Boutique hotel home

Residential House

Imperfect is always the perfect.

An old concept; “Boutique theme hotel” reflected many sophisticated identity. Rebellious yet impressive. The owners of this house encapsulate the essence of this metaphorical and refurnished it into a radical home space. This space has gradually opened up into a modern retro-industrial experience and the intriguing component with many of the sub-urban context has been carefully reinterpreted. For instance, ventilation block and concrete pattern was introduced and redefined to ponder the preservation of an old-building. With these fine details, every room visually exhibited an interconnection through a melodious experience. Thus this opportunity indeed reveals the cosiness and excitement to every visitor that step into the house. Of course, white colour is still the primitive, so as to traumatise the modernism balanced.

White homogeneous tiles, white gloss epoxy floor, and white laminate finishes were introduced to interconnect a modern balanced and openness effect. Some mosaic had also appeared in the bathroom, to give a cheeky extension.

The permutation of the home space was to transform the unwanted spaces into a monastic simplicity in a dramatic technique that invites all visitors. The instant appearance encircles a same style but different concept statement which strongly converts the echoes to a series of collectable space. However, there are certain practical and spiritual aspects to be capped by the owners, perhaps in a way, it did not tarnish the look and yet compliment a conversation between the nature and the sub-urban. The materials embraced with imperfection indirectly restored the beauty of historical elements. At first, it appears as a rich tactility but actually it enhanced a curiosity of functional accommodation.

Location and Timeframe: 8 Weeks, Singapore

To create a simple lifestyle that is filled with a precise manipulation of the rugged experiment; certainly reflects the conversation between nature and primitive building.
