Investing in a home that one has not yet physically stepped into is a weighted decision for homeowners. “The interior design of a show unit is important as it helps potential homeowners visualise the possibilities of the space and how a comfortable lifestyle can be realised with good designs,” said Edmund Ng who runs his eponymous architecture firm.
These days, show unit design is not just about embellishing an empty space; it’s also about providing unique and practical ideas on spatial planning related to different demographics and lifestyles. . Post-pandemic, the definition of luxury has also changed, influencing how the show units of high-end properties are designed. Architectural designer and founder of Superfat Designs Lin Weizhang said: “Instead of just expensive materials or shiny surfaces, luxury is now defined by spaces that are calm, where time slows down, where comfort takes over and where you leverage to build on existing relationships.”
We ask four architects and interior designers to share their thoughts as well as ideas on how to create elegant, inviting, and functional homes, using exquisitely designed show units as case studies.
