MASTER’S TOUCH

The graceful and striking South Beach Residences designed by Foster + Partners along the historical Beach Road has not gone unnoticed. Not only does it afford breathtaking views of the Marina Bay area, but it is also fronted by icons such as Marina Bay Sands, Singapore Flyer and The Esplanade, not forgetting tail-end views of Orchard Road’s Raffles City and Dhoby Ghaut stretch. This posh development will offer 190 units where buyers can opt for the two-bedroom units to the cavernous five-bedroom penthouse. All the units will be furnished with quality appliances and imported fittings from well-known international brands such as Miele, Duravit, and Bulthaup. In addition, these pampered homeowners will have the convenience to access the services of a five-star JW Marriott hotel just below it simply by using their “Resident Card”. The mixed-use development will also offer 510,000 sq ft of Grade A office space, complemented by a mix of retail offerings.

In fact, one of the penthouse units at South Beach Residences was masterfully designed by Angela Lim of Sumisura, which led to its purchase by a homeowner. This four-bedroom penthouse with 5,000 sq ft over three levels has two bedrooms on each floor with a pool, alfresco dining area and sauna room on the roof terrace. The brief was to create a contemporary home with décor influenced by the penthouses of New York.

As the developer had close ties with Sumisura, they approached Lim to take on the challenge. She said, “The design brief was to create something befitting of such a penthouse in the Big Apple and to take advantage of the high ceiling in the living and dining space.”
