The beauty of this apartment is the abundance of living areas, with the right touch of contrasting hues to make a bold statement which the owner loves. Accent colors in blue and green in the living room create a striking visual effect with a modern look. While restructuring the interior layout, the design adopts “simplicity in lines” as the basic principle to accentuate the minimalistic look amid the splash of color. Furniture and adornments are tactfully selected to strike a balance between the color-driven yet minimalistic design. The blue / white designer combination sofa adds character and personality to the entire space. The blue sliding door separating the living room and the bedrooms becomes a predominant feature wall. The green chairs create just the right extent of visual stimulation at the dining corner. Quirky as it may seem, the custom-made carpet with the intricacies of the interwoven color patterns, is one-of-a-kind and sure to capture a lot of attention. Capitalizing on the expansive sea view, broad sliding doors are applied to the balcony, to bring the outdoors in, hence, enhancing the airiness of the apartment. Right by the entrance of the dazzling blue door, there sits a perfect man cave. A designer AV room which creates a special sanctuary for the owner to indulge in his private world of entertainment. Inspired by artistic 3D installation, all sound absorbers and acoustic diffusers are aesthetically embedded to appear stylish yet functional. The four gigantic diffusers overhanging on the ceiling are brilliantly transformed into a spectacular ceiling light, another bold statement, masculine and cool. Black sound absorber panels on the wall surface create a gallery-like art-piece display. Additional sound absorbers in blue are embedded in the wall cabinet to enhance the visual impact and complement the blue LED lighting. The guest bathroom design symbolizes a resort-like haven with intricate beauty. A sought-after exotic and adventurous sensation that the owner desires. Italian-made Bisazza tiles with custom-design patterns create a magical surface and flooring like no other. In contrast with the bold use of colors, the bedroom and en-suite bathroom come with a lighter affair. To create a comfortable and cozy master bedroom, the décor within is soft and gentle, making bedtime even more appealing. The en-suite bathroom, furnished with a palette of earth tone colors, creates a soothing oasis to unwind after a long day work. Right between the master bedroom and the en-suite bedroom, there stands an open dressing table and a walk-in closet. The exotic chandelier in this passageway between the bedroom and the bathroom creates a spark of visual excitement in this more relaxing ambience. This apartment is an exemplification of unconventional designs that are set out to bring endless surprises to a normal home environment.

Our client desired to turn her primary suite into a perfect oasis. This space bathroom retreat is small but is layered in details. The starting point for the bathroom was her love for the colored MTI tub. The bath is far from ordinary in this exquisite home; it is a spa sanctuary. An especially stunning feature is the design of the tile throughout this wet room bathtub/shower combo.
