Inside An Art Filled Home in Bukit Timah

The art-filled home features a flair for blends and contrast made prominent in the open plan first floor. The living room furnishings have taut modernist lines – slim upholstered sofa surround a clear glass coffee table, warm dark timber wall backdrop fronting the television unit – but the look is tempered by a warm palette of charcoal, tobacco and a brassy shot of sunny yellow at the stairwell. Meanwhile the formal dining area is simply furnished with a gracious eight-seater glass dining table flanked to match a spectacular ceiling height with the void area encased within framed glass panels.

Perhaps the tour de force of the art-filled home is the landscaping surrounding its perimeters. From the front of the house, a manicured lawn is peppered with luscious palms and foliage. While many might have used this as a garage, the design team had the area clad with limestone flooring and rustic roofing so that it exists as an extension to the adjacent kitchen and also serves as an informal outdoor dining space.

In fact, throughout the side of the art-filled home, similar roofing structure merges the indoors and the outdoors seamlessly. Since the owners find the sound of moving water so relaxing, water features are built in and around the house from the point of entry at the front door to the living area and the rooftop patio. To maximize the dead spaces at the side of the house, vertical gardens are installed, which certainly contributes to the tropical resort feel and maintain a discreet level of privacy from the neighbours.
