In this home, curves and arches define the architecture and every surface reflects a commitment to clean, minimalist design. Sculpted features morph into display shelves and even conceal the entrance to the household shelter. To unify the space further, Lead Designer Max Lee from SG Interior Design has extended microcement flooring throughout the home. “Done in a similar shade to the walls, the matte finish gently reflects light, amplifying the natural brightness that floods in through the windows,” he explains.
A large internal window enhances the visual connection between the study and living area while allowing natural light to flow more effectively throughout the unit. In this home, every detail – curved or straight – contributes to a serene, cohesive living environment and is enhanced by a thoughtfully restrained colour palette of whites, greys and muted earth tones.
Strategically situated between the kitchen and dining area, the pantry accommodates a large fridge and bar, making it easy for the homeowners to grab a drink or prep beverages when they entertain. The woodgrain cabinetry blends in seamlessly with the adjacent kitchen carpentry, maintaining visual harmony.
The kitchen’s arch-shaped storage cabinetry is not just unconventional but also highlights SG Interior Design’s craftsmanship and technical expertise. “The challenge was ensuring these custom curves were not only visually striking but also structurally sound and practical for daily use,” Max explains. He adds that achieving this required a deep understanding of material properties and expert craftsmanship to execute the design with precision.
With efficient space planning, the designer was able to construct a cosy bay window where the owners could go to unwind and enjoy some me-time. It even includes open storage for books. Here too, the deep green wall adds colour and evokes a sense of calm.
