Sharing a recently completed project…
Completed in 1970, Kim Sia Court is an established residence in Singapore’s prime District 9, a stone’s throw from the Orchard Road shopping belt. Previously tenanted and significantly aged, the apartment called for more than refurbishment, it required a complete spatial re-engineering. Conceived as a retirement home, the original three-bedroom layout was reconfigured into an expansive two-bedroom residence, prioritising generosity, comfort and the owners’ evolving lifestyle. A substantially enlarged living and dining area forms the social heart of the home, while the master suite is composed as a private retreat with a king-sized sleeping area, lounge and walk-in wardrobe with an island counter. A cosy guest suite with an integrated study completes the private quarters.
The interior is defined by an interplay of opulence and functionality, where luxury is expressed through proportion, spatial generosity and considered detail rather than ornament alone. A highly functional kitchen, ample entertaining spaces, integrated storage and curated settings for the owners’ art collection were embedded into the planning from the outset. By stripping away the constraints of the original configuration and recalibrating the relationship between communal and private spaces, we transformed an ageing apartment into a sophisticated contemporary residence, one designed not merely for retirement, but for living well.
建于 1970 年的 Kim Sia Court,坐落于新加坡核心第九区,与乌节路繁华商圈近在咫尺。经历多年出租与岁月洗礼,原有空间已无法满足当代生活所需,因此此次改造并非简单的翻新,而是从格局、尺度到生活动线的一次全面重塑。作为屋主夫妇的退休居所,原有三房格局被重新规划为宽敞的两房空间,将更多面积释放予客厅与餐厅,打造从容大气的公共区域,既满足日常起居,也为亲友相聚提供舒适而体面的社交空间。主卧则以私人套房的概念重新规划,涵盖特大双人床区、休憩区及设有中岛台的步入式衣帽间;客房温馨精巧,并巧妙融入独立书桌区域,兼顾访客留宿与日常使用。
整体设计在奢雅与实用之间取得恰到好处的平衡。空间的高级感并非源于繁复堆砌,而是通过舒展的尺度、考究的比例与细腻的设计处理自然呈现。从功能完善的厨房、宽裕的用餐与会客空间,到充足的收纳系统及为屋主原有艺术藏品量身规划的展示位置,每一处均从实际生活出发。通过打破旧有格局的局限,重新梳理公共与私密空间之间的关系,我们为这座历经半世纪的住宅赋予全新的生命与格调,打造的不仅是一处理想的退休居所,更是一种从容、舒适而有品质的生活方式。
