Does one expect anything less than a brilliant display of style when two people embedded in the realm of design come together to build a home? She was a fashion editor before she founded her own creative agency, BeastCorp. He is the co-founder of Sol Luminaire, a lighting company with its own design arm that is also a multi-designer retailer. Together, Evon Chng, 33, and Joseph Ho, 35, have created a home that is an effortless blend of mid-century modern Palm Springs, Mediterranean warmth, and contemporary city living. The setting is equally dreamy: A tranquil estate in the east that's a stone's throw away from the beach, where shallow pools and lush greenery set a serene mood even before you step into the home proper.
When the private lift opens onto their penthouse unit, one is immediately enveloped in softness and warmth-the house is awash in tones of cream, caramel and biscuit, and shades of sand, chalk and terracotta. The furnishings convey a similar sense of cosiness. The open living and kitchen space is dominated by a ginormous curved sectional and a plush armchair. The only burst of colour comes in the form of jade green marble veined with tinges of amethyst. The couple ordered the marble for the kitchen island, but there was a substantial amount left over, and so they decided to fashion a coffee table and a kitchen backsplash out of it. Whatever remained was carved into plinths, trays and other objects for the home that now dot the space.
