Perched high up overlooking the iconic Marina Bay, this stunning 4-bedroom condo at Marina Bay Residences is home to an expatriate couple who have artfully blended contemporary design with their multicultural influences. Conceptualized in collaboration with Double S Furniture Renovation Contractor, the result is a stylish and welcoming abode that perfectly suits their cosmopolitan lifestyle.
The expat couple desired built-in feature wall panels and cabinets that could be easily dismantled should they need to relocate in the future. These customized built-ins, along with decorative touches like upholstery and wallpaper, amounted to around $50,000. The rest of the decor comprises the owners' existing furniture collection and treasured art and artefacts from around the world.

The open-concept living and dining areas make the most of the spectacular views over Marina Bay. European furniture pieces like the sleek Ligne Roset sofa from France and Calligaris dining set from Italy are paired with striking contemporary Chinese artworks, lending the space a distinctly cosmopolitan vibe.
