Two Become One

A sanctuary of calm, this apartment blends architecture with its surroundings—where warm, organic elements complement the lush, verdant landscape

Emphasising the integration of natural elements into the built environment, biophilic design seeks to promote a sense of peace and well-being amid the urban cityscape. This 980 sq ft apartment, located within the Silversea condominium complex in Marine Parade, is one such example.

Rooted in the essence of an “oasis retreat”, the residence embodies a soothing tranquillity through the considered integration of lush greenery and natural elements that foster a connection to nature and evoke feelings of restorative calm.

The owners had sought a cohesive abode that reflects their lifestyle and tastes while fostering a serene and inviting atmosphere, and enlisted Intheory Design to bring their dream home to life. Led by Ellba Tang, co-founder of the interior design firm, the team prioritised functionality, aesthetics and personalisation, completing the project in just two months.

BIOPHILIC INFLUENCES

With its expansive garden view as a central focal point, a key design principle was to blur the boundaries between the indoors and out, bringing the beauty of the natural surroundings into the heart of the home. Generous openings, strategically positioned reflective surfaces and nature-inspired textures work together to facilitate an effortless spatial flow—emphasising the harmony between architecture and landscape.
