A stylish Singapore house with a resort vibe inside and out

Going on vacation is always a good idea. But imagine if you can enjoy all the elements that form a perfect holiday right at home. Think sandy stretches, blue skies, and the sound and sights of the sea. For one multigenerational family living together in Singapore, their resort-inspired abode evokes these details and more, as expertly crafted by Michael Ong and Jeremy Tay of Prestige Global Designs. The 4,500 sq ft property is located within a landed cluster-house development in Bukit Timah. The family of five got to know the work of the homegrown design firm through positive word of mouth, and were impressed enough by their portfolio to enlist the studio to craft a cosy, warm and timeless interior for them. Peek inside their beautiful home in our newsletter cover story.
