A discerning approach to colour and materials allowed for a stylish and clean pared-down look in this three-bedroom condominium apartment in West Coast.
The eye-catching wood-look feature wall masks the odd folds of the home, and conceals power points, as well as light and curtain pelmets.
As a beauty aesthetician whose work revolves around symmetry and perfection, it’s unsurprising that homeowner Dr Tsu Boon Hsiung finds the odd corners and folds of his apartment an eyesore. However, instead of tearing it all down, the Studio Wills + Architects team capitalised on this “difficult” layout and transformed the space into an elegant bachelor pad. Here’s what they did, for a total renovation cost of $150,000.
“We like to build on interesting features. For instance, the faceted walls from the living room to the bedroom were cladded in wood-look laminates in a herringbone pattern, creating a unified look and flow throughout the home,” says designer William Ng.
Black minimalist accessories were chosen for Boon Hsiung’s home, like this Munkii Wang wire chair and Lambert & Fils Luna floor lamp.
A dark wall allows the details and colours of the dining area to pop. The Dot Suspension lamp is from Lambert & Fils, and the DWSR side chairs are by Herman Miller.
Not being able to find a sideboard with the look and dimensions required, Studio Wills customised this Mid-Century Modern-inspired teak piece for Boon Hsiung.
The laminates were carefully arranged in a herringbone pattern according to size and grain, to create a geometric yet natural look.
The customised walk-in wardrobe features a light- oak laminate, frosted glass, and soft lighting.
Each accessory is spaced out evenly, with not a thing out of place!
The homeowner’s request for a platform bed was achieved by removing an odd-shaped bay window. Now, Boon Hsiung has the luxury of space and a stunning view of West Coast Park. The bed features a subtle geometric design to match the herringbone feature wall.
