Ar-kee Design Studio crafts a condominium apartment in Ardmore Residence inspired by the Australian Outback for an owner who is proud of his homeland
At the entrance of this condominium apartment in the heart of town, the black-bordered dark glass door is accented with a metallic, antler-shaped handle. It sets the tone for the interior design by Ar-kee Design Studio, which was inspired by Australian motifs.
“The husband is an Australian tax lawyer while the wife is a Singaporean homemaker,” shares John Chan, the co-founder of the design studio who worked with lead designer Jasen Chia on this project. The proud Australian owner wanted to have elements of his homeland in this apartment.

The condominium apartment's design theme was also inspired by the owner’s collection of Australian Aboriginal art. The design team sought to create a contemporary interior as a backdrop for this display, together with rich, natural patterns and textures inspired by the artwork.
As the family had moved from a landed property to the condominium apartment, they hoped to optimise the furniture layout, floor area usage, and plentiful efficient storage.
