Off the clock, on the court.

TEAM SPORT | We spend our days designing spaces people love coming home to. Turns out we also love leaving the office. This is what the Ethnic ID team looks like when the drawings are done and the courts are calling โ€” pickleball, bad shots, and a lot of group chat drama about who won.
Good design needs a good team. Good teams need days like this.

A home should feel composed before it feels decorated.

For Mont Residence, the focus was a warmer, softer kind of modern living: layered lighting, clean storage lines, gentle texture, and a layout that lets the rooms breathe.

The result is quiet, practical, and deeply livable.

One family. Every room designed to last them a decade.

FULL HOUSE | From the floor-to-ceiling feature wall in the living room to a kids' room built for two growing daughters โ€” this is Setia Sky Ville done end to end. A kitchen that balances white and charcoal with calacatta running wall to wall. A master bedroom that exhales the moment you walk in. A bunk loft with a cloud light at the top of the stairs. Every space designed around how this family of three actually lives โ€” not how a showroom thinks they should.

The details that stop you in the hallway.

DROP ZONE | Most foyers get a shelf and a hook. This one got a fully considered drop zone built into the partition column โ€” recessed niche with a sintered stone ledge, under-cabinet strip light casting warm amber across the surface, matte cabinet doors above and below in a dusty slate finish. A small eucalyptus stem and reed diffuser sitting in the corner because the first thing you smell when you walk in matters too. The kind of detail most people walk past without knowing why the house feels different.

A room that makes kids forget bedtime exists.

LOFT BURROW | Two daughters, two worlds, one room that holds both. The lower berth is a soft cave โ€” recessed niche with warm-lit shelves for books and bunnies, spot-lit from above, open enough for mum or dad to squeeze in on the nights that call for it. The upper loft sits above it all, reached by oak-clad steps with a cloud sconce glowing at the top โ€” because even the climb should feel like part of the adventure. A full-width platform bed below runs drawer-deep for storage, taupe finish keeping it calm while the kids bring the colour. No sharp edges, no adult seriousness โ€” just a room that grows with them.

3,600 SF. One family. Zero compromises.

They came to us with a clear brief: warm, calm, and built to last. Not a showroom. A home they'd actually live in for the next 20 years.

So we designed around how they live โ€” not how a home is supposed to look.

Modern Japandi. Penang landed. Every detail considered.

This bedroom was designed to feel like switching off.

Rest Earned | Slate-grey upholstered headboard framed by a curved oak panel that wraps softly into a floating bedside ledge. A brass pendant with a porcelain ruffle shade dropping at just the right height. Cove light tracing the ceiling edge in warm amber โ€” enough to read by, calm enough to sleep under.

Linen-textured wardrobe panel facing the bed, oak grain behind. Every material chosen to lower the temperature of the room the moment you walk in.

8am. Site's quiet.

Just us, the tools, and the work. ๐Ÿชš
Every panel aligned.
Every curve deliberate.
Every wire tucked before the ceiling closes.
This is what happens before the reveal.
Nobody sees this part.
But this part is everything.

You'd never know it was there.

Hidden Wardrobe | Full-height joinery running wall to wall โ€” oak grain on one side, linen-textured panel on the other. The bathroom entrance sits flush within the wardrobe frame, no frame gap, no visible hinge. Walk past it and you'd think it was just another door panel. That's exactly the point.
