With apartments getting more compact over time, we believe it is increasingly important to utilise clever spatial planning.
Our client came to us with a brief to design a modern contemporary theme for this studio apartment. He wanted the small space to feel spacious and bright.
We used American Oak veneer as the main element of the apartment’s joinery, creating the modern and contemporary theme the client desired.
Black and grey hues were subtly interjected throughout the apartment to create a sense of depth and masculinity.
The bedroom features a fluted panel headboard in the same American Oak veneer. This breaks the monotony of the colour as it is seen and used throughout the apartment by adding in texture and detail. Lighting is used to enhance the headboard.

Our Country House project in Gippsland, designed by Gippsland Architect Thextonsmith combines a mix of country warmth with modern luxury.
The brief was to create a warm and inviting interior design with a country-lux edge to it. The use of natural materials was highlighted by the client as a must, as was material suitability and an earthy feel. Within a fantastic architectural shell, the light filled interiors provide unobstructed views out to the farmland beyond. With these key items in mind, Thextonsmith delved into the design process.
The resulting interior is a country-luxe mix utilising natural, stones, timbers and veneers in a simple and homely way, allowing the built aspect of the fit-out to be enhanced by an interchangeble layer of soft furnishings over time. Where metals were used, these were subtle – such as in the aged brass tapware, hardware and rangehood surround, enhancing the sense of luxury, without overpowering the earthy character and feel.
Choice slabs of marble were selected for the benchtops and splashbacks, warm and rich timber veneer to the joinery, travertine flooring to the entry way and ensuite feature wall, and elegant yet organic pendant lights top off this rural elegance look and feel.
Perfect understated luxury.

Situated in the idyllic south-eastern coast of Singapore, overlooking the Singapore Straits and Marina Bay cityscape, this penthouse is the epitome of luxury living.
Our scope was to create an elegant yet luxurious home for the client where the panoramic view of the coast is the star. While keeping the colour scheme muted, the pieces highlighted in this apartment were unique and a statement all on their own. The design reflected restrained elegance and luxury.
The double story ceiling height in the living space features a cluster of museum-like pendants that draws your attention upwards, accentuating the double-story height, making it feel even grander.
The private bedrooms, however, showcase pops of colours, reflective of the individual using the space.
