Located directly above Potong Pasir MRT, Sennett Residence is a prime choice for families seeking central convenience. The homeowners of this 3-bedroom unit approached Zenith Arc with a specific vision: a home that felt unmistakably premium but remained a warm, functional environment for their two sons.
The challenge? Delivering a high-end, full-home transformation within a disciplined five-week construction window without compromising on material quality or craftsmanship.
The living and dining areas were designed as a cohesive, open-plan volume to maximise the sense of space common in Singapore condominiums.
A multi-tiered crystal cascade chandelier serves as the anchor for the dining zone. To house this piece, we designed a recessed tray (coffered) ceiling. This architectural detail not only provides height but also conceals warm-white LED cove lighting, which creates a soft, ambient glow perfect for evening hosting.
In the living area, the focal point is a full-height book-matched marble slab with Calacatta-style veining. The natural symmetry of the stone provides an organic yet structured luxury. We complemented this with:
Dark Walnut Veneer Carpentry: Creates a continuous horizontal line from the entrance to the balcony.
Illuminated Glass Displays: Backlit shelving to showcase the family’s crystal collection.
Mirrored Panelling: Strategic use of mirrors on the dining wall to visually double the floor area.
Condo foyers in Singapore are often narrow and dim. At Sennett Residence, we turned this transition space into a “graceful arrival sequence.”
Reflective Fluting: The full-height shoe cabinet features mirrored doors with vertical fluting. This texture catches light from different angles, making the corridor feel significantly wider.
Integrated Functionality: The unit includes a recessed bench for wearing shoes and a lit display niche, blending utility with high-end aesthetics.

For the two sons, we maintained a consistent architectural language but varied the palettes:
Vibrant Palette: A red, white, and blue colour-blocked theme for a high-energy feel.
Calm Palette: Sage green and dusty blue tones to encourage a focused study environment. Both rooms feature white quartz desk surfaces for durability and custom platform beds to maximise storage.
For homeowners planning their own modern luxury renovation, here is the material palette used for this project:
| Category | Material / Finish |
|---|---|
| Feature Walls | Book-matched Calacatta-style Marble |
| Carpentry | Dark Walnut Veneer & High-Gloss Black Laminate |
| Cabinetry | Mirrored Glass with Vertical Reflective Fluting |
| Flooring (Living) | Polished Homogeneous Marble-look Porcelain Tiles |
| Flooring (Bedrooms) | Engineered Timber Planks |
| Worktops | Stain-resistant White Quartz |
Typically, a full renovation takes 8 to 12 weeks. However, through disciplined project management and early procurement of long-lead items (like marble and chandeliers), Zenith Arc completed this Sennett Residence project in just 5 weeks.
Costs vary based on the extent of bespoke carpentry and stone selection. A “Modern Luxury” style involves premium materials like marble and veneers. Contact us for a transparent, itemised quotation tailored to your floor plan.
Book-matching involves mirroring two marble slabs so they “open like a book.” This creates a symmetrical, high-impact pattern that serves as a natural work of art, significantly increasing the property’s aesthetic value.
