BEST USE OF ART

ARCHITOLOGY INTERIORS

Designed by Architology Interiors, a local firm co-founded by directors Terrence Quah and Bu Shukun (pictured on opposite page), this 3,671 sq ft home celebrates the impact that art can bring to an interior; it was envisioned as a giant canvas for its owners’ collection of Chinese contemporary art.

The four-bedroom home is divided into two distinct zones: the main f loor, comprising the living and dining areas, is the abode’s social centre while the upper f loor houses the master suite for the couple. The apartment also pulls off a duality in palette with aplomb: the living area was done up in darker tones, offset by sunlight entering from the balcony, while the dining zone, located further inside the home, features a lighter palette. Dynamic artworks by Chinese artists pepper the home, hand-picked and installed where they would make the most visual impact.

“The art and the interior are complementary to each other, yet are beautiful in their own right”

“The happy, sophisticated use of colour has resulted in a home befitting the personality of its owner”
