The 600sqft one bedroom apartment was designed around travel artifacts and antiques. The client’s Paranakhan heritage and lifestyle is also considered with rich colour and pattern throughout as well as generous outdoor cooking and dining areas that fluidly extend the living room.

Orlins Court was featured in Design Anthology, where reporter Simone Schultz writes, “The home is characterised by this marriage of antique and contemporary, along with the travel motif and the swathes of avocado green — a shade inspired by the client’s favourite handbag — and gentle blush tones. The two antique wardrobes, the traditional drum-cum-coffee table and an old painting in the bedroom are matched with more contemporary, slightly curvaceous pieces sourced primarily from Danish furniture brand MENU, which as Cheng says, ‘let the antiques shine in a way that is balanced but still quietly eclectic.”
