Robertson Quay Residence: A Bold Take on Retro-Modern Luxury Living in Singapore

At Blackwoods Interior, we believe every home tells a story — and this vibrant residence in Robertson Quay, Singapore is a statement of bold personality, creative confidence, and refined sophistication. Inspired by mid-century design cues and modern sensibilities, this project transforms a city apartment into a lively yet elegant retreat that celebrates colour, texture, and light.

A Symphony of Colours and Textures

Upon entering, your eyes are drawn immediately to the teal and mustard feature wall — a daring yet harmonious combination that infuses the space with warmth and energy. The abstract art piece sets the tone for the living area, creating a focal point that balances both artistic flair and modern refinement.

Rich teal armchairs, a velvet ottoman in mustard yellow, and soft beige furnishings complete the palette, while natural wood flooring grounds the entire composition with warmth. Each element works together to evoke a retro-chic vibe, but with a distinctly contemporary twist — perfectly suited for urban living in Singapore’s cosmopolitan heart.

Open-Concept Design with Subtle Separation

The living space is divided by fluted glass partitions, offering both openness and privacy without sacrificing light flow. This modern design technique enhances spatial perception — making the apartment feel airy and expansive. The transparent texture adds depth and sophistication, softening transitions between rooms while maintaining visual connectivity.

Lighting that Defines Elegance

Lighting plays a central role in this Robertson Quay home. Art-deco inspired chandeliers with gold accents cascade from the ceiling, providing sculptural elegance and warm illumination. Their organic forms echo the curves of the furniture and décor, uniting the entire space with a sense of rhythm and luxury.

Every bulb and fixture is thoughtfully placed to create ambience and intimacy, highlighting key textures — from the velvet upholstery to the reflective sheen of the glass panels.

A Home Designed for Modern Living

Beyond aesthetics, this home is designed with functionality and comfort in mind. The layout encourages social interaction, with an inviting central seating area ideal for gatherings or quiet evenings at home. Large windows flood the interior with natural light, enhancing the vibrancy of every surface and material.

The combination of natural light, layered lighting, and balanced colour schemes creates an atmosphere that is at once calm and invigorating — a hallmark of Blackwoods Interior’s design philosophy.
