Project: Le Nouvel Ardmore apartment
Designer: Brewin Design Office
Location: Singapore

This vacation home situated in Jean Nouvel’s Le Nouvel Ardmore condominium was designed with the goal to immerse the owner in a holiday mood. Harnessing the unblocked view of the skyscape, blue marble floors create a seamless transition between the interiors and the expansive sky to give a sublime feeling of lightness upon entering the living room.
A serene palette influenced by coastal nature continues this theme of lightness in the ensemble of loose furniture pieces and antiques that have been sourced to enhance the design concept of the Le Nouvel Ardmore apartment.
“The client was in love with the high storey and unobstructed view, also the dusk colours… the evening sky at the later part of year is almost typically light blue grey, which she wanted her apartment to emulate,” shares Bobby Cheng, the firm’s founder and the project’s lead designer.
The bedrooms and family room are wrapped in an assortment of timbers, as well as marble inserts applied to side tables and wardrobe panels that lend the spaces a touch of luxe. This feeling is writ large in the bathrooms, which are entirely clad in stone – darker Ocean Black Travertine in one bathroom and expansive Brazilian Crystal Blue Quartzite marble in the master bedroom bathroom.
