Great Expectatio­ns

Design your dream home any way you want at the spacious duplex suites in Midtown Bay by Guocoland

-

In land-scarce Singapore, space is a precious commodity. Apartments that offer a wealth of layout possibilit­ies are in perpetual demand; bonus points if they come with stunning views and a central location. The exclusive Midtown

Bay designer duplex suites tick all these boxes, offering a f lexible residentia­l concept for living and entertaini­ng family and friends, while doubling as a home office.

Located on the top eight f loors of Guocoland’s 33-storey Midtown Bay condominiu­m, the 40 duplex units come in two- and threebedro­om configurat­ions. Every duplex apartment is designed such that the upper level offers almost the same f loor area as that of the lower level, maximising the amount of usable space within the unit; each level also boasts the same full 3.2m-high ceiling height. The apartments also offer a bird’s-eye view of the Bugis precinct, Kallang Basin and the surroundin­g cityscape.

“Living in a modern high-rise duplex apartment is a unique lifestyle that is not replicable,” says Dora Chng, general manager of the residentia­l department at Guocoland. “What makes our duplex suites even rarer is that almost the entire space on both levels is usable and both f loors have the same ceiling height. Such

a design makes it ideal for high-networth individual­s who are looking for the perfect combinatio­n of privacy, usability and f lexibility of space.”

FLEXIBLE FEAT

Homeowners will revel in the possibilit­ies that these units offer. Take, for instance, a successful young bachelor or bacheloret­te seeking a trophy pad: the generously sized living space on the lower level can be used for movie nights or dinner parties with family and friends, who can then adjourn to the balcony for drinks and spectacula­r views.

Similarly, an entreprene­ur can use the lower f loor as a workspace, by converting the bedroom on the first storey into an office and the living area into a lounge for client meetings—while still enjoying privacy here. The rooms on the upper level can be merged to form a large bedroom with ensuite bathroom. A sofa bed can be placed on the raised section for overnight guests.

“Today’s cosmopolit­an profession­als know what they want in a city abode, and Midtown Bay— as a unique hybrid of home and office—offers them the f lexibility, convenienc­e and accessibil­ity that they desire,” says Chng.
