MADBITAT
Upon stepping into the unit, one is welcomed by a statement piece from the couple’s beloved Be@rbrick figurine collection. These figurines have been interwoven into the design of the space, injecting the unit with whimsy and personality amidst a sleek and minimalistic vibe.
The living room is divided into three different areas: an intimate living area that is accentuated with a slatted wood wall; a dining area; and a bar, with the latter two serving as cosy social spaces for the couple and their friends.
At the dining area, the dark green dining chairs add a pop of colour during the day but morph into a classy black at night as the light changes.
The grey and neutral wood tones used in the kitchen create a cosy cave for the couple to whip up gastronomical delights for their guests.
Natural light spilling in through the windows in the day gives the kitchen a fresh and cheery atmosphere, while the built-in lighting used in the evenings adds a dramatic allure to the space as night falls.
Similar tones are used in the study room where the atmosphere of the room changes from playful in the day, as the grey and neutral wood tones are first illuminated by natural light, to warm and cosy at night as the in-built lighting provides a backlit effect to the workspace.
The more personal spaces such as the master bedroom and study room are subtly demarcated by sliding black-framed glass doors that lead into a walk-in wardrobe.
Previously the balcony, this part of the unit has been converted into a walk-in wardrobe with the inclusion of cabinets hidden behind black tinted glass, and a suspended accessories drawer juxtaposed against full-length windows.
The use of dark and neutral wood tones for the master bedroom invokes different feelings of intimacy and cosiness as the room is viewed from different angles.
Similarly, the play on dark and neutral tones with the use of black, grey and beige tiles alongside white features, in the unit’s two bathrooms enhances their sleekness with an air of mystery.
The deft interplay of light and dark, neutral tones and colour accents, as well as textures transform this unit from an apartment into a “madbitat” for our creative souls.
