Aesthetics-wise, the architecture mixes the couple’s individual leanings. “My wife wanted an ultra-modern home with lots of glass and natural light, while I wanted a Brutalist-cum-Modernist home design,” said the owner. On shared passions, the entertainment room is where they are found.
“We have a soft spot for toy collectibles and the playful pop art style, and wanted this room to be designed with these in mind,” shared the owner, a self-professed “kidult”. The room also has a state-of-the-art karaoke system, retro arcade machines, a jukebox, prized Bearbricks – all watched over by a life-sized Iron Man sculpture. These are at home with vibrant hues and playful elements like custom acrylic domes suspended from the metal ceiling displaying key collectibles, incorporated by Farm as the wife admires the style of The Standard brand of hotels – chic yet intimate.
The owner shared that while the house is large, it feels cosy. The layout of the common spaces that pinwheel around the cube form eliminates wasted corridors, and segregates the different spaces while also connecting them visually. The layout is such that one does not have to walk long distances to get from one part of the house to another; it also helps with easy communication.
