Sol Luminaire has steadily transformed into a design destination along Guillemard Road, with its flagship showroom at unit 395 and the experimental The Lab2.1 concept at 399. Earlier this month, the brand completed its trilogy by opening 397—the once-elusive middle unit—finally bridging its dual identities with a space that negotiates between immersive materiality and spatial clarity. To mark the opening, Sol Luminaire partnered with Tatler Homes Singapore to host a panel discussion that explored how lighting animates interiors. Moderated by Tatler Homes Singapore editor Asih Jenie, the event brought together spatial designers Rei Ye of Typeface, Leong Hon Kit and Si Jian Xin of Wynk Collaborative, and Sol Luminaire’s own Edmund Ho, who offered insights from the ground up. MATERIAL AND MOOD What emerged from the panel discussion was a…

In mid-June, Hafary House came alive as Singapore’s design community gathered at the showroom to recognise the next generation of spatial designers. The evening began with a welcome speech by Tatler Homes Singapore editor Asih Jenie, who introduced a new category for the Tatler Homes Design Awards 2025 event: Spatial Design Studios On The Rise. BUDDING TALENTS This category is dedicated to honouring emerging spatial design studios, including architects, interior designers and other built-environment practitioners that have been established for less than 10 years. The three winners were announced at the prestigious Tatler Homes Design Awards 2025 gala on 1 July. Also welcoming the guests to Hafary House were Hafary Group director Eric Low and Zucchetti general manager Liz Yang, who flew down from Hong Kong for the occasion to…

“Seamless connections between all that is internal, external, and interstitial” — HOSSEIN REZAI Global design director at Ramboll Occupying a corner plot in an Upper Bukit Timah estate, this three-level home by RT+Q Architects strikes a distinctive silhouette in the neighbourhood with its barn-like roofline and modernist facade. Its design language—from a bold moon gate and generous verandah to the calibrated balance between indoor and outdoor spaces, and a refined approach to passive cooling—reflects a deep understanding of tropical architecture at its most elegant, yet is tempered by playful, exploratory elements such as a monsoon window on the floor of the upper-level study. At the core of the home lies a negative space: an open-air courtyard formed by the composition of three stacked C-shaped blocks. “The planning of the house…

“...a new that is greater than the sum of its parts” — MELVIN TAN Founding partner of Laud Architects Ultimately revealing itself as the designer’s dream home, this corner terrace house in Singapore’s heritage-rich Katong neighbourhood wasn’t in ideal condition when Kelly Kawahara Cheah, founder of K2SD Group, first stumbled upon it. With a land size of 4,000 sq ft and generously built-up interiors below a pitched roof, the abode appeared aged, with spaces that were oddly compartmentalised. Yet from the moment she stepped inside, Cheah saw immense potential—envisioning the transformation that could breathe fresh air into the property. Known for her ability to imagine design beyond the surface, she recognised the hidden beauty in the house that others may overlook. Cheah’s objective was to retain and restore the character…

Located in the leafy enclave of Taman Serasi, this ground-floor apartment in the 1970s-era Botanic Gardens Mansion immediately appealed to a young couple seeking more space for their child and pet poodle. Surrounded by nature and just steps from the Singapore Botanic Gardens, the home offers a tranquil setting that encourages a laid-back yet active lifestyle. The owners discovered Joey Khu Interior Design through social media and personal recommendations, and engaged designer Jerry Tan to bring their vision to life. Tan was given creative freedom to reimagine the interiors, with just one mandate: to create a purposeful, enduring space with refined furnishings and ambient lighting. Over three and a half months, the home was redefined as a minimalist sanctuary—subtle, calm, and enduring. “Minimalism best celebrated by expressing the naturalistic qualities…

“The combination harmonises well in the double-height space, giving an understated sense of luxury” — NAOKO TAKENOUCHI Co-Founder of Takenouchi Webb Perched on the 56th floor, with panoramic views of Sentosa and the city skyline, this penthouse is both a sanctuary for family life and an entertainer’s dream. Spanning 1,668 sq ft, it captures the cinematic beauty of its surroundings through rich materials, warm tones and a refined sense of flow. The four-bedroom residence features high ceilings and an open-plan layout, with living and dining areas inspired by Sentosa’s golden sunsets. An ombré wallcovering and sculptural pendant lights echo the shifting sky and stars, while a palette of natural materials, bespoke furnishings and nature-inspired accents adds texture and intimacy. “The combination of dark timber cladding, white walls and soft graduated…

When it comes to sustainability, Swiss luxury kitchen appliances brand V-ZUG continues to lead by doing. From achieving carbon neutrality in 2020 to designing products with longevity, energy efficiency and circularity in mind, the brand lives its ethos, choosing to act first and speak later. This same quiet conviction shapes V-ZUG’s long-standing partnership with Tatler Homes Singapore, where it supports a dedicated Sustainability Champions category at the Tatler Homes Design Awards to highlight and recognise the architects and designers whose work embodies a meaningful approach to sustainability. This year, the collaboration took on renewed significance with the Sustainability Champion: Best Conservation category, which celebrates the thoughtful interventions that preserve the built environment while reviving the spirit of place. The two awarded projects, Bukit Timah Railway Station by Kay Ngee Tan…

Japanese architect and 2024 Pritzker Prize laureate Riken Yamamoto was the star keynote speaker at this year’s Singapore Archifest Conference, the professional three-day programme of Archifest, the country’s month-long architecture festival organised by the Singapore Institute of Architects. This year’s edition, helmed by festival director Rene Tan and his team at RT+Q Architects under the theme “Don’t (Just) Think Like an Architect!”, encouraged the industry to embrace architecture as a cultural connector, a civic catalyst, and a force for new ways of thinking. Born in 1945 in Beijing at the tail end of the Japanese empire, Yamamoto’s five-decade career has consistently embodied architecture as a civic act. From his own home—nicknamed “Gazebo” for its minimal use of solid walls and deliberate openness to the broader community—to award-winning, large-scale projects across…

Copenhagen’s 3daysofdesign has evolved from a small-scale initiative in 2013 into Scandinavia’s leading design festival, establishing the Danish capital as a significant centre for contemporary design discourse. The 2025 edition, organised around the theme “Keep it real”, emphasised authenticity, sustainability and inclusivity—principles that reflect broader industry priorities as designers respond to environmental concerns and social responsibility. The festival’s structure across eight Design Districts, encompassing nearly 470 exhibitions, demonstrated the event’s maturation into a comprehensive platform for design exploration. This geographic and curatorial expansion reflects a fundamental shift in how design is presented and consumed: no longer confined to individual objects or isolated spaces, contemporary design practice is increasingly considering broader systems as well as contexts. The trends emerging from this year’s festival illustrated this evolution. They revealed an industry negotiating…

With a land area of 9,000 sq ft and a built-up footprint of 7,000 sq ft, this two-storey detached home on Merryn Road had ample room on paper, yet an inconvenient layout belied its size. Previous addition and alteration works had left the interiors feeling fragmented and difficult to navigate, particularly for the owners’ elderly parents. To reconfigure the home, the owners appointed Terrence Quah, co-founder of Architology Interiors, to lead the renovation. Working with ACO Architects, Quah sought to restore clarity to the spatial flow while fulfilling a precise brief: to create a sense of openness, establish seamless entertaining zones, frame a grand entrance, and improve accessibility across the board. “This meant considering the possibility that the parents may not be able to climb the steps to enter the…

The year 2025 marks Tatler Homes Singapore’s 20th anniversary, encapsulated by the forward-looking Vision 20/25 theme of this year’s Tatler Homes Design Awards. To kick off the event programme, we partnered with Roche Bobois to launch the Visionaries series, a conversation platform with design trailblazers. The first visionary: Ministry of Design’s Colin Seah. The event took place at the Roche Bobois showroom in Marina Square, an apt setting for a discussion on creative leadership and originality. As Wilson Tang, brand owner of Roche Bobois Singapore and Hong Kong, said in his welcome speech: “We are not just furniture designers, we are furniture editors. We listen to how people live, and translate that into design.” CREATIVE BRAVERY Seah opened by reflecting on the essence of branding in design practice: not as…

The annual Tatler Homes Design Awards event has become a prestigious benchmark for excellence in Singapore’s luxury residential landscape since its launch in 2017. Each year, the showcase shines a spotlight on the nation’s most innovative luxury residential projects. The winners are carefully selected and voted on by a jury panel comprising leading professionals, academics and luminaries from across the industry. THE NEXT ERA OF DESIGN For the Singapore edition of the Tatler Homes Design Awards 2025, 15 esteemed jury members have been selected. They are as follows: the founder of Bensley Bill Bensley, design director of Park + Associates Christina Thean, professor at the Singapore University of Technology and Design Erwin Viray, director of partners at DesignSingapore Council Eugene Chin, global design director at Ramboll Hossein Rezai, founder of…

“As a maximalist, I just love the sumptuous details” — BILL BENSLEY Founder of Bensley Peter Tay’s latest masterpiece is a home that transcends function to become a sanctuary for the senses. Commissioned by a celebrated food entrepreneur and his family of six, the interiors of this Good Class Bungalow were meticulously crafted over two and a half years to complement the new-built architectural shell by Aktarchitects and exterior lighting by Light Collab. The result is a residence that merges art, architecture and functionality with seamless grace. Tay distilled the client’s design brief into a single concept: that of modern luxury. This principle informed every element of the home, balancing contemporary elegance with opulence. Drawing inspiration from the abode’s outdoor spaces, he created an interior design scheme that blurs the…

“The spatial narrative speaks of the unique and individual collections...” — NUR HIDAYAH ABU BAKAR Dean of the Faculty of Design at Lasalle College of the Arts Previously settled in a black-and-white house with their son—now grown up and living independently—Krystina Lyon and Mark Budden have made a new home in a freehold apartment built in 1978. With a smaller footprint than their former residence, the apartment couldn’t house their full collection of furnishings. Still, they found space for their most cherished pieces, including vintage 1950s furniture and their art collection. Though they often joke that there’s no room left for new additions, their joy at discovering and integrating new works remains undiminished. “I like how the many different pieces of art are curated and well put together. It’s not…

“Filled with a masterful interplay of layers and textures” — HOWARD WEE Founder of 7 Interior Architecture Conceptualised by Superfat Designs, this show unit within Antonio Citterio’s luxurious 3 Orchard By-The-Park development embodies refined comfort and natural elegance. With just 77 units across three towers, the project’s exclusivity is matched by a design philosophy that champions simplicity, material richness and a seamless flow—principles that echo Citterio’s architectural vision. Inspired by nature, the interiors are rendered in a palette of muted tones and tactile finishes. Thoughtful choices—such as a continuous feature wall connecting the balcony and living area, and iconic pieces such as the Cassina Utrecht armchair—anchor the space. The master suite takes a cue from spas, while layered tapestries, curated lighting and artworks enhance the overall mood. “The show unit…

We know more about our health than any generation before us. We track our steps. Monitor our sleep. There are gyms on every corner, yoga studios in every neighbourhood, and supplements spilling out of kitchen drawers. Wellness is everywhere. And yet, real well-being feels harder than ever to find. Asthma. Anxiety. Autoimmune disease. Alzheimer’s. And that’s just the As. Despite our best efforts, chronic illness is rising—and affecting people at younger ages. We’ve changed our diets, upgraded our workouts, and prioritised sleep. But what if the problem isn’t just in us—it’s around us? We now know that we spend more than 90 per cent of our lives indoors. That means our homes, workplaces and schools are among the most powerful forces shaping our health. And yet, they’re rarely part of…

With high ceilings and panoramic views from its enviable position on the 35th floor, this penthouse instantly caught the eye of its newest owner, who envisioned herself hosting family gatherings on the breezy rooftop terrace. The interiors were dated, but the previous owner had spent little time at home, leaving it in relatively good condition. With concrete requirements in mind, the lady of the house engaged Summerhaus D’zign to turn the aged penthouse into a modern home, giving the team a short timeline of just two months to pull off the transformation. FAMILY FIRST Crucial to the renovation was the incorporation of three key areas: the aforementioned rooftop terrace for outdoor entertainment, a guest room for the owner’s daughter and family to feel at home on visits from Australia, and…

Tucked away in Singapore’s District 4, this semi-detached house stands discreet yet commanding. With a refreshed design by Tan Yue Wei, founder and principal architect of YWA Studio, the 7,283 sq ft residence departed from its former classical identity to re-emerge with a refined, contemporary spirit. This project involved a full reconstruction of the property, overseen from start to finish by Tan’s multidisciplinary team, which undertook the architectural and structural works as well as the interior design for the home. The brief was clear: to ensure privacy from passers-by on the street, embrace a modern design sensibility, and feature a layout that would lend itself to generous entertaining and long-term liveability. The original pitched roof and many parts of the existing structure were removed, opening the interior to air, light…

For Pan Yi Cheng, a dedication to architecture blossomed early on; now the principal architect of Type0 Architecture, he knew he had an affinity for the field as early as his secondary school years. He tells us he considered architecture “the highest form of art” in his youth, “one you could live within”. Nowadays, he thinks of architecture as “a way to piece together an alternate form of reality”, working with his team of designers to shape and refine the spaces around him. With each project, the firm begins by “recalibrating architectural typologies, resetting to their essential, deep structures, and discovering a renewed sense of purpose and meaning”, the architect shares. This also defines his idea of good design, seen by Pan as the authentic expression of real value that…

In late May, Tatler Homes Singapore and V-ZUG came together for an intimate panel discussion at the Swiss brand’s showroom at Ion Orchard. Titled Reimagining Heritage: Building Sustainably for the Future, the event convened architects, creatives and changemakers for a conversation on the evolving definition of sustainability in design—rooted in history, sensitive to place, and oriented towards the future. Moderated by Tatler Homes Singapore editor Asih Jenie, the panel comprised Tan Kay Ngee of Kay Ngee Tan Architects, Goy Zhenru from Goy Architects, Christina Thean of Park + Associates, and Marcel Niederberger, head of sustainability at V-ZUG. Each offered unique perspectives on how heritage and innovation can enrich each other. Jenie opened the evening by expressing appreciation for the partnership between Tatler Homes Singapore and V-ZUG, grounded in shared values…

Modern luxury is defined not by excess, but by clarity and coherence. With Skyla, Villeroy & Boch brings a sculptural sense of order to the bathroom, blending tactile materiality and thoughtful design details. Designed to complement both contemporary and classic interiors, the collection offers homeowners an elegant new canvas for personalised living. SCULPTED SERENITY At the heart of the Skyla collection is a blend of crisp lines and gentle curves. Its signature washbasin balances rectangular geometry with soft contours that feel intuitively organic. The asymmetrical layout is cleverly designed to double as a built-in ledge, offering handy space for everyday essentials. The result is a tranquil, graphic silhouette that suits a wide range of interiors, from Nordic minimalism to soft pastel tones. Supporting this refined shape are vanity units with…

The annual Tatler Homes Design Awards – Singapore returned for its ninth edition on 1 July at Parkroyal Collection Marina Bay’s Garden Ballroom. Themed Vision 20/25 and marking 20 years of Tatler Homes Singapore, the gala honoured the past two decades while looking ahead to the future of interiors and architecture in Singapore.

“...intimacy and luxury, punctuated by moments of spatial drama” — LEONG HON KIT Co-founder and design director at Wynk Collaborative Oasis in the Sky is an apt name for this penthouse, designed by Studio If. Like a private villa atop a resort, it offers a tranquil retreat from the city’s bustle—perched on the upper levels of a luxury condominium in the heart of Orchard Road, with sweeping views of the Singapore skyline. Commissioned by overseas homeowners seeking a refined residence in Singapore, this is one of several units Studio If was tasked to furnish. In this penthouse, the studio crafted a sequence of richly detailed, elegantly scaled spaces that evoke both intimacy and grandeur. “Studio If breaks down the scale of the super penthouse into a series of thoughtfully conceived…

Inspired by Chinese calligraphy and the transience of lunar phases abstracted from a Song dynasty poem, Goy Architects brings poetic restraint and quiet elegance to this apartment. Soft hues, artisanal textures and refined detailing come together in a space that feels both grounded and ethereal. Loose furniture pieces play a defining role in the open-plan layout, artfully delineating zones for lounging, dining and entertaining. A majestic circular window—reminiscent of a traditional moon gate—anchors the entrance, framed by translucent paper panels that gently diffuse light in the home. Throughout, Goy Architects elevates the interiors with a delicate balance of contemporary expression and cultural references. “The design for the house is a modern and quietly confident take on Asian influences, with a material palette and lines that elegantly suggest motifs inspired by…

“Colours... provoke emotion and establish a dialogue with the homeowner’s art collection” — PAOLO DE SIMONE Creative director at Wimberly Interiors Catalan artist Joan Miró is celebrated for his vivid colours and whimsical, freeform compositions. Though often associated with abstraction and surrealism, Miró resisted categorisation, asserting that he simply sought to give form to the subconscious. This spirit of spontaneity and dreamlike energy inspired PI Architects’ approach to the interior of this apartment. The 40-year-old property embodies the capacious proportions of 1980s condominium living. The design team orchestrated a richly expressive yet cohesive setting for the homeowners’ treasured art collection—treating each artwork not as an afterthought, but as an integral part of the interior architecture. “The designers employed colour as a tool for storytelling, drawing inspiration from the subconscious playfulness…

“Sets a new standard for showrooms by offering an immersive, design-led experience” — EUGENE CHIN Director of partners at DesignSingapore Council “...well-balanced interior design and product branding” — MIKE LIM Director of DP Design Nestled among a row of heritage shophouses in Singapore’s richly layered Jalan Besar district, Hafary House redefines the showroom experience. Designed by local practice Farm, it offers a tactile, immersive journey through curated collections of surface materials, set across multiple levels in a dynamic, design-led environment.

Tucked away on the sixth floor of Delfi Orchard, Tang Contemporary Art Singapore may appear discreet, yet its curatorial ambition is anything but. As the Southeast Asian arm of a gallery network spanning Beijing, Seoul and Bangkok, it is fast establishing itself as a conduit for cross-cultural dialogue, connecting regional art scenes with the wider world. Its latest exhibition, Universe’s universe, marks the first solo presentation in Singapore by Korean artist Woo Kukwon. On display from 26 July to 30 August 2025, the show reflects the gallery’s growing exchange between its Seoul and Singapore outposts, led by directors Yonni Park and Sue Oh. Together, they shape a thoughtful programme grounded in regional engagement and transborder artistic dialogues. INSTINCT AS METHOD The show’s title is no metaphor. At the heart of…

With the Eiffel Tower framed in its windows, this restored Belle Époque apartment bridges two worlds: the historical elegance of Paris, and the relaxed sophistication of coastal California. This 2,056 sq ft residence, named La Vue Parisienne, embodies the vision of Callender Howorth, which transformed a neglected space into a personalised sanctuary for its American owners. GRAND PLANS When the Francophile couple from Ojai, California acquired the apartment, it had been stripped of its original charm—only the panoramic vistas remained. “What drew us to the project was not only the location—with views of the Eiffel Tower—but the opportunity to bring this Belle Époque space back to life with a bespoke approach,” said Mark Howorth, founder of Callender Howorth, the London-based firm commissioned to manage the transformation. The renovation was comprehensive,…

Award-winning architectural firm Park + Associates has built several noteworthy properties that embrace their tropical location while pushing the boundaries of conventional house design in Singapore. When it was founder and principal Lim Koon Park’s turn to design his own dwelling, these boundaries were pushed even further—he used 3D printing to construct it, in collaboration with local 3D concrete specialist CES_Innovfab. Located in Bukit Timah, the four-storey house spans approximately 6,130 sq ft and incorporates seven bedrooms. At its heart is a dramatic six-metre-high oculus that anchors the interiors and filters light into the core of the home. It is home to Lim, his wife, three daughters who are studying abroad, and a son who is also an architect. “I have always been intrigued by technologies being applied in construction,…
