Barker Residence

Contemporary Residential House Design by Gary Ong

Bright and refreshing was the clients' main request for the house. The basement houses the private car park and hence would be the "common" entrance for the family. A book-match marble effect laminate with medieval charm was selected as the wall cladding to hide the household shelter and bathroom with a welcome home feel. Light color palettes were chosen for the living hall with a bold grey velvet paint effect for the client's collection of paintings.

A private house of 4 storeys with a basement, the Barker Residence, designed by Gary Ong, stands out with its contemporary and refreshing aesthetic. Spanning a total area of 2600 sqft, this residential house was created for a couple and their son, who desired a bright and modern home.

The basement of the Barker Residence serves as the private car park and acts as the "common" entrance for the family. To create a welcoming atmosphere, the designer chose a book-match marble effect laminate with medieval charm as the wall cladding, effectively concealing the household shelter and bathroom. This design choice adds a touch of elegance and warmth to the space.

In the living hall, light color palettes were carefully selected to enhance the bright and refreshing ambiance of the house. To add a bold statement, a grey velvet paint effect was applied to showcase the client's collection of paintings. This unique feature adds depth and character to the living space, creating a visually stunning focal point.

The Barker Residence is a testament to Gary Ong's exceptional design skills and attention to detail. The combination of contemporary elements, such as the light color palettes and bold accents, creates a harmonious and inviting atmosphere throughout the house.

Located in Singapore, the Barker Residence is a true reflection of modern living. With its unique design features and attention to detail, it offers a refreshing and sophisticated lifestyle for its residents.

The Barker Residence was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in 2019 in the category of Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design. This prestigious award recognizes well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. The Barker Residence stands out for its integration of industry best practices and competent technical characteristics, providing fulfillment and positive feelings to its occupants and contributing to a better world.
