SUMMERHAUS D'ZIGN addressed a couple’s desire for an unconventional home with daring features and its angular design.
LOCATED WITHIN A CONDOMINIUM AT KEPPEL BAY, this abode is one of those rare apartments where, literally, you see a different perspective each time you enter. It was indeed the owners’ desire for an unconventional home that sparked a series of novel ideas by Summerhaus D'zign.
“The owners wanted something unconventional and ultramodern. They’ve seen many houses which feature the standard rectangular cove lighting, and they wanted something different for their home,” Larry Lim, co-founder of Summerhaus, vividly recalls. The designers were enlisted to achieve a creative balance between novelty and retaining the home’s understated and luxurious atmosphere.
Spatial Definition
The final result is a dramatic angular design, where no walls within this 3,000 sq ft, four-bedroom apartment are angled at 90 degrees. The home’s visual appeal is apparent once you enter from either of its two entrances. At one entrance, you’re greeted by a gold-clad suspended mirror cabinet, while at the second entrance, visitors are entranced by a sculptural bar.
