Orchard Apartment

A 78 m² apartment on an upper floor of a residential tower in Orchard, Singapore. A covered balcony and large black windows open every room onto the skyscrapers, which light up at sunset.

Despite its compact size, it plays on continuity: large-format, polished, veined taupe marble on the living room floor and on the bathroom walls, dark walnut in panels and slats for the kitchen, the bedroom wall and the furniture, and ribbons of indirect light that accentuate the volumes. The open living area brings together a beige corner sofa, a bouclé armchair, a dining table and the kitchen island in patterned marble.

Olive green, picked up in the cushions and throw, is the only colour accent; matt black outlines the taps, the frames and the side tables.
