This double-level penthouse in Joo Chiat flips the typical Singaporean apartment layout on its head. While bedrooms are placed on the lower floor, the living and dining areas open up to the terrace above—an arrangement that works perfectly for the client’s lifestyle.

The terrace, styled with dark wood flooring and lush greenery, evokes the relaxed atmosphere of a Balinese resort. Inside, the client’s favourite colour—green—became a central theme. Green tiles accent the kitchen and bar counter, and are repeated in the bathroom for visual continuity. The study, painted in a deep green and paired with warm walnut carpentry and soft accent lighting, forms a calming sanctuary. So inviting is this space that the client’s daughter spends most of her time there while her mother works from home.
