Warm wood tones and subtle Japanese and Scandinavian decor nuances energise this Singapore home’s modern minimalist interior scheme
If the realisation of one’s perfect home is the fruit of meticulous planning, this top-floor condominium apartment in Singapore’s River Valley neighbourhood would qualify as an unmitigated success. Crafted by KNQ Associates to suit the requirements of a couple with a newborn daughter, the 1,313 sq ft unit underwent a thoughtful redesign to carve out more space; the design firm also gave the abode a contemporary, neutral palette that highlights its use of natural materials beautifully.
As the proverbial cherry on top, the apartment’s existing layout quirks were played up with design highlights that amplify its overall Japandi (Japanese-meets-Scandinavian) aesthetic, sprinkled with touches of tropical influences in the use of rattan.

Stanley Tham, design consultant at KNQ Associates reveals that the owners desired a roomy abode that made practical use of space; this included creating an area for the husband to work at home. More hidden storage space was a must, along with a “clean-cut approach to the design of the apartment”, says Tham, explaining this was in keeping with the wife’s preference. The designers ended up implementing a minimalist scheme that incorporates subtle Japanese influences for a thoroughly modern interior that practically oozes warmth and an effortless sense of style.
