Simplicity Apartment

An Interior Design by Don Lin

Don Lin's Simplicity Apartment is a testament to the transformative power of technology in the world of interior design. With its transparent form, panoramic views, and rich color strategy, this apartment embraces simplicity and openness, creating a space that is both visually stunning and highly functional.

The layout of the apartment is distinctive, with the living, dining, study, and master bedroom openly subdivided yet presented as a core space. This unique arrangement allows for a flexible and fluid circulation, creating a cohesive and homely environment for the homeowner.

One of the challenges faced during the design process was striking a balance between privacy and natural light openness. To overcome this, glass panels were used as dividers, providing a sense of separation while still allowing for visual connectivity and penetration of light.

The use of technology is evident throughout the apartment. A constant craft-like timber finish dominates the space, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Grey vinyl flooring punctuates the walkway, neutralizing the brightness and adding a touch of sophistication.

Don Lin's Simplicity Apartment is not only visually stunning but also highly functional. The space is designed to be a retreat from the outside world, with uncluttered rooms that extend a sense of calm and tranquility. Sizable mirrors adorn the walls, playing with the magnifying effect and adding a touch of narrative to the space.

The project, which started in December 2017 and was completed in January 2018, is located in Singapore. Its unique design and attention to detail have earned it the prestigious Iron A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design category in 2018. This award recognizes the apartment's well-designed, practical, and innovative nature, as well as its ability to meet professional and industrial requirements.

Don Lin's Simplicity Apartment is a true testament to the power of simplicity, openness, and technology in creating a harmonious and visually stunning living space.
