This apartment is a showcase of its owner’s hobbies

This apartment is a showcase of its owner’s hobbies

The owners of this Sengkang apartment are avid cyclists who also make a living selling cycling gear. Their home is similarly committed to their passions.

Cabinetry finishes and furnishings in dusky tones evoke a cosy vibe in this three-bedroom apartment. The eye is immediately drawn to the lighted aquarium (the owners also have a passion for aquascaping) and the bicycle showcase.

The mini aquarium is incorporated into the full-height storage cabinets by the apartment entrance. By integrating the tank into the design, not only is space saved but maintenance has also been simplified.

A common bedroom has been transformed into a showcase space for the owners’ bicycle. Glass windows and a striking yellow shelf allow the display to be shown off prominently and be admired even from the living area, turning this prized possession into a centrepiece.

The dusky palette seen in the communal space extends to the private zones as well. To create an atmosphere for rest, the bedrooms feature concealed lighting fixtures such as behind the headboard to radiate a calming ambience.
