Notion of W · Seletar Hills, Singapore
Landed properties often hold the promise of dreams taking flight. Such was the case with the revamped Nim Collection abode in the exclusive Seletar Hills landed enclave, an enchanting sanctuary that dances between the modern and the classic, artfully brought to life by the talented duo at Notion of W, Wein & Grace.
A realm of intergenerational stories and dreams, this home was envisioned as a sanctuary for a family spanning three generations, along with four helpers. Bound by a budget of SGD400K and six months including A&A works, the project’s palette mainly sang in hues of white and wood, exuding warmth, clarity, and coziness. In the details, a riot of color and patterns breaks through, paying homage to the family’s rich Peranakan lineage.
Three distinct generations, three different design languages. While the daughter’s family leaned towards the minimalism of light wood, the owner hankered for something richer, more steeped in tradition. Common spaces became melting pots of style, celebrating differences while retaining harmony.
The living area draws you in with its plush sofa and elegant marble coffee table. And as you wander into the kitchen, the heart of the home beats strongest here. An exquisite melange of color, patterned tiles, and raw bricks echoes the rich traditions of a Peranakan kitchen, amplified by well-placed pendant lighting over the kitchen island.
Every nook and cranny whispers tales of thoughtfulness and design mastery. Wainscoting along the dressing room walls adds depth, while the owner’s bedroom awakens senses with a richer palette of mocha and grey. As Wein & Grace fondly recall, despite the opulence of space, it’s the kitchen that resonates with the most laughter, making it the family’s favorite room.
