House at Serangoon Garden Road
Landed, Singapore
3,466 sq ft
The Brief
When the owners acquired this landed property in Ardmore Park, they had a vision: the spaces felt compartmentalized and dated.
The challenge was creating a unified aesthetic across multiple zones. It wasn't about decoration—it was about building a home that felt intentional and refined across every detail.
Our Thinking
A landed property gives you architectural flexibility that condos don't have. We started by asking: How do materials tell a story across different zones?
This meant thinking about how marble and wood could work together. Every material choice was made with longevity in mind—not trends, but finishes that develop character over years.
Living + Dining
This is the primary gathering space, and where the design philosophy becomes most visible.
The Space
Proportions were carefully considered to balance openness with intimacy.
Material Strategy
The flooring shifts between warmer wood tones in the dining area, creating subtle zoning while maintaining visual continuity. The choice to contrast light and dark woods reflects a design philosophy: materials should have presence, not apology.
Seating & Proportion
Furniture scale was chosen to respect the room's proportions.
Art & Accent
Brass or copper accents provide warmth throughout. These elements aren't decoration—they're intentional details that reflect the design's sophistication.
Lighting Strategy
Evening lighting emphasizes warm tones through brass/copper fixtures.
Kitchen
Flooring Transition
The marble island countertop is a dramatic statement—veining that draws the eye. Brass fixtures provide warmth against cool stone surfaces.
These choices will develop over time—marble will show use gracefully, brass will warm with patina, wood will deepen.
