Fitting out a property with an impressive design pedigree can be a daunting task. Such was the case with this apartment unit in an award-winning luxury residential development near East Coast Park, which boasts an architectural design by Woha, interior spaces by Yabu Pushelberg, and landscaping by Ramboll Studio Dreiseitl. The key was to find a design professional with a matching energy and fervour for exploration, which the owner of this 2,971 sq ft apartment discovered in Goy Architects.
The homeowner felt that the existing interior, which featured a dark material palette with strong contrasts, was a little too masculine for her taste. A lawyer in her 30s who is on a sabbatical from a UN posting to help out with her family business, she longed for a softer approach to her living space. Her design brief included interior and furniture design for the apartment’s bedrooms and living area.
“The client was drawn to our studio’s emphasis on working with the region’s material culture,” shares studio founder Goy Zhenru. “She appreciates that we work with makers across Southeast Asia to create unique textures for our projects. She wanted to have a meaningful showcase of materials in her home as a conversation piece.” Thanks to this mindset compatibility, what could have been a relatively simple fit-out assignment evolved into a fruitful research and development project that yielded elegant, poetic spaces.
