This terrace house in Singapore has five levels for family, flow and function

Materials were carefully selected to evoke warmth and understated elegance, with subtle design touches unifying the interior spaces.

For example, as the homeowners did not want to design the living room “in an elaborative way”, Tay suggested using statement tiles instead. Leafy Hafary tiles are used in the living room, resembling a watercolour painting. Complementing the feature wall are butterfly pendant lights. The butterfly motifs and leaf-patterned tiles continue into the bar area, providing a cohesive design throughout the space.

The carpentry was fully customised, from the sleek kitchen cabinetry to the wardrobes. “The homeowners allowed us to design everything,” Tay remarks.
