    LIVING next to a busy road and in a ground-floor unit might not sound like the ideal home, but with some clever design by architect Khai Toh, a jewellery designer’s apartment has been transformed into a quiet sanctuary.

    The owner calls it his hideout, where he can retreat from the bustle of life and be surrounded by his art collection.

    Located on Neil Road, the home is one of 6 apartments that make up the shophouse.
