A Bold Direction And The Thoughtful Curation Of Treasured Possessions

A bold direction and the thoughtful curation of treasured possessions come together masterfully in this imaginative abode

Lino and Kavita stand at the ready, greeting all who step into the foyer. With luggage in hand, the duo—actually a pair of sculptures by artist Bruno Catalano— evoke a sense of curiosity and adventure. This whimsical mood is exactly what the homeowners aim to convey in their 2,347sqft abode in the Principal Garden condominium, where they live with their young daughter.

“The well-travelled owners wanted their home to look different and interesting, with surprises to be discovered in every corner,” says Jeremy Tay, co-founder and director of Prestige Global Designs. “For this project, we injected colours, textures and patterns to create a unique and luxurious interior. We wanted to create a sense of awe in every part of the house by adding interesting elements to the spaces; this makes it feel like one is exploring the world within the home, especially as the clients love to travel.”

REALM OF WHIMSY

A pair of French doors was specially chosen to allow natural light to illuminate the entrance foyer. Elegant furnishings from Hermès, including a leather sofa, armchairs and marble coffee tables, evoke a sense of understated luxury in the living area. The designers also installed a spray-painted wall feature as a complementary backdrop to the Bang & Olufsen TV and speakers.

In contrast to the neutral tones of the living room, the dining area is set against a Gucci wallcovering depicting herons and dragonflies on a striking pink background. A round marble dining table and chairs in teal leather with coral piping from Gubi anchor the space while a Baccarat crystal vase and drinking glasses pair perfectly with the A Walk in the Garden tableware from Hermès.
