Most kitchens are rooms. This one is an object.

In the 40 Swatches Apartment, the dry kitchen was designed to read as a freestanding volume in the open plan — something you encounter, not just use. Copper-textured veneer cabinetry, green marble counters and backsplash, smoked glass uppers, brass fittings throughout.

The wet kitchen sits just behind — a separate room, a different mood, revealed through a pivot door.

This is where 40 material swatches became five decisions.

The main unifying material is an egg-white colored micro cement, applied seamlessly across the apartment floor — giving the narrow 5-metre wide apartment a sense of continuity and span.

A neutral palette is intentional applied — a base for the future occupants to style as they wish, whether eclectic lamp fixtures or conventional furniture pieces.

To the left, the dry kitchen is inserted into the plan, like a piece of furniture, to serve the hosting functions of the home.

40 Swatches Apartment
Interior Architecture of Pre-War Walk Up Apartment
Singapore, 2024

Adapting to the small footprint of an existing apartment shell, the challenge was fitting every program a couple needs — one that loves to host, yet values their own privacy.

Walls were removed to open the plan across both floors. Pure geometries introduced sparingly — in the powder room, kitchen, and stairwell — to offer moments of surprise throughout the living space.

A project that began with 100 references and 40 swatches — and became, somehow, an exercise in balance and restraint.

Ultimately, we were aiming to create a vibe.

Matou House
Reconstruction of a Semi-Detached House
Singapore, 2025



The master bedroom is designed around respite and stillness. The material palette echoes the living room, reinforcing the intent — warm timber, linen tones and surfaces. The headwall anchors the space. A steel trim frames a bay window that looks out. The custom dresser and chair is an abstract exercise in form.

Everything is carefully considered. Nothing screams for attention.

Sometimes the most interesting moves are the ones made to what’s already there.

For this project, we kept the original staircase, reworked it with new finishing and saw the opportunity to express new details that reward a second look.

We love how this space anchors the house and provides a talking point for the visitors.

To our amusement, the owners began referring to it simply as “the chapel”.

Matou House
Reconstruction of a Semi-Detached House
Singapore, 2025



It is always our pursuit to uncover the soul within every project we undertake.

By “soul”, we mean a space that evokes emotion — one that commands attention and transforms everyday use into something memorable.

In Matou House, we recognised this potential within the stairwell. Its height and chapel-like proportions offered an opportunity to carve out a vertical void that could anchor the home spatially and emotionally.

Terracotta red textured paint was introduced to intensify this volume — giving it weight, presence, and a quiet sense of reverence.

Architecture can sometimes be so serious - that’s why we enjoy designing a quirky little detail every now and then.

Experimenting with the sub-theme of “incompleteness”; here we designed a circular pull handle on this massive sliding door panel to the living room. It oscillates between the states of complete and incomplete as one operates the door.
