phased timeline with the need for a calm, highly organised home.

Renovation unfolded in two stages around the children’s school holidays, with early planning and pre-ordered materials ensuring efficiency. A key move was expanding the cramped foyer into a functional entry zone, complete with six niches for each family member and a small bench. A glass-panelled French door draws light into the once dim space.

Throughout, blond wood, rattan detailing and granite surfaces establish a warm, minimalist palette. Herringbone walnut flooring anchors the living and dining areas, while a timber feature wall conceals storage and circulation paths.

Practicality drives the layout: shared children’s rooms maximise space with built-ins and bunk beds, while the master suite integrates generous storage and a glass-partitioned wardrobe and bath. A sleek kitchen by Arclinea completes the home—refined, functional and designed for everyday family life.

Elliot James Interiors transformed a 6,300 sq ft townhouse in Tanglin into a refined, practical family home that grows with its occupants. Led by founder Elliot Barratt, the nine-month renovation reimagined the dark, fragmented three-storey space—originally with living areas on top and bedrooms below—into a warm, adaptable environment. A full-height courtyard introduces light and breeze to the basement, while a freestanding olive tree, ribbed wall pillars, and a rectangular patio create a striking visual identity.

Inside, strong lines and angular marble floors contrast with curved forms: a bespoke green suede sofa, an oval marble dining table, circular rugs and bedside lamps add softness. A neutral palette of whites, creams, deep blues, and earthy tones complements abundant greenery. Communal spaces were opened up by relocating utility areas to the basement, incorporating a dry kitchen and concealed wet kitchen by Arclinea.

Private quarters are designed for flexibility: the master suite features pocket doors, a walk-in wardrobe, and ensuite, while children’s rooms and a basement playroom incorporate climbing walls, monkey bars, and storage to support both play and learning. Personal offices, a crafting studio, and feng shui considerations ensure the home is as functional as it is imaginative, creating a space where the family can live, learn, and grow together.

In Sembawang Springs, Sharne Sulaiman designed the 7,800 sq ft White House as a serene, family-centred bungalow where space, light, and greenery flow seamlessly. Floor-to-ceiling glazing and a central atrium dissolve boundaries between indoors and out, while a sky garden functions as an ecological engine—cooling the home, attracting wildlife, and conserving water through smart irrigation. Monsoon windows, ventilation gaps, and reinterpreted eaves allow natural airflow, and rainwater is channeled to a reflection pool, integrating architecture with nature.

Inside, a muted Le Corbusier-inspired palette complements postmodern furniture, much of it refurbished from the family’s previous home. Materials like termite-resistant balau timber and stainless steel suit Singapore’s tropical climate and reduce environmental impact. Spaces are thoughtfully open, yet private, with barrier-free pathways, a platform lift, and elderly-friendly bathrooms.

Sustainability is embedded throughout: solar panels, solar-tube water heaters, rainwater recycling, and passive cooling reduce energy use, achieving a near net-positive footprint. Functional areas—from kitchens to a dedicated workshop—blend operational efficiency with fluid spatial design. The White House responds to family life and climate rhythms, offering a timeless sanctuary where architecture, nature, and daily living harmoniously intersect.

Tucked into a Bukit Timah cul-de-sac, this 5,500 sq ft semi-detached home combines concrete, glass, and timber into a striking, almost brutalist façade. Vertical fins provide shade, ventilation, and visual interest, while the three-level layout houses six bedrooms, a pool, gym, entertainment spaces, and open-plan living and dining areas that flow onto a breezy outdoor terrace.

Local interior firm KGID collaborated with Akta-rchitects over two years to craft an interior that is modern, luxurious, and family-friendly. Central to the design is a light-filled zone with pale-hued floors and walls, a Gamma Arredamenti sofa, Fendi Casa armchair, and a seven-metre-high dining area crowned by a Catellani & Smith Gold Moon chandelier above a marble-topped Eforma table.

Throughout the home, KGID layered materials and textures—light timber, dark wood, stone, and marble—to balance clean-lined minimalism with warmth. Bedrooms feature blonde parquet, light grey stone, and sculptural rotatable fins, while the master suite blends sunlight, drapes, padded headboards, and backlit bedside tables for a cocooning effect. Bathrooms showcase varied marble tones, marrying elegance with function. The result is a contemporary, livable abode that celebrates texture, light, and refined materiality.
