Homeowners often imagine their ideal abode as a unique blend of size, location and style; it is a vision that guides their design journey. The couple who own this home had fallen in love with the interiors of the award-winning boutique development MeyerHouse, designed by American studio Yabu Pushelberg. So, when they found their perfect fit in a duplex penthouse at The Residences at W in Sentosa Cove, the next step was finding the right designer to realise their dream interiors.

The couple contacted Designworx Interior Consultant after reading an article on the award-winning design studio's work in Tatler Homes Singapore. “They shared that one of the things they loved about MeyerHouse was its abacus screens. It was serendipitous when we learnt that Eastern Furnishing was the contractor for the show suite,” says design director Terri Tan. Having collaborated on a previous penthouse project at Nassim Mansion, Designworx once again worked with the contractor on this home.

The design team sought to personalise the 13-year-old property for a family of four and their helper. Tan aimed to create a modern, luxurious space tailored to the family’s needs. “The client, Arjany Njoman, was very involved in the process. Before we even started on the conceptual proposal, she did her own ‘homework’ and shared mood images she liked for various spaces,” Tan says. While MeyerHouse served as a springboard, the vision for this home took its own shape.
