Rather than a tabula rasa approach, this apartment's sensitive, subtle design focusses on its beautiful, natural surroundings. LYNN TAN catches the spirit of the place.

WHO LIVES HERE

A couple, their two children, and two dogs

HOME A three-bedroom condominium apartment at Arcadia Road

SIZE 3,735 sq ft

This ground-floor apartment unit is tucked away in a very private corner of the development, surrounded by lush greenery. Despite being almost 40 years old and in its original state, the discerning owners recognised that it has “really good bones” and knew they could not do too much to it for the sake of having something new.

The expat couple in their 50s, who work in finance and technology, decided to engage an architect for their renovation project instead of an interior designer on the advice of a friend. They ultimately decided on L Architects, who designed their colleague’s ground-floor apartment at River Valley, which Home & Decor featured in the January 2022 issue.
