Given that the owner of this condo works from home, the design needed to balance both her living and professional needs. “The client gravitates toward modern industrial aesthetics, favours rich textures, and wanted a moody ambience while still having sufficient natural light,” says Jine Chin, Associate Designer at Three-D Conceptwerke, who set out to create a space that embodied that vision.
The living area is a masterclass in balance, where the designer’s skill ensures the moody aesthetic feels rich and inviting rather than dim or heavy. Limewash-painted walls add depth, while rich brown furnishings bring warmth. Sunlight from the balcony cuts through the darkness, so the space feels both grounded and effortlessly liveable.
A custom-potted plant from Soilboy sits in the balcony, bringing a touch of nature into the home. The greenery contrasts beautifully with the muted, earthy tones of the interior, adding vibrancy and a sense of freshness while softening the space with its organic, calming presence.
As the homeowner seldom cooks and prefers a more open layout, the designer has removed the original glass panel and door that enclosed the kitchen to enhance the sense of space. The peninsula counter extends into the dining table, creating a seamless flow between the two areas, while a sculptural pendant lamp anchors the space with a bold focal point.
Seamless dark-toned cabinetry echoes the home’s moody aesthetic. Storage has been reconfigured to suit the homeowner’s needs, while the lightly textured backsplash and counters serve as a counterpoint, adding depth and a tactile quality that softens the deep palette.
The owner wanted a focal point in the living area, but the designer has instead strategically placed it in the corridor for greater visibility from the entrance. “Rather than a typical feature wall, opting for a plant arrangement from Soilboy brings freshness and a dynamic energy that makes the home feel more inviting,” says Jine.
Fluted glass doors and glass block walls brighten the corridor and allow more natural light to filter in, enhancing the garden-like feel and nourishing the plant. A stucco-effect finish on the walls of the dining area and corridor introduces depth and texture, adding a tactile richness to the space.
As the homeowner works remotely, the room nearest to the living area has been transformed into
a functional study. Designed for flexibility, it also doubles as a guest room, providing a comfortable space for family members who occasionally stay over.
Since she lives alone, the designer combined the master suite with the adjacent room, and transformed the latter into a spacious walk-in closet. The sleeping area remains understated, with a cohesive colour palette that seamlessly blends with the rest of the apartment, ensuring a harmonious and visually fluid design.
