“Architectu­rally, the Singapore fabric has been changing so much and now interiors are playing a bigger role as well,” says designer Peter Tay, who has worked on units in many of the city’s top projects, as well as showf lats for upcoming developmen­ts such as Guoco Midtown, a 200-unit tower in Beach Road.

Tay says he wants his interiors to “have a Singapore identity” that mirrors the distinctiv­e architectu­re of the buildings in which they are housed. That means tailoring his approach to each individual space, working to frame exterior views and “creating a language and an identity” based on the architectu­re. In the case of Nouvel 18 (on the left), he made ample use of ref lective materials to mirror the building’s glass facade.
