    • The apartment’s open-plan enhances its spaciousness and free-flowing sensibility.
    • The red-and-teal colour scheme continues in the master bathroom, which boasts two shower heads.
    • Round shapes are a recurring motif in the apartment. They are used to offset the linearity of the space.

    AS A partner in Spark Architects, Lim Wenhui leads a team whose work is characterised by movement, energy and vibrancy.

    Just think of the electrifying pulse that permeates Singapore’s Clarke Quay, the cyberpunk sensibilities of Grid in Selegie, or the dramatic jewel-like form of Kuala Lumpur’s Starhill Gallery – all projects that the firm lays claim to orchestrating.  

    One might be tempted to think that Lim’s own home would be a haven of tranquillity as a counterpoint to all that vivacity, but the opposite is true. An unabashed devotee of all things bright and beautiful, Lim’s 132-square-metre apartment is a riot of colour.
