Who we are:
Parenthesis is a design studio that explores the relationship between space, material and objects in immersive interior environments, threading the cultural context and lifestyle aspect through a modern lens.
How we work with clients:
It takes two hands to clap. We’ve been blessed with good clients who listen to our creative direction. As designers, we need to fulfil the client’s requirements and not succumb to our own aesthetic beliefs. On the other hand, clients have to trust that designers are the creative problem solvers at the helm of the project.
Changing patterns we’re seeing in residential interior design:
Clients are putting more budget into renovation as they see the design value, and have to stay home more. There is an emphasis on human- and lifestyle-centric, engaging design rather than being overly practical or renovating a home for the sake of it looking new.
Light timber, gold accents and thoughtful design elements give this apartment by Parenthesis its natural charm.
Japanese and Scandinavian design influences come together in this flat to form the basis of a home that fits perfectly into the lives of the newlywed homeowners.
Parenthesis creates an elegant family oasis out of an inter-terrace house where the needs of three generations are catered for.
This home away from home is designed by Parenthesis as a sanctuary from Singapore’s cosmopolitan bustle.
With its light wood carpentry, terazzo floors and fluted glass panels, this HDB flat showcases Parenthesis’ knack for designing calming yet creative spaces.
