Sharp, crisp lines, luxurious finishes and a streamlined design account for the signature style of this impressive abode
When the male homeowner purchased this impressive two-and-a-half story home as a birthday gift for his wife, he had planned for it to be their retirement home. However, seeing as the pre-existing interior design was outdated, they commissioned design director Elden Lim and his firm Minimo & Minimology to help with the updating of the design into something with a more contemporary look.
As the owners love to entertain and host dinner parties often, it was imperative for their home to have a space that is easily adaptable to both intimate and big gatherings. With the decision to then dedicate the entire lower floor of the unit to eating and lounging – where the kitchen, dining and living areas would all flow into one another seamlessly – all the non-essential walls were torn down to create a fully open concept space.
Entering the home, the sharp contrast of black and white is immediately noticed, where the white homogeneous stone-effect floor tiles from Hafary are paired against two strikingly elegant slabs of marble and other black-accented fixtures and furnishings. This crisp contrast is also repeated throughout the space, which offers up visual consistency as one moves through the home. Meanwhile, large windows dotted throughout the home flood space with daylight.
