African Colonial Chic Residential House

African Colonial Chic

African Colonial Chic is a residential interior design for a two storey colonial house in Siglap, Singapore. The old house had sunk over time, and no two walls were straight. Full height double leaf French doors were repeated inside and outside to create consistent horizontal and vertical lines and to reduce the visual effect of the irregularities. Old brickwork was retained in the living and dining areas, while patterned tiles mark the kitchen, foyer and powder room. Rattan and whitewashed wood link the colonial architecture with modern South African style.

African Colonial Chic Residential House by Priscilla Khiu has been highlighted as a grand representation of architectural design by the A' Design Award. African Colonial Chic Residential House won the Bronze A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2020. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design award that rewards superior design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
