Combining modern elements with a nature-inspired palette, this apartment showcases the family’s art collection in a tranquil and tasteful setting
It is often said that art brings out the soul of a home—that much is true, particularly for a family of avid art collectors. The owners’ artistic flair can clearly be felt in this stylish apartment, which pairs works by Asian artists with a tasteful array of Italian-made furniture and art objects.
The stunning interior is the work of Prestige Global Designs, an award-winning firm led by Michael Ong and Jeremy Tay, who achieved an effortlessly elegant interior within four months. Home to a family of four, the 2,900sqft apartment has four bedrooms which had to be spatially optimised to host the owners’ frequent gatherings. The well-travelled family also wanted to have as much storage space as possible to keep their home clutter-free and to accommodate their large luggage.
“Our clients desired a spacious, elegant interior with adequate storage throughout the unit,” shares Jeremy Tay, the design director of the firm. To tackle the time constraints, the firm worked closely with the clients to fabricate as many works offsite as possible, before installing them into the home.
The firm’s meticulous attention to detail ensured that every design element adds to the cohesive look of the interior. The main door, for instance, was custom-built by the firm with detailing made to match the doors of the other rooms.
Guests entering the home are first greeted by a spacious foyer with mirrored wall panels. These walls enhance the sense of spaciousness in the foyer while concealing storage space—a full-height mirrored wall doubles as the door to the luggage room. At the entry area, an abstract artwork is the focal point of the space. It’s paired with a Daum Macaw crystal sculpture in similar tones, next to a Flos table lamp that echoes the geometric design of the Minotti console.
