A SEASONAL STAY

When John and Michelle began looking for a tropical getaway to escape the harsh Canadian winters with their two children, a coastal apartment in Singapore turned out to be the ideal choice, allowing the tight-knit family to reconnect with loved ones in the city while enjoying the welcome warmth. Facing the sea along the edges of East Coast Park, this three-bedroom unit at Meyer Mansion embodies a sought-after “beach house” ambience, mirroring the serenity of its ocean views within its own elegant interiors.

A TROPICAL RETREAT

The home was envisioned as an inviting space, dedicated to lively gatherings during the festive seasons—a priority for homemaker and lifestyle influencer Michelle, who has a penchant for cooking and entertaining. Led by interior design firm Sujonohun, the renovation thus revolved around opening up the space to maximise its gorgeous views as well as interactions between guests. With this refreshed layout, the apartment belies its limited square footage, feeling spacious even to its owners, who spend the rest of the year in a grand landed residence.
