The mixture of marble, wood and metal accents lend a sense of warmth to the entire apartment. Flourishes of glamour, from elegant patterns to plush fabrics like velvet, offer a luxurious atmosphere.  Each area is anchored by distinctive elements, and yet works together visually.

The open-plan living and dining room is a cosy space that combines restrained colours with clean lines. Towering cabinets flank the seating area, with shelves featuring objets d’art and other prized possessions.

Anthony ensured that the layout of the stylish space will help to foster conversation for the close-knit family. “They wanted a common space where they can all come together to entertain, bond and have family gatherings together,” she says.

Other bespoke touches found around the home were designed to reflect the sense of sophistication that the home embodies. The powder room, for example, is an ode to oriental design. The space features a hand-painted silk wallpaper with bamboo murals, paired with elaborate custom-designed mirrors and opulent accents. 

An elegant spiral staircase connects the living space to the outdoor pool area on the upper level. “The journey between the two levels had to be an unexpected experience,” Anthony explains.

Together with the contractor and an electrician, the design team cleverly engineered lights at the base of each step to offer a warm and cosy glow. “We found a way to provide electricity so that the edges of the staircase can light up, creating a dramatic ambience as one climb up the spiral staircase,” the designer enthuses. “The inspiration to dress the staircase into a tropical hanging garden came from the clients, and a huge Buddha statue, which we found a perfect spot for on the pool deck.”

The master bedroom boasts a restful atmosphere. The designer crafted a contemporary aesthetic by marrying neutral tones with a tactile mix of materials. At the request of the homeowners, the three children’s bedrooms had to “reflect the aesthetics of each individual”. 

Anthony delivered, creating tailored spaces that each had its own personality. The daughter’s bedroom, for example, features a velvet pink headboard with glossy lacquered finishes and metallic details. Another bedroom sports mirrored panels that visually expands the sense of space.

The result of the designer’s hard work and dedication is a modern sanctuary that exudes an effortlessly elegant ambience. “We were extremely pleased that she fully met our requirements and even surpassed our expectations in giving us our beautiful home,” share the owners. “If we were to single out a favourite room, it would be the main living room with the huge feature wall that’s made up of a commanding marble slab and the functional yet minimalistic storage cabinets. One cannot help but notice this unusual main feature once they step into our unit.”

For the designer, the project was a particularly memorable experience due to its significance. She gushes: “It was really heartwarming as the home was a gift to my client from their son, who is based overseas. They are a very tight-knit family with so many warm family values and traditions. I am very proud of the home, as each area is unique and very different from the next.”
