The Tate Residences
Designed for a European couple who divide their time between Singapore and Europe, this home was envisioned as a refined yet comfortable base for the family whenever they are in Singapore.
With a teenage daughter and a live-in helper, the home needed to accommodate everyday family life, working from home and entertaining guests, while still reflecting the homeowners’ appreciation for design and the sense of space they were accustomed to in Europe.
We introduced a modern Victorian-inspired language through detailed ceiling cornices, wall mouldings and carefully considered architectural elements, balanced with contemporary furniture and expressive splashes of colour throughout the home.
The study is one of the most versatile spaces in the apartment. Designed to double as a guest room, it accommodates two movable work desks for the couple to work side by side comfortably. When guests stay over, the desks can be stored within the full-height cabinetry, and the concealed fold-down bed can be opened, transforming the room from a home office into a welcoming bedroom.
Even the printer is tucked neatly within the cabinetry, allowing the workspace to disappear when it is no longer needed.
A room designed not for just one purpose, but around the different ways a home is lived in.
