Houzz Tour: Curves Add Some Playfulness to a Monochromatic Condo
A black-and-white scheme sets the stage for this family-of-four's personal effects
To maximise the apartment’s 1,050 square feet, Loh converted the service toilet into a laundry so that the kitchen could be expanded into the service yard. A dry kitchen doubles as a standing bar – and this is the first thing that greets the owners as they walk through the foyer.
The sweeping curve of the bar bottom is subtle and only noticeable through the high contrast of dark grey and white. It echoes the curves of the TV wall in the living area. “We wanted to do away with sharp corners”, Loh says of the curved details which appear on most of custom-built features. “The living room cabinet serves multiple purposes: to house the TV console, to camouflage the air-con, to store toys in a pull-out tray as well as to display items”.

The kitchen is separated from the dry kitchen by a sliding door to keep cooking odours away from the open-plan living and dining. Here, Loh created additional storage by building kitchen cabinets and open shelving angled outwards from the walls.
The master bedroom’s wardrobe features the same curved cornering seen in the living room.
Both bathrooms were reconfigured so that they would provide ease of movement and appear more spacious.
The monochromatic scheme in the master bathroom is warmed up with wood-look tiles and stone wall tiles.

This space is shared by the two brothers and include playful but not childish details like the geometric ceiling-hung towel rack and shower tiling pattern.

Who lives here: A family of four
Location: Jurong West
Type of property: Three-bedroom condo unit
Size: 1,050 square feet
Project duration: 2 months
Designer: Sam Loh of SS + D
The age range in this family unit is wide: parents are in their 50s, older son is in his early 20s and younger son is five. They also share a range of design tastes as well. Designer Sam Loh of SS + D proposed a monochromatic scheme “as it matches well with the furniture and accessories that the owners have.”
The owners also requested for a clean-lined design as they wanted the apartment to look spacious and be easy to maintain says the designer.
