Upon entering the home, you're greeted by a monochromatic backdrop that allows the carefully curated furniture and decor to steal the show. The centerpiece of the living area is an exquisite antique bed that doubles as a cozy reading nook, instantly drawing your eye and sparking conversation. Complementing this unique focal point is a sleek, curved sofa that maximizes space while maintaining an airy, modern oriental interior.

Moving towards the dining area, you'll notice the kitchen has been strategically relocated to create a more expansive space for entertaining. The reflective black flooring adds depth and a sense of grandeur, while Geoffrey Law Design has masterfully contrasted these contemporary finishes with wooden antique furniture and intricate carvings. At the heart of the dining room stands an ornamental tree that can be decorated to celebrate various cultural festivals, infusing the space with a playful, festive spirit.

The bedroom is a true haven of tranquility, where open, connected spaces and strategically placed plants promote a sense of harmony and free-flowing energy. Wooden screens serve as both a headboard and a decorative feature, adding warmth and texture to the bright, airy space. A customized planter by the designer offers a serene view of greenery, fostering a connection with nature from the comfort of your bed.

Mosaic bathroom
Even the bathroom exudes a sense of modernity and oriental elegance. Glass mosaic tiles and laminated glass panels create a translucent quality, while cleverly concealing the utilitarian elements of the space. A water feature and fish tank add a touch of serenity, representing cleansing and purging negative energies.

Moulding with auspicious knot motifs was added to counter the “suppressive” nature of the beams.
Feng shui focused design
Throughout the home, auspicious knot motifs and thoughtful design elements pay homage to feng shui principles, ensuring a harmonious and balanced living environment. This modern oriental HDB flat is a true masterpiece, seamlessly blending contemporary aesthetics with deep-rooted cultural traditions.
