SkeTchwork Design & Style · Sims Residences, Singapore
Nestled amidst the heart of Singapore’s bustling District 14 lies an abode that echoes both elegance and innovation, a serene 1,980 sqft retreat at Sims Residences. Helmed by the visionary Sulini Tjoeng of SkeTchwork Design & Style, in collaboration with Woodates Carpentry, this project mirrors an artful blend of the homeowner’s desires and contemporary design aesthetics.
A property agent with a keen eye for design, one of the owners sought a transformation for this 20-year-old condo, enchanted by the potential concealed within its high 6m ceilings. With four months for design and renovation, walls were strategically dismantled, spaces expanded, and every nook tailored to resonate with the owner’s preference for a bright and white palette.
The visual continuum extends to the dining area, a deliberate choice, showcasing full-height joinery with concealed cabinets. These spaces narrate the tale of a family moving from a landed property to a condo, underpinned by the need for expansive storage without compromising aesthetics.
The kitchen is a testament to Sulini’s design approach. Dividing the area into ‘dry’ and ‘wet’ sections, pocket doors facilitate free flow between them. Tiles bearing a marble-esque semblance were chosen not just for budgetary considerations, but for their innate ability to elevate the space.
Within the thoughtful layout lies a room initially conceptualized for one of the daughters but intended to transition seamlessly to accommodate grandma’s needs. The door is designed to be frameless, ensuring it can be opened as widely as needed for unobstructed wheelchair access. The attached bathroom was also carefully designed to be as wheelchair-friendly as possible.
The master bedroom stands as a testament to the union of two distinct personalities—the female owner’s penchant for serene, light-infused spaces and the male owner’s affinity for intricate patterns. The room proudly features a curvaceous bedhead adorned with a V-joint wallpaper panel, adding rich texture while ensuring privacy for him during moments of repose.
Each corner, every choice, echoes Sulini’s commitment to design and unwavering passion for creativity. Her fervor for her craft is palpable in every design decision. At the core of SkeTchwork Design & Style is a simple yet profound ethos: to listen and to understand.
