Luxurious materials, clean lines and a carefully thought-out floor plan account for the signature style of this three-bedroom apartment
However, with a little creativity, bay windows can actually turn from restricting features of a home into beautiful space-enhancers. Case in point: this three-bedroom resale condominium unit designed by local interior design studio akiHAUS.
Before addressing the bay windows, the design team – comprising Lawrence Puah, Ash Ashiqin and Jenny Phumthida – had to figure out what design theme the owners wanted for their home. “They settled on a mix of resort and hotel design sensibilities,” Lawrence recalls, “This explains the white and wood tones in the outer communal areas, which give the shared spaces a more breezy and airy vibe. Conversely, linenlike laminates were used in the bedrooms for a touch of softness, while the darker shades in the bathrooms add luxe and elegance.”
At the front of the home is an angled walkway. Besides just being a path into the inner sanctums of the home however, the corridor was made more functional with the installation of full height storage units. In addition, recessed niches embedded within serve a number of purposes. For example, the vertical niche at the front not only serves as a display shelf for the homeowners’ personal knick-knacks, the mirror backing also lets the owners check themselves out one final time before leaving the home.
Further into the home, a floor-to-ceiling wooden slatted screen-cum-television wall comes into view, which separates the living from the dining and kitchen spaces. By doing so, each section of the home is offered privacy but they don’t feel closed off from each other as the space between each individual slat creates a seethrough effect.
