Rooted in classic European sensibilities, this three-bedroom Executive Condominium features Victorian-style details set against a black-and-white backdrop.

Classic Sensibility

Homes featuring European designs tend to bring with them a unique air of elegance and beauty – one that is usually conveyed with the help of an eclectic interior filled with classy looking, vintage-style furnishings. However, things are slightly different at this three-bedroom Executive Condominium located along Fernvale Lane, thanks to a streamlined look that sets it apart from the archetypical image of highly elaborate Victorian-style interiors.

“As per the request of the owners, we sought to create a home that is both clean yet capable of conveying a distinct sense of elegance with the help of vintage elements,” says Landren Lim, who is the creative director at interior design firm Mesh Werk Studio.

Clad in monochromatic shades for a consistent appearance, each and every room in the unit features a similar colour palette of ebony black and porcelain white. Likewise, a trio of textures, fixtures and construction materials plays a role in creating visual consistency throughout the entire space.

Drawing upon European sensibilities, the living room shows off a relatively austere, yet trim interior, which impresses with its collection of carefully-chosen accessories and vintage-looking pieces that stand out against one another. For instance, a suspended TV console makes for a distinctive addition with its smooth, off-white marble top when backed by a feature wall dressed in sable laminates.
