The duplex apartment in the Daniel Libeskind-designed Corals at Keppel Bay already had a good structure: a six-metre-high living and dining space fronts a panoramic sea view and the verdant island of Sentosa beyond, edged by utility spaces and five bedrooms. A staircase leads up to a family room and open terrace.
Meanwhile, the original glass staircase with stainless steel handrails was replaced with an opaque oak timber railing, offering more tactility and comfort to the touch. Along the living room is a wall of white fins that mimics the movements of a boat’s sail in abstraction, and injects three dimensionality to the space. Made of high-quality nanotech laminate, the anti-fingerprint, water-repellent and mould-resistant material considers long-term maintenance.
932 design is a collective ‘driven by an admiration for delicately complex craftsmanship behind what usually seems deceptively simple.’ This apartment clearly reflects this ethos, expressed in every element from the large gestures to the smallest detail.
