In a world where attention span is short, expectations high and communication instant, it is sometimes understandable to crave for some sense of serenity so that one may catch a breath and enjoy the present.

Basking you in an aura of calm is this abode at Sky@11 with its clean lines and monochromatic colour scheme. Unimax Creative’s design for this apartment is tightly-woven throughout using black and white as dominant hues and muted tones otherwise. Linear patterns are used throughout all the furnishings to give the apartment a simplicity that contributes to the modern look.

The apartment has the fortune of having several full-length windows as entire walls, which allows for natural lighting to make the place bright and spacious.

At the living area, an eye-catching display shelf with diagonally slanted compartments breaks the otherwise rigid pattern of horizontal and vertical lines. Adjacent to it is an upholstered bench where the owners get to laze on to enjoy the greenery below.

Furnishings are neat and pristine at the kitchen. A long made-to-measure dining table sits regally, reflected by a mirrored wall that gives the kitchen an illusion of greater breadth. The cabinet embody the streamline look like the rest of the furnishings and is unobtrusive in its cream shade. The high-gloss lacquer finish gives it the contemporary touch.

The mood turns a little more sensual in the master bedroom with the lush black carpet on the parquet floor and a see-through glass wall to the marble-tiled bathroom. The bathtub lies against the full-length windows for the owners to enjoy a relaxing soak while admiring the expansive view. Black-out curtains in black effectively block out the light and provide privacy when slumber beckons.

A king-sized bed lies against velvety boards adding texture to the sleek apartment while creating a sensual ambience. Adding to the lavishness is a fully-cushioned seating area flushed against the wall for some well-deserved rest and relaxation.

   

The black and white theme runs through to the other bedrooms. A study area meant for two is custom-made and flushed against a window to cleverly utilise natural lighting. The same look is carried through to the next bedroom where a study loft bed is tailor-made for the young master of the house.

Unimax Creative has boldly gone where few have feared to tread with the generous use of black in this apartment even in unusual areas such as the carpeting and walls. This has given the apartment its unique flavour, conjuring up modernity and a sense of mysterious sensuality - proving that bold choices of colours can indeed make a difference.
