Some clients come to us and ask to work on their existing house they live in. For this project, we added some magical furniture by our trusted carpenter. The dining table with warm hues of oak with curvy lines and odd legs is an unforgettable creation we made. At Nanas Design we love to collaborate with client's collection of art.
Client is an Indonesian trading company specialised in metal. They have been growing exponentially, and was in urgent need to relocate to house their new team members. 3 areas were required - 1. the visitor component for meeting rooms and VIP area, 2. the executive office component for the CEO and CMO and top traders rooms, and 3. the staff room, which must have an open workspace with a meeting room and a break room. The staff are young and vibrant, and they expect to have guests frequently so the meeting rooms and VIP rooms should have a sense of luxury and solidity. We took care to mix the youthfulness and luxury together to make it their own.
A quick and refreshing update for a family of 3 to provide a space to expand their imagination, spark ideas and boost creativity. Living in Singapore, far away from home, they wanted decoration which reminded them of colourful San Fransisco. Huge, vivid and impactful painting is installed along with wallpaper with unforgettable design. This project is a reminder that small but meaningful touches go a long way.
Full turnkey service at a luxurious 4 room floorplan in Orchard, Singapore for a young, eccentric and entrepreneurial couple. Having moved from Indonesia recently and predominantly looking after businesses from home, the brief was to create a home that is like a magazine feature like yet homely. Light and airy colours in fabrics & finishes were selected, and luxurioous material palette was used to create a number of custom furniture pieces for their new home. Numerous decor pieces were procured from across the world to embellish the space as the influencers themselves are art collectors.
Having previously been awarded with Best Retail Interior Singapore for their store in Kampong Bahru, The Ice Cream Bar opens its second store in the prominent shopping centre in 313 Somerset on Orchard Road. With its playful arched structures and warmer colour palette, the store looks cosy and inviting to their target audience. The unit is only 454 square feet, therefore maximising the floorplate was one of the top design priorities. We adjusted to the millimetres to get the right operational as well as experiential space.
Inspired by Dr. Harish Mithiran's commitment to minimally-invasive and robotic thoracic surgery, non-intrusive designs and elements were selected to respect his ethos. Offering latest technology thoracic surgery services at Gleneagles Hospital on a street-level with a lot of visibility, NEUMARK clinic is automatically exposed to a lot of patients visiting the hospital. We ensured it is pleasing to look into the clinic from every angle, but at the same time this became a design challenge to create sufficient consultation and storage areas that needed to be closed off. Hence, a wall that features a huge double opening sliding doors was introduced, inviting a full circle visual journey back to the reception counter which is adorned by Louis Poulsen snowball pendant light. Setting the ambiance for healing and latest technology, the tonal palette included soft grey and racing green.
We wanted to create a space that was both artistic yet liveable and child-friendly. To achieve that, we made the art pieces the protagonists of the home while keeping the rest of the interior classic and comfortable. The furnishing, furniture and cabinetry were all custom-made to meet the clients' requirement, ensuring the quality would be of the highest standard. To further elevate the apartment, we created personalised towels, linens and wine glasses, while also adding little extra touches from European brands like Minotti, Hermes and B&B Italia.
When designing and building this ice cream bar in the lovely neighbourhood of Kampung Bahru, we set out to include elements that reflected the old world charm of the area. As a nod to the Straits-Chinese heritage exteriors of the shop houses with arched windows and wooden louvered shutters, we incorporated dark woods and warm browns to the interiors. Art deco elements and a custom neon light featuring the brand’s logo help to give the space a modern touch.
For this home, the aim was to create a welcoming, serene atmosphere, which was why we designed it with lush, soft furniture and warm, soothing shades of cream, beige and browns. The client was a large family that loves to spend quality time together at common areas which are open and spacious, but each member still wanted to retain private, personalised rooms. A beautiful house doesn’t need to break the bank, so we intentionally used a mix of high-end with more cost-effective quality furniture. We wanted the master walk-in wardrobe to not only be beautiful but also functional, so we added a chic little movable ladder to make it easier to reach high shelves. And of course, outdoor space is especially such a luxury to have today, so we made sure to accentuate the space by creating a patio with a relaxing resort vibe filled with large sofas and ceiling fans that you can lounge the day away in.
We were tasked to upgrade this exclusive restaurant to create a more authentic, warm and welcoming atmosphere that visitors can enjoy spending time in. We commissioned a custom board that artistically hides the existing glass panel (that reveals the inside of the busy kitchen), and added various handmade Japanese-inspired decorations and art pieces. Light fixtures were added to create bright yet warm surroundings to enhance the whole dining experience.
We were tasked to design a home that would fit a family of six while still giving each individual their personal space. As the client had grown up in the home and wanted to keep some of its history, we created louvre windows at the front and back of this terrace house. This not only creates a sense of nostalgia, but also allows you to control the amount of natural light and ventilation you would like to let in. We used a lot of woods in this home to pull it together, while also adding personalised details and colours everywhere so every room would feel tailor-made.
It was really fun designing this ultra exclusive private lounge at the top floor of a hotel. Meant to host various private entertainments like dinners or karaoke nights, we knew everything had to be luxurious, made of the highest quality but still comfortable. We chose a neutral yet classic palette of whites and dark browns, with custom marble furnishings and chandeliers to elevate the place. Cove lightings kept the place feeling warm and inviting, while comfy sofas ensured you’ll never want to leave.
We combined two apartments to create this gorgeous space that came up to a total of 8,000 square feet. The brief was classic luxury, so we knew had to design a ‘wow’ home with modern touches. To create showroom-worthy spaces, we added carefully selected chandeliers not just in common areas but also in bedrooms. A mixture of recessed and cove ceiling lights gave out a soft warm glow to make the house feel like a home, while marble floorings gave it a luxury timeless feel.
Renovating and designing this start-up preschool involved many elements. As the structure was old, we had to demolish many walls to create wide, open spaces that children could enjoy. We also wanted to work within a budget so as not to over-tax this amazing start-up. High on our list was making sure everything was unique, cheerful and child-friendly. To achieve that, we painted colourful shapes and designs on the different walls to brighten up the space. The furniture chosen were all comfortable yet cute, with little extra touches like wavy tables. We also built a small playground with customised cushioned floors at the front of the school so the kids could have fun while at school.
Our client was an expat whose wife and daughter were mainly living abroad, so we had to design a house that was minimalistic enough for a man but still homey enough for a family. With that in mind, we created a lot of wide-open spaces in this gorgeous loft so there wouldn’t be a lot of clutter. We transformed the rooftop into an open-air lounge that the family could enjoy when they came to visit. And to make it extra welcoming for his daughter, we added whimsical little touches like a terrazzo bathroom wall and bright pops of colour for her bed and bathroom.
For this flagship ice cream store, we wanted to make sure it reflected the sweet vibes of the brand. The entire space was decorated in pastel shades and sunny yellows. We also customised a cosy communal table under a skylight so patrons could enjoy the natural light. As the pièce de résistance, the entire store is filled with Instagrammable spaces; from the cheerful swing set in the middle to the custom neon signs with cute messgaes.
Our clients intended to start spending more time at home, and tasked us to style their apartment to make it even more comfortable and beautiful. Given that they were moved to Sentosa Cove, we immediately were inspired by nature, and decided to add pops of green. We installed a faux plant panel in the balcony that instantly changed the vibe of the home and made it more welcoming and soothing. Personalised art and seashells were placed throughout the house to complete the aesthetic.
Whenever we take on a project, we always strive to first understand our client’s needs and wants. Before we started work on this lifestyle space that offers personalised beauty experiences, we sat down with founder of cAL Calin, who shared with us that lifestyle was going to be key to this project and she even wanted a bar in the middle of the unit and an area for kids. We decided to take advantage of the skylight the shophouse offered and built a gorgeous bar back with light wood and textured tiles. We also added in arches and soft hues of dessert pink to reflect Calin’s beauty and robust personality.
This jet-setting family spends half their time abroad, which meant that it was important that their apartment not requite much maintenance since they would be away a lot. However, they still wanted their house to feel like a home. To create an urban oasis, we chose high quality pieces that added gravitas to the home. Exquisite ornaments made the argument for less is more, while pictures of the family decorated the walls. As our client works from home, his office was something we paid extra attention to, creating a fully custom desk that was personalised for his needs and comfort.
Small tweaks can often make a big difference. For this project, the client wanted us to style the entrance door to make it more appealing to customers whilst giving it some privacy. As we did not think a big change was needed, we added Japanese graphic sheet to the front door sheet and an elegant signage, which immediately transformed its appearance.
The brief given to us by this branding company was to create a space for working, meetings as well as serve as short-term accommodations for overseas staff. We wanted a workspace that would allow people to chat and collaborate easily, so we designed an open concept area with bespoke desks for comfort. Sofas and communal tables gave off an easy ambience to encourage creativity, while powder coated black steel elements give the office a cool industrial vibe.
We were asked to style this luxurious holiday home for some special guests. As the property was already furnished, we did not want to waste any existing pieces that could be kept. We also wanted to ensure that this historical house kept its old world charm, so we needed to render the spaces cosy and liveable while still retaining its original spirit. We used a plethora of pillows and ornaments to brighten up the home and add colour and comfort. For the semi-formal tradition dining room, we installed a dramatic crystal chandelier and curtains that gave shine and depth to the dark space.
Clubshops offer a large variety of products. The design has to be able to be easy to navigate while still highlighting products in their best light. Customers should be able to get what they need with ease while also be introduced to new products at the same time. The client had asked us to work on the new store design, style and Visual Merchandising Design for the store, so we recreated a modern yet luxurious interpretation of a Japanese supermarket, with neat shelves, tables for highlighting products and a chic cashier area.
