BEST USE OF COLOUR

WY-TO

This stylish two-storey apartment features a lively colour scheme inspired by the owner’s love of retro pop tunes. French architect Yann Follain (pictured on the right) used the client’s playlist as a starting point to grace the 1,937 sq ft home with bright hues and vibrant accent pieces.

Seemingly disparate elements such as a yellow concrete kitchen counter and teal-hued cabinetry coexist in harmony in light-filled spaces, with the overall setting inf luenced by the oeuvre of American designers Charles and Ray Eames, as well as Dutch painter Piet Mondrian’s colourblocked works. Walls were torn down to create an “endless perception of space”, which also serves to improve crossventilation throughout the home. The abode doesn’t just look chic; practical storage reduces visual clutter and conceals appliances when they are not in use.

“The bold use of colour throughout the home creates a modern ambience”
