A well-designed suite has an almost magical ability to immerse the inhabitant in a calming and restful environment. So, when local design firm Sujonohun was commissioned to create a cohesive design for a three-bedroom show unit at The Commodore condominium, the team drew inspiration from contemporary suite designs for their concept.
We designed this project like a hotel suite where the spaces are open and interconnected, the lights are dim and the materials used blend in seamlessly without causing a jarring contrast in the interior, says Sujonohun co-founder and design director Molina Hun.
The designers focused on creating a thematically holistic space. To maintain a cohesive flow through the show apartment, a walnut wood-tone panelling was chosen as the main material to clad the walls throughout the unit. Even the ceilings are covered with lightertoned panels instead of leaving them bare to reduce the contrast between the walls and ceiling. Special care was taken to choose the exact shade of walnut, Hun adds, to ensure the apartment exudes a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
With this muted palette, the designer could then introduce compelling textures and details to different rooms to create visual interest. For example, vertical slats form a soothing backdrop for the master dresser, while a statement fluted wall divider separates the living room from the corridor.
