Jewel By The Sea

This sleek abode features spectacular views of the sea and opulent details fit for royalty.

With its unbroken sea views and generous space, this lofty penthouse floats above the surrounding waters, almost like a yacht at sea. The abode’s unusual proportions immediately stood out to Jeremy Tay, director of Prestige Global Designs, when he first visited the home. “The layout of the home is elongated and spacious, appearing like the shape of a superyacht or a ship,” he recalls. An outdoor terrace runs along the side of its living and dining areas, not unlike the outdoor passageway of a yacht—it leads to a considerable outdoor deck and Jacuzzi area that overlooks the marina.

Home to a family of three, this 5,000sqft single-storey apartment already makes a grand impression with its waterfront location and generous living areas. What the family wanted were equally opulent furnishings to match the apartment’s remarkable features. During their search for the perfect collaborator, the family came across a project by Prestige Global Designs featured in Singapore Tatler Homes; they were so impressed that they tasked the local practice with the interior design of their abode. The design firm’s co-founders, Tay and Michael Ong, led the project as they sought to turn this exquisite space into a stylish sanctuary that celebrates its proximity to the sea and the owner’s preference for gold accents.
