READERS’ CHOICE: BEST SHOW UNIT

KI RESIDENCES BY 2ND EDITION

The show units at the luxurious Ki Residences incorporate a strong Japanese aesthetic, which imbues them with an undeniable elegance and a sense of calm that gels with the development’s tranquil, verdant setting. Local studio 2nd Edition, led by founder Hilary Loh (pictured on opposite page), worked on these units as well as the sales gallery, centring its creative concept on ki, a multifaceted Japanese word that represents energy, atmosphere, the mind, spirit, and feelings.

The design experience begins at the immersive sales gallery, before continuing on to the show units as an extension of the visual and sensorial journey. An earthy palette, light wood furnishings and dark-stained wood panels, as well as elements inspired by Japan’s tea and sake drinking culture, are worked into the interiors. The resulting spaces wear their Japanese inspiration proudly on their proverbial sleeve, augmented by touches that create a sophisticated ambience.

“A visual journey that evokes feelings of tranquillity; there is elegance and subtle sensitivity in the execution”
