Staying in New York left an indelible impression on the homeowners of this condominium unit, and it was only natural that the experience became a source of inspiration for their new home here in Singapore. Design director Lawrence Pugh from akiHAUS, who helmed the home's overhaul along with his senior designer Ash Ashigin, reveals: “The homeowners pulled out many visuals of New York lofts when we asked them for their design input.” From there, the akiHAUS team decided to marry the modern style with old world glamour — a look synonymous with the understated loftinspired style.
