Contemporary Naturalism @ Upper Boon Keng

A home that feels like coming back to a place you’ve always known.

Ever had that nostalgic feeling when visiting your parents’ home? The little knick-knacks that bring back memories of your childhood, or simply the feeling of being in a place that feels familiar and comforting? When our clients came to us to design their home, they wanted a space that could host their family and welcome their children back home, no matter how much time had passed. To recreate this homely feeling, we went with a contemporary approach, paired with raw and earthy elements.

A living room with a white couch and a black and brown dog sitting on it. There is a large plant in a white pot next to the couch, and framed artwork hanging on the wall. The room has wooden accents, a dining table with white chairs, and a mirrored wall. An air conditioning unit is mounted on the wall.
A wooden hall tree with a woven cane door and a built-in wardrobe, with a large antique grandfather clock beside it, and a green plant to the left.
Living room with a large flat-screen TV mounted on the wall, two wall-mounted light fixtures with spherical bulbs, a wooden console with a remote and a vase with flowers, a round ottoman, a sliding glass door with curtains, and a beige sofa.

The walls are painted with limewash, creating a soft and slightly rustic look. This is complemented by natural textures, such as the woven rattan doors of the shoe cabinet and TV console, as well as the wood grain of the laminate used for the coffee table and TV console. The homeowners also had a grandfather clock that they wanted to incorporate into the home, giving the space a more personal touch. By the dining table, we added a full-height mirror to visually expand the space. Throughout the home, artworks and puzzles that the family had completed together in the past are displayed.
