The client is a private person who also wanted a gallery-like space for entertaining and housing her retro-modern furniture and her art work collection. The aim is to achieve an open space that can be modern, yet cozy, simple and elegant. Basic materials such as wood and stone are the key themes. The floors are deliberately uneven, and cement-like, yet there are walls clad in creamy crocodile-look wallpaper. The appearance is neat, seamless, and effortless, belying the fact much consideration went into each detail, especially the extensive concealed storage spaces.

The client is finance professional, with keen interest in art and music. As such, she is open to exploration of new ideas and materials, but at the same time she has a clear idea of what she wants. Before commencing work, we communicated regularly so as to be on the same page.
