Michael and Michelle’s careers in IT and finance respectively have taken them all around the world. Having lived in countries like Canada and China, they finally decided to settle down in Singapore after residing here for the past five years. Their choice: this apartment in River Valley they share with their chihuahuas Yoda and Leia, who have 10,000 followers on Instagram.

They sought out Carmen Tang, design director of Wolf Woof, to design the interior. “Our brief to Carmen was very functional. We shared what we wanted each room and space for and the type of storage we needed. Having moved from country to country, we have accumulated a lot of stuff, so we wanted to maximise the use of every surface for storage,” says Michelle.

The couple has a preference for a modern luxe interior and Carmen has her take on this style. “Modern luxe is open to different interpretations. For Wolf Woof, it is never gold all over. Neither does it have to be dark and sombre. Ours is more of an understated luxury while exuding lushness, and this home is a classic example.”

The entrance foyer sets the tone for the rest of the place. A timber strip wall extends from the entrance foyer to the living area, and conceals the door to the household shelter in between the two areas. A similar feature wall provides a backdrop for the dining room, tying the various spaces on the first storey together. “Every strip of timber was individually laid and varnished,” Carmen highlights.
