Situated close to the coast in eastern Singapore, this ground-floor apartment revels in its seaside influence, while celebrating its owners’ love of art and travel.

Home to Ukrainian couple Kateryna and Sergiy Pervak, the 2,509sqft abode drinks in the light, featuring a soaring five-metres high ceiling in the living area, four bedrooms, as well as a generously-sized veranda equipped with a Jacuzzi and dining area.

Take a closer look at their stunning abode from these slides:

Above Walls of this abode had to be re-plastered, during the renovation stage of this project

Although the three-bedroom apartment already featured elements of a dream home, some renovation work was still necessary.

The walls were not well-maintained, and the bathrooms had to be redone. The owners also wished to have a truly personalised abode, with decorative details personally selected by the couple while creating a more stunning backdrop for Kateryna’s paintings and collection of Art Deco-style objects.

The homeowners thus turned to interior designer New Nyew and her eponymous firm to help realise their dream abode; it was a fruitful collaborative process filled with creative synergy between the couple and the designer, and it took a total of two months to complete this project.

To create the perfect backdrop for the eclectic art collection, the homeowners opted for a neutral palette for the residence. The apartment is clad in primarily in shades of grey and cream, accentuated by pops of colour on the artworks and upholstery hand-picked by the couple.

Sliding doors by the living area open up to the outdoor area, which overlooks verdant greenery and floods the abode with natural light.

Potted plants and a painting by Kateryna animate the space, next to seats upholstered in serene blue leather that draw cues to the home’s proximity to the sea. A characterful collection of cushions and throws also add to the snug appeal of the space.

Plant life enlivens the veranda, which celebrates the simple pleasures of dining outdoors; the space is also conveniently furnished with a coffee machine and a petite Smeg fridge.

All three bathrooms have been redone to reflect the abode’s new look, with each exhibiting a different character; walls of the master bathroom (pictured here) is clad predominantly in mosaic tiles while another bathroom exhibits a more minimalistic look.

Every corner of the abode, from the hallway to the bathrooms has been thoughtfully decorated; a cabinet in one bathroom for instance, becomes an opportunity to showcase favoured objects and fragrances, while storing bath towels.

A tactile mix of materials from the leather headboard, assorted cushions to wood sideboard make the master bedroom a cosy sanctuary, while metallic trimmings and a pair of crystal lamps brings a touch of Art Deco glamour to the space.
