Sophie Mong knows that her 1,291sq ft apartment in the Marine Parade area of Singapore is quite the find. Located on a high floor, the open concept living and dining rooms look out to a calming vista of the neighbouring East Coast Park that far surpassed the scenery from many other condominiums and apartments that she and her husband viewed in their search for their new home. During our visit, we could see passing ships and people sailing—the picturesque surroundings almost like a gently moving tableau before us. Mong opted to have long windows that run across the length of the living and dining areas, with the slim window panes framing the scene almost like a painting.
The apartment also boasts beautiful artworks by Mong herself. She made the transition to doing art full-time just three months ago after quitting her job in market research. With its laid back vibe, the flat—a chic and restorative family home—also functions as an inspiring studio space for her to do her own abstract paintings—she is currently in a green and yellow phase. The location near the beach means that her two-year-old son Liam can enjoy frequent play times by the sea while she basks in the balmy daytime weather and soft winds, which, at the same time, lends a breezy atmosphere to the house.
