Every working adult eventually yearns for an escape from the norms of everyday. A little something that breaks away from the monotony, that injects colour into life.
Most do so by stepping onto a plane, satisfying their wanderlust in the meantime, while others, like the owners of this BTO, create their own getaway within this tiny red dot in a space they call their own.
Raw and earthy with a touch of practicality, this top-floor apartment is lightly inspired by luxurious Bali villas and resorts with high ceilings — in part due to the unit being on the top floor — making it look as spacious as can be. Its neutral colour palette of white, beige, light grey, and brown adds to the serenity of the space, allowing the owners to shed off their stress and worries for the day whenever they set foot in their home. Soft, white bay windows set the mood for the day as filtered light shines in on sunny days and reflects off various surfaces, further brightening the room.
Echoing the style of modern villas, the floor plan of the apartment is as open as can be, with different coloured and textured floor tiles demarcating each area of the home, from the foyer to the private bedrooms. A marble counter stretches from the foyer into the kitchen like a regal, white peninsula wrapped around the wall that splits the two rooms.
This resort-like home seeks only to distract from the mundane reality and bring relief to both its owners and guests alike through the fantasy of travel and relaxation in one of the world’s top vacation destinations.
