A Modern Contemporary Residence

Love and romance is evident in this residence that blends modern and contemporary design styles to produce sophisticated timeless elegance.

There is a haven for those who place value on their surroundings and greenery – a place where one can experience restoration and rejuvenation of mind, body, and soul. Within a township that comprises contemporary homes, undulating hills, and soothing lakes, it is only apt that this residence adopts modern and contemporary design styles that blend with its neighbourhood and fulfil the aspirations of its residents.

Modern and contemporary designs have similar characteristics but are independent from each other. Where beauty is concerned, simplicity showcases sophisticated and timeless elegance and this is evident throughout the residence. The residence’s main social space adopts an open concept that connects the living room, dry kitchen, and dining room, creating an airy and comfortable living space. For both styles, furnishings like sofas and chairs with bare legs, and with reflective surfaces like exposed glass and metals are highlighted. Many things within the residence were revitalised and restored, while the residence’s style and colour theme were retained with the use of spray paint. Laminate was used in the residence to provide protection against various types of impact.

The contemporary design style, applied to the residence’s ground floor, leaves a bold impression, with a mix of natural and industrial-inspired elements. Black marquina marble, a compact fine-grained black natural stone with a distinctive white veining pattern, acts as the main feature of the living room. When combined with the grey black sofa, round black lounge tables, and white floors and walls, this results in a contemporary style for the living room.

With a couple’s wedding photo and a contemporary chandelier adorning the dining space, a sense of romance is created in this setting. A bar island table adorned with black marquina marble, illuminated by overhanging metallic castle pendant lighting, becomes the highlight of the dry kitchen, where guests can be entertaining while some bites are being prepared!

In the residence’s upper floors, a modern design prevails. A sense of warmth exudes; this is made possible by earthy wooden flooring and warm lighting. The master bedroom has a “double happiness” character and another wedding photo above a couple’s bed, signifying the happiness of a loving couple. There is space for the family within the communal living room. A leather elephant-shaped single-seater and chess pieces serve as decorative pieces with functions of their own. When various elements of the residence are compiled together, a sense of sophisticated timeless elegance filled with love and romance becomes the result of this modern contemporary residence.
