The Brief

The couple who live in this eye-catching penthouse apartment were already acquainted with designer Chris Huang of Bowerman Interior SpacePlanner from the time he designed the owner’s new coding school interior. Happy with the results at the school, she decided to engage Chris to renovate her 3-bedroom penthouse apartment, which has been specifically colour-zoned into two distinct areas. Level one is rich with hues and exudes vibrant energy, a space to play with the kids, cook, entertain and enjoy each other’s company. In contrast, level two was specifically drenched in neutrals and white to induce a sense of calm, allowing the blended family to rest and relax.

The overall brief included a liveable, classy space that would maximise the high ceilings of the apartment. The homeowners are both avid climbers and wanted to incorporate their love for climbing into the home. Since the other must-haves included a cigar room and a study area, Chris decided to combine all of these necessities into one standout space. The result is a seemingly effortless multi-functional zone drenched in a refreshing shade of blue. This room was also dedicated to the owner’s late father, who passed away during the renovation.
