This apartment is an amalgamation of East and West, very much like the neighbourhood of Tiong Bahru. With wood tones and neutrals as its main themes, it is embellished with furniture from different eras. From oriental crafts and antiques to couches with an early 20th century influence, and finally accented with post-industrial aluminium chairs.    

Like many buildings in Tiong Bahru, art-deco influences can be seen in the details in the balcony, which adds curves to the otherwise squarish and boxy features in the building.
