932 Designs

Corals Residence

It is quite common for homes located near the sea to have water-inspired themes. This project by Singapore-based 932 Designs is a subtler alternative that offers timeless appeal. The duplex apartment in the Daniel Libeskind-designed Corals at Keppel Bay already had a good structure: a six-metre-high living and dining space fronts a panoramic sea view and the verdant island of Sentosa beyond, edged by utility spaces and five bedrooms. A staircase leads up to a family room and open terrace.

As a holiday home for the client, the space needed to encourage relaxation. To achieve this, 932 Designs conceived thoughtful spatial adjustments and features: for instance, the orientation of the bed in the master bedroom was changed to face the sea rather than a neighbour’s unit; pocket sliding doors in the second-storey family room minimise disturbances from activity on the lower floor, and vice versa whenever necessary.

‘The main objective was to keep the spaces airy and breathable,’ says Low. Beige, white, dark chocolate and charcoal tones in the furnishings, fittings and surfaces provide a visually comfortable foil for modern furniture from brands like Walter Knoll and Flexform. 

Practicality and aesthetic delight meld seamlessly throughout. ‘We used more timber and fabric rather than metal, which would oxidise over time being so near the sea,’ explains Low. Curves — commonly used in nautical design — are found in elements like the half-rounded, solid oak strips wrapping the dry kitchen counter sides and master bedroom headboard, as well as in furniture forms.

As Low describes, 932 Designs is a collective ‘driven by an admiration for delicately complex craftsmanship behind what usually seems deceptively simple.’ This apartment clearly reflects this ethos, expressed in every element from the large gestures to the smallest detail.
