This couple gave Selina Tay of Collective Designs the freedom to design and plan the spaces in their three-bedroom condominium penthouse in Kovan.
A varied palette gives this abode dynamism. A contrast between white and darker hues gives definition to the living and dining areas.
Granite kitchen countertop
A beautiful blue granite slab from Turkey for the dry kitchen countertop is a highlight of the social space.
Granite kitchen countertops offer durability, timeless aesthetic appeal, resistance to heat and scratches, ease of maintenance, and increased property value in one statement.
Powder room
In the powder room, the design team matched patterned wallcoverings with gold fittings, marble walls and Volakas hexagonal mosaic floor tiles.
A powder room typically refers to a small, half-bathroom containing a toilet and sink, designed for guest use and convenience, while a bathroom typically includes a toilet, sink, and bathing facilities, providing a more comprehensive space for personal hygiene routines and bathing.
Powder rooms are often situated near the main living areas, emphasizing functionality, while bathrooms may be more strategically located for accessibility and may serve as private spaces for daily self-care.
Storage cabinets
Hidden behind the veneered surface here are storage cabinets. Placing one of the children’s artworks here is a fun touch.
Custom bookshelf
To cater to the children’s needs, a custom built bookshelf doubles as a partition to shield the communal study corner from distractions.
Bathroom
The marble grain contrasts with the shimmering mosaic tiles for a clean look in this bathroom.
Mosaic tiles are popular in bathrooms due to their versatility, aesthetic appeal, and ability to create intricate patterns, offering a stylish and customizable option for both floor and wall surfaces.
Home garden
An air well allows more light to flow in. Previously bare, it has been transformed into a little garden, a tranquil spot of nature within the home.
Laundry area
Neat and organised, the laundry area comprises cabinetry by Mudian, a large sink with undercounter storage, a wet wash area, stacked washer and dryer, and Caesarstone countertops.
This home has become a bright and breezy apartment thanks to clever space planning and an astute use of colour and form.
