Inside A Serene Sanctuary In The City With A Wing Chun Workout Space

In this week’s Living In episode, we take a look at a spacious 5-room HDB flat located in the heart of Singapore’s CBD: Pinnacle@Duxton. The homeowner’s brief required that the home met their living, working and entertainment needs.

The challenge was accepted by Leena, their Interior Designer, who meticulously worked in each section of the home and ensured the layout ultimately met their needs. Starting at the entryway, you’ll find a deliberately contrasting and compressed entrance that creates a more dramatic effect from the beginning as it then opens up into a spacious living room that boasts panoramic views of the city skyline.

The living room also features a ledge designed to be a tranquil space which contrasts with the view of the city that never sleeps. This deliberate juxtaposition can be blocked off by the carefully selected Rice Paper material motorised blinds which also complement the tranquil look of the place.

Next to the living room is the multi-functional corner of the home. While it is the smallest part of the home, it’s where the homeowner spends most of his time as the space was designed for him to meditate, read and practice his martial arts.

Moving on, we have the kitchen and dining which are combined into a bigger space with the custom-designed dining table taking centrestage. The U-shaped kitchen features plenty of storage space and was deliberately designed with a darker palette to give it a strong contrast with the lighter living area.

The final highlight of the home is the Onsen bath inside the master bathroom. The Onsen area was cleverly contrasted using dark grey tiles against the light oak panel which not only serves to segregate the space but also complements the Onsen look and feel.
