As the interior designers and directors of Prestige Global Designs, Jeremy Tay and Michael Ong have had the opportunity to design many penthouses. “Each home has different characteristics and clients all have different requirements. So our approach is to provide plenty of customisation for their needs,” says Tay. Most importantly, the firm aims to celebrate the abundance of natural light and nice views that penthouses typically possess.
NAVIGATING SPACE
This particular penthouse in Singapore is unique in that it combines two abutting units. The family, with two young children, had previously lived in a three-bedroom apartment nearby but desired more space. The house also had to accommodate family gatherings and occasional visits of grandparents.
“We are a close-knit family and so we wanted a home to create memories with our children as they grow up— to have cosy areas where we can play games and hang out together, as well as spaces we can quietly read in,” shares the wife.
The entrance is located at the larger five-bedroom unit, whose living area is kept intact. An opening in an adjoining wall connects the two units. To enhance functionality, the designers removed one bedroom to create a larger living area, and turned another into the master bedroom’s walk-in wardrobe. The firm also enlarged the son’s bedroom by removing the ensuite bathroom. In the smaller two-bedroom unit, there is now a guest room and entertainment area for accommodating lively children during gatherings.
