A Contemporary Joo Chiat Penthouse With Warm Wood Accents And A Vertical Garden

By penthouse standards, this 1,500 sq ft (139 sqm) duplex off Joo Chiat might be considered small, so the owner’s interior design consultants, Distinctidentity, sought to maximise its space.

They proposed an innovative solution to the couple’s storage problems in the living room – a feature wall that stores shoes and also displays ornaments.

Vertical Garden

The spacious balcony that leads out from the living area is dominated by a huge vertical garden and a planter box of greenery.

Balcony

The balcony’s relaxed vibe is enhanced by a glass roof above the long dining table, lit by huge candles set on the corners of the floor decking made from recycled palm wood.

Study Room

In the study, the designers customised a unique bookshelf with staggered shelving heights to display their book collection.

Walk-In Wardrobe

The household shelter was converted into a stylish walk-in closet for the wife’s shoes, bags and miniature perfume bottles.

Master Bedroom

In the master bedroom, the original wall with a window (which couldn’t be opened) has been replaced with glass folding doors to bring more light into the bedroom and give the couple the feeling of openness they so love.

Exotic Fish Tank

The husband shows off his collection of exotic fish in a massive tank in the open terrace on the second floor.
