Designed by The Scientist, see how the custom cabinetry not only provides ample storage space in this dual-key unit—it also contributes to the elegant look of this apartment
With breathtaking views of the city and the surrounding greenery, this high-floor apartment is home to a couple who adore the property’s garden-living concept. The unit is situated in a condominium with a tranquil environment— its amenities include relaxing landscaped gardens, an infinity pool and spacious rooftop decks for yoga and other leisure activities.
The 861sqft two-bedroom residence is a dual-key unit; it was originally configured as two studio-like spaces with separate kitchens. Now that the couple live there, its layout had to be reconfigured to suit the owners’ needs and lifestyle.
The clients enlisted homegrown studio The Scientist to improve the spatial flow of their abode and design ample storage solutions that could be seamlessly integrated into it. They also wanted to expand the master bedroom and kitchen, while creating a cosy living area. “In a nutshell, we needed to create lots of storage space within the apartment’s spatial constraints, in a way that was also aesthetically pleasing,” shares Alvin Ling, founder and design principal of The Scientist. Together with his colleague Teh Yee Ling, the designers embarked on a major overhaul of the unit, completing the project swiftly in 10 weeks.
