In the lush and exclusive Bukit Timah neighbourhood in Singapore stands La modern house with plenty of remarkable surprises to be found within its elegant interior. Located on hilly terrain, this Good Class Bungalow enjoys an elevated view of its verdant surroundings, and is home to a family of five.
The family's recently acquired two-storey house was first constructed in the noughties and has a built-up area of 12,387 sq ft-ample space for all the amenities that the owners would need and more. The challenge was to create a sense of cosiness within this capacious property. The couple's three adult children came across Designworx Interior Consultant's portfolio online and were suitably impressed by the firm's work, particularly as the studio is known for crafting beautiful interiors for sprawling properties including various bungalows and penthouses in Singapore.
"A big home is like a huge canvas that needs the right brushstrokes to create a cosy sanctuary instead of cold 'trophy' space," explains Terri Tan, design director of Designworx Interior Consultant.
The brief given to the designer was simple: to create a timeless, understated, elegant and luxurious interior that also adheres to the family's feng shui requirements. The owners favour an airy primary palette comprising white, light and neutral hues, while using accent hues in the individual bedrooms. The wife is also an avid cook and desired an open concept culinary zone that would connect to an outdoor dining area.
The old flooring on the ground floor had to be replaced with white marble tiles, while the flooring of all the bedrooms and the study were to be clad in a new oak finish. A basement den was created, and the kitchens and bathrooms were to be completely redone to suit the family's needs.
