Designed By 2nd Edition, The Park Colonial Sales Gallery Pairs Modern Elements Of Chinoiserie While Paying Tribute To The Ambitions Of Early Explorers.
Glamorous, elegant and beautifully composed—that’s likely to be your first impression of Park Colonial, a new condominium in Woodleigh that has been turning heads. To create a wealth of decorative possibilities for future homeowners, CEL Unique Development tasked Hilary Loh, founder of boutique firm 2nd Edition, to design the Park Colonial sales gallery and show apartments. She took inspiration from an evocative source: the Age of Exploration, a time when European explorers made their adventurous journeys across the seas.
HEIGHT OF STYLE
The concept comes to life even from the entrance of the sales gallery. The entryway opens up to an opulent space flanked by large doors and vaulted ceilings, before leading to a light and bright mosaic-tiled path. This connects to the stately VIP room, which is designed in the style of a Captain’s cabin—it displays vintagestyle photos and artefacts. Next to it is a quaint European-style cafe, which is set against lush foliage.
