Cocooned in rich vegetation and replete with modern conveniences, this townhouse has managed to represent both with its wonderfully crafted décor.

A collection of distinct residences in the strategically-located 16 Sierra township, the N’Dira townhouses promise modern lifestyles in modern homes. Peace of mind is guaranteed on more than one level as the residences are nestled in a gated community and surrounded by lush greenery. Having acquired a piece of this private sanctuary, one new homeowner wanted their home to reflect both the modernity and nature-based serenity of the development. That task was handed to Joyce Ng and Phoebe who transformed the townhouse into a celebration of urban living and nature’s beauty.

Using a modern contemporary concept as its core, the interior carefully balances elements frequently seen in the homes of today with the timeless appeal of natural materials. Such a combination immediately greets anyone who ascends the wood-covered stairs leading to the living room in the form of smooth tan floor tiles and a row of vertical sandply planks with a stained finish that serves as a divider separating the staircase from the dining and kitchen area.

As the main social area of the residence, the living room adds a bit of spice to the palette in the form of complementary colours and textures that give it personality without being overbearing. Two sandy brown leather sofas offer comfortable seating options, their dark wood legs a perfect match for the coffee table situated in front of them. Occupying the corner space is a dark grey and burnished red massage chair which adds a dash of exciting colour to the mix. Not to be outshone, the wall-mounted black and white television cabinet underlines its most unique features which are the floating shelves above the television. Sporting decorative grills and shelf lighting, they have been decorated with a collection of small artwork and knick-knacks. Capping everything off is the set of olive green curtains covering the full-length windows.

In the dining and kitchen area, a more monochrome palette was applied to give the space a clean and crisp look that sets it apart from the living room nearby. Here, the floor-to-ceiling cupboards and cabinets alternate between white and black, calling to mind a chess board. This is offset by an L-shaped shelf space and the wall one the opposite side as both bear rich brown wood panelling that help maintain nature’s presence in the area. However, the centrepiece of this space is undoubtedly the wooden-top dining table which is connected to the kitchen island which commits entirely to the black colour scheme by also having a black laminated granite top.

Ascending the wood-covered stairs to the next floor will reveal that the influence of the given theme holds fast albeit with a slightly greater focus on wood elements. The dark wood flooring used here gives these private areas the sophisticated kind of warmth that is befitting their purposes. In the master bedroom, they also match perfectly with the wooden panels and bedside table covering half of the wall behind the bed as well as the cabinet on the opposite side. All this is counterbalanced with a large abstract-patterned carpet and beige textured paint on the uncovered parts of the walls.

Befitting the preferences of its occupant, the child’s bedroom has a much more playful aura and features less wood elements in comparison. Furnished with a small blue upholstered bed, the room features a circus play tent and cartoon drawings of animals on one wall. Meanwhile, the study which has a more business-like ambiance has been equipped with dark grey curtains and a set of cupboards made of white and natural wood grain panels.
