Stepping into the home of Night Owl Cinematics’ co-founder Ryan Tan feels like setting foot in a tropical resort, thanks to the wooden accents and botanicals that dominate the space.

The two-storey penthouse, situated near Seletar, was conceptualised by both Ryan himself and The Designer Inn, which he selected after meeting with a total of eleven designers.

Since he was very hands-on with the design and renovation process, Ryan decided to get the master bedroom finished first, and moved in so that he could oversee the rest of the works. He knew exactly what he wanted, thanks to having an architect father and plenty of references from both Pinterest and Home & Decor.

The entire renovation was finished in a month, which was quite a feat considering the amount of work and coordination that had to be done.

The result was worth the hard work, though, with its earthy feel and smart home capabilities. Here are five interesting facts about Ryan’s new home.
