Prestige Global Designs crafts a welcoming home in Singapore that has a cosy and carefree resort atmosphere
The sun, sandy stretches, blue skies, and the sound and sights of the sea— these elements comprise the perfect ingredients for a relaxing setting for a beach getaway. To have cadences of these in a home would certainly add to its soothing environment. For one multigenerational family living together in Singapore, their resort-inspired abode evokes these details and more, as expertly crafted by Michael Ong and Jeremy Tay of Prestige Global Designs.
The residence is a 4,500 sq ft property located within a landed cluster-house development in Singapore’s exclusive and lush Bukit Timah neighbourhood. The family of five got to know the work of the homegrown design firm through positive word of mouth, and were impressed enough by their portfolio to enlist the studio to craft a cosy, warm and timeless interior for them.

While the spacious property already had many positive qualities, the designers did feel that some rooms could be improved, with ample storage incorporated throughout the house. Areas of improvement include the kitchen, which was opened up to become more welcoming. The Singaporean owners also wanted to have a musical zone centred around the piano, and an entertainment room where they could watch a movie or appreciate their favourite tunes. As the floor plan was already quite ideal, the family wanted to minimise changes to the spatial layout.
“The design theme is modern resort—we drew inspiration from the home’s luscious green surroundings. We wanted to create an interior that is soothing yet elegant, with a touch of character,” says Tay. The firm employed primarily warm earthy tones, with pops of colour on accent pieces such as the dining chairs. House plants also help to bring elements of nature indoors, adding to the relaxed, resort-inspired atmosphere.
