Three-storey Bungalow Interior Design in Bukit Timah
Soothing sounds of water greets the visitor upon entry
This three-storey house, perched on a hill in Bukit Timah, is tailored to the demands of entertaining, art collecting and raising a precocious toddler. The owners brief to the Interior Designer was to create a modern tropical-esque home and sanctuary. The house’s interior tone and artistic aspirations are evident from the moment you enter. The soothing sound of moving water, soft warm lightings and cool limestone tiles will instantly transport you to a dream modern tropical resort getaway.
A warm and inviting ambiance created by blending textures and contrasts
The owners wanted a massive internal overhaul to define their new home and satisfy their contemporary design tastes but still retain the traditional modern tropical architecture of the house.
The living room furniture have taut modern lines – a 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.

The home owner’s collection of art pieces decorates this home and adds a personal touch to the whole design element. The cheery yellow wall facing the stairwell enhances the modern tropical resort theme further.
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.

Another big attraction in this house is the tropical landscaping surrounding its perimeters. From the front of the house, a manicured lawn is peppered with luscious palms and foliage. This modern tropical space was further enhanced by the use of 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.

Throughout the side of the house, similar roofing structure merges the indoors and the outdoors seamlessly. 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.

Dead spaces at the side of the house were utilized by installing vertical gardens which contributes to the lush tropical resort feel and also helps to maintain a discreet level of privacy with the neighbors.

The bedrooms and private family areas are located on the second level of the house. A room on the third floor is converted into an office and library.
