As the couple are book lovers, they needed a sizeable display space for their book collection. Arche Interior incorporated a floor-to-ceiling bookcase with a classic rolling library ladder.

Parts of the bookshelf double up as display niches for mementos and knick-knacks.

Also on the couple’s wishlist was a bay window settee for reading.

To keep the space visually interesting without adding unnecessary clutter, Arche Interior used pale grey to create a half-wall in the living room. The rest of the palette was kept in woody, earthy tones. Pops of colour were added in the form of accessories like cushions, which can be easily swapped out.

Creating a minimalist space ensures that statement pieces like the HAKAMA dining table stand out.

As the couple also enjoys cooking, a fully-functional kitchen was a must. It includes a domino stove, automated kitchen faucet, dishwasher, oven and wine-chiller – all well-concealed so as to maintain the minimalist interior. To add character, Arche Interior put in details like these Italian patterned tiles from Rice and Fields as a backsplash.

The walk-in wardrobe features classic wainscoting, paired with brass door knobs from Lava Vella that stand out against the grey. Above, a family of Bola Disc pendant lights makes a stylish statement.
