This Modern Victorian landed home at Lorong J Telok Kurau reflects Zenith Arc’s expertise in designing elegant yet highly livable landed properties in Singapore’s East Coast.
By blending classical architectural language with modern planning and warm, tactile materials, this home achieves what many landed renovations struggle with:
grandeur without heaviness, elegance without excess, and beauty without compromising daily comfort.
Rather than replicating traditional Victorian opulence, this project reinterprets the style through clean proportions, controlled contrast, and thoughtful material layering.
The design was guided by three core considerations specific to Singapore landed homes:
Maintaining openness and airflow in a large-volume space
Introducing classical detailing without visual heaviness
Creating a timeless aesthetic that remains practical and easy to maintain
Classic Architecture: Wall panelling, mouldings, and arched openings that add structure and rhythm
Modern Planning: Open-concept layouts anchored by a monochrome black-and-white palette
Material Warmth: Rattan, leather, marble, and herringbone wood flooring to soften the formality
The result is a home that feels architecturally grounded yet emotionally warm.
The living area is anchored by a fireplace feature wall, designed to introduce Victorian character while remaining contemporary and understated.
Matte black fireplace surround as a strong visual anchor
Vertical wall panelling for architectural depth
Plush sectional sofa and mixed-material accent chairs for comfort and texture
Gold wall sconces and sheer curtains that soften natural daylight
This careful balance of structure and softness ensures the space feels inviting rather than formal.
At the centre of the home stands a sculptural curved staircase, serving as both a circulation core and an architectural statement.
Polished white marble treads that reflect light and elevate the space
Black metal railings that create contrast and visual rhythm
Large arched windows that echo the staircase’s geometry and flood the interior with daylight
Adjacent to the staircase, the dining area continues the Modern Victorian narrative:
Black dining table and chairs for visual grounding
Woven rattan seating that introduces organic warmth
Pampas grass centrepiece that softens the monochrome palette
Together, these elements create a dining environment that feels refined yet relaxed.
Designed for a modern landed lifestyle, the kitchen balances luxurious finishes with functional zoning.
Deep navy blue shaker-style cabinetry accented with gold handles
White marble countertops and a dramatic slab backsplash with expressive veining
Warm herringbone wood flooring to balance the cool stone surfaces
The open layout allows seamless movement between kitchen, dining, and living areas, making it ideal for both family use and entertaining.
The master suite is designed as a calm, structured retreat.
Black leather headboard as a bold focal element
Full-height glass-panelled wardrobes with gold hardware
Dedicated vanity zone framed by a vertical slat feature wall
Dark wood flooring that grounds the space
The children’s room introduces a lighter, more playful interpretation of the Modern Victorian style.
Whimsical wallpaper and personalised artwork
Soft pastel accents balanced with structured cabinetry
Flexible layout designed to adapt as the child grows
The bathrooms are designed to feel indulgent yet timeless.
Full-height marble wall and floor finishes for material continuity
Navy vanity cabinets paired with gold hardware
Arched mirrors and warm ambient lighting for a soft, spa-like atmosphere
These spaces demonstrate how luxury can be both expressive and functional.
The study is designed for focus, clarity, and visual calm.
Bespoke arched glass cabinets with integrated lighting
Curated shelving for display and storage
Clean-lined desk setup balanced with warm materials
This space shows how architectural detailing can extend into functional rooms without feeling ornamental.
