This 3-storey bungalow has seven bedrooms and a basement! When Terence Neo, design director of interior design firm Eightytwo, started work on his family home, he was overwhelmed by the briefs his parents and three siblings had, as they each had different ideas.
Terence used travertine flooring throughout the ground floor to create an understated but luxurious look.
Granite Wall
A large slab of granite with line engravings is hung on the wall in the dining area to create
a minimalist yet statement-making “work
of art”.
The teak wood dining table was customised, and matches the colour of wood in the dry kitchen.

Statuario Marble
Partial to Statuario marble for its elegance, Terence bought a full slab of it and used
it to clad the kitchen island, which contrasts well with the teak wood. Guests enjoy gathering around the island.

Parent’s Bedroom
The largest room in the house is his parents’
room; Terence had to ensure the bathroom was equally impressive.
Featuring marble-clad walls, double sinks, large mirrors, and a claw-foot bathtub, the intimate space is luxurious and bright, but not overwhelming.

Black Brick Wall
“Black is the new white,” proclaims Terence, on his extensive use of black in his room. Black brick walls and a black-and-white zigzag-patterned rug add texture and detail to the room.

Platform Bed
In Terence’s bedroom on the third storey, the same teak wood used in the dry kitchen is used here to create a platform bed, with the headboard extending up to the ceiling to create a canopy.
