There is much to love about a waterfront home. From the ample sunlight and coastal breezes to the soothing oceanic sights and sounds, such a cherished abode invites one to revel in tranquil views and luxuriate in its prized proximity to the sea.
That much is true for this corner T terrace house in Singapore's Sentosa Cove, an exclusive residential enclave known for its spectacular sea views, yacht berths and relaxed, resort-style environment. When its owner acquired this property, the Chinese national had envisioned it as a holiday haven in which he could entertain friends and business associates. He tasked homegrown firm Akihaus Design Studio to create a stunning interior after hearing glowing recommendations from his friends.
When design director Lawrence Puah first visited the original 3,702 sq ft site, he felt that the existing interior did not take full advantage of the property's prime location. To give the home an interior makeover befitting its beautiful views, the studio naturally took inspiration from its idyllic tropical setting.
"One of the key drivers of our design was to engage the site: to be outward-looking, and to bring a sense of tropical flair and a resort vibe that one would come to expect in a home at Sentosa Cove," shares Puah, commenting on the concept for the nine-month-long design and renovation of the home.
