DESIGN NAME: Futuristic Home
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Residential House
INSPIRATION: Inspired by the Sci-Fi movie Passengers starred by Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt, the family approached us to create a bold concept of their home where they can live in the future. The gleams of the concept is a monochromatic color palette with futuristic furniture in white angular lines and sophisticated fittings with refined elegance and amazing visual presence. The house needs to be an immersive and experiential environment.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Beside the norms of mainstream residential interiors in Singapore with the fluidity and organic forms, the concept must integrate the elements of both sense and sensibility, forms and functions.
With the applications of recessed light belts that illuminates to guide you to the bedroom, the interior must merge whole aspect of smart home technology. All these aspects were translated into an integral design where space, interior, furniture, media and interaction and technology merge.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: With the applications of recessed light belts that illuminates to guide you to the bedroom, the interior must merge whole aspect of smart home technology. All these aspects were translated into an integral design where space, interior, furniture, media and interaction and technology merge. The house needs to be an immersive and experiential environment.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in January 2018 and to be finished by August 2018 in Marina Bay, Singapore.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Interior Space and Exhibition Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The main material for creating the walls are made up of a mix of solid surfacing and customized gypsum board materials. The living cushion is made of high-elastic polyurethane foam with white leather upholstery. The matte surface on the ceiling and doors is of aluminum. Lighting is one of the major details in all spaces especially the bedrooms, the beds are made suspended to defy basic laws of physics and to create the floating effect.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Apartment size 11000mm x 11000mm x 3000mm. 120 square metres
TAGS: future, kinetic design, streamlined, futuristic, solid surface, curve walls, parametric forms, functional walls.
RESEARCH ABSTRACT: With the applications of recessed light belts that illuminates to guide you to the bedroom, the interior must merge whole aspect of smart home technology. The detailing is sophisticated and high end. All these aspects were translated into an integral design where space, interior, furniture, media and interaction and technology merge. The house needs to be an immersive and experiential environment.
CHALLENGE: With the emphasis of ‘no wood’ criteria by the owner, the materials mainly used solid surfacing, metal & glass material which can make the space reflective and appear larger. The difficulty lies in the design of different materials to do the same color, and color differences as small as possible, tones of grey are added to provide the contrast needed to break away the ‘clinic’ look.
