A strict thematic consistency greets any visitor to this minimalist-inspired abode. Decked from floor to ceiling in monochromatic shades, the living room exudes a strict modern minimalist style. A carefully designed television console hides the various audio-visual equipment out of view while seamlessly integrating speakers and a slim wall mounted plasma TV. Diffuse lights reflecting from the ceiling not only adds to the ambience but also reduces the harsh glare of direct lights. The artistic fan which hangs above the geometrically inspired coffee table adds a finishing touch to the elegance of the living space.

THEMATIC MINIMALISM Clean cut, modern interpretation of living space with thematic consistency in this minimalist-inspired abode.

No effort is spared to ensure that the dining area is as polished and stylish as the living room. Stainless steel cased lights throw a myriad of patterns onto the walls, decorating it in a way no wallpaper or design can. Funky chairs molded from transparent tinted material with a silver substructure which accompany the similarly designed table. Even the floor plays a role in the overall feel of the dining room as the careful interplay of black strips with the white tiles contribute to the ambience of the area.

IDEAS WE LOVE. LIGHTS The use of contrasting lights to separate the dining and kitchen area and the wonderful play of the dining room lights and its effects on the walls.   IDEAS WE LOVE. SPACE PLANNING Clever layout of the kitchen and dining with a clear glass walled counter giving a new dimension of space.

Separating the dining room from the kitchen is a clear glass column cut into the separator wall to give a further illusion of space. However, with a clear blue light in the kitchen contrasting with the warm lights in the dining room, there is a clean yet subtle delineation of space. Inside the kitchen, easy to clean stainless steel appliances and glass cupboards add to the functionality and simplicity of design.

One is immediately reminded of a resort bedroom upon entering the elegantly cozy bedroom. The intimate lighting, scattered placement of candles together with the charming blend of fabric and wooden accents adds a sense of calm and warmth to the room. The wall panel behind the wooden headboard deftly reflects the light, giving a sense of movement and flow in the room. The adjoining bathroom is separated from the bedroom by a frosted glass door with sleek chrome-finished handles. The grey matt floor tiles help increase friction to prevent accidental slippage and also provides a nice counterpoint to the olive green tiles while a standard shower screen separates the shower area from the rest of the bathroom, preventing water from splashing out when showering.

IDEAS WE LOVE. FINISHING TOUCHES Silver finishing running along the length of the cupboards blend smoothly into the main bedroom's horizontal silver lines. The featured wall and laminate flooring draws warmth and comfort into the main bedroom area.

The deliberate placement of mirrors along the walls facing the wardrobe help increase the sense of space and also serves a more utilitarian purpose of allowing the owners a last min glance before leaving the room. Where the placement of mirrors would not be wise, highly reflective surfaces like on the doors of the wardrobe also help give the illusion of space. Silver finishings running along the length of the cupboards blend smoothly into the main bedroom’s horizontal silver lines. A velvet upholstered chair sits quietly at the corner at the makeup table, adding the finishing touches to the wardrobe area.
