Modern, Industrial, Contemporary
2020
This interior design project at 159 Simei Road showcases how modern industrial design can be both bold and livable. Designed as a multi-functional urban sanctuary, the home balances high-energy social spaces with calm private retreats—perfect for modern Singapore living.
The core concept was to merge industrial materiality with contemporary comfort. A restrained palette of charcoal greys, matte blacks, and warm wood accents establishes a sophisticated base, while strategic lighting and glass partitions keep the home open, bright, and breathable.
Every design decision was guided by:
Spatial clarity and flow
Practical daily usability
Visual openness in a compact footprint
Timeless materials that age well
The heart of the home is a centrally located entertainment hub, anchored by a professional-grade pool table that defines the social function of the space.
Zoned layout:
Spectator seating lined against the wall to maintain clear circulation
Integrated bar counter for hosting and casual dining
Architectural lighting:
Geometric recessed ceiling lights create rhythm, while a sculptural pendant above the pool table adds gallery-like focus.
Visual connectivity:
Black-framed glass windows link the bar and kitchen zones, creating transparency without sacrificing definition.
This layout allows multiple activities to coexist—hosting, relaxing, and playing—without visual clutter.
The kitchen at 159 Simei Rd is designed for both performance and aesthetics, balancing strong industrial elements with everyday functionality.
Dual-zone planning:
Cooking and washing on one side, bar counter and appliances on the other
Material balance:
Matte dark wood cabinetry paired with light large-format floor tiles to prevent the space from feeling heavy
Black-framed folding glass doors:
Allow enclosure when cooking, while preserving the open-concept feel when folded away
Layered lighting:
Under-cabinet, track, and ceiling lights ensure clarity for every task
The private zone of the home transitions into a calm, contemporary retreat.
Custom elevated platform bed with integrated steps and hidden storage to maximise space
Backlit headboard panel for warm, atmospheric lighting
Neutral palette of greys and wood tones to encourage rest
Minimal visual noise, ensuring the bedroom remains a sanctuary
Storage is treated as a design feature rather than an afterthought.
Sliding glass wardrobe doors keep the space visually light
Internal LED lighting transforms storage into a boutique-style display
Compact workspace integrates seamlessly beside the wardrobe for modern work-from-home needs
This approach increases both functionality and the perception of space.
The bathroom adopts a monolithic industrial aesthetic with a hotel-inspired finish.
Floor-to-ceiling dark grey tiles for seamless visual flow
Warm wood vanity to soften the industrial palette
Sculptural black vessel sink with wall-mounted tap
Glass shower partition to maintain openness and depth
This home demonstrates how industrial interiors can feel warm, practical, and timeless when executed with restraint.
Transparency: Glass partitions ensure natural light reaches deep into the home
Texture layering: Wood, metal, glass, and matte finishes create depth and warmth
Smart utility: Every element—from kitchen partitions to bed platforms—serves both function and form
