Victoria Park Villas by And Studio (.sg) | The owners – a couple who are content creators and business owners with two young children – live at a peculiar intersection of public and private. They came to And Studio seeking sanctuary, a place where they could simply be with their children, where the noise could be shut out.

The design challenge, though, was more nuanced than creating a mere retreat. Since much of the owners’ filming, photography, and branded content happens at home, the space had to be restful and grounding for the family, yet visually compelling enough to serve as a natural backdrop for shoots, whilst avoiding feeling like a set. Layered into this is their love for hosting – they imagined large family gatherings and elaborate parties flowing effortlessly from indoors to outdoors.

Swipe to discover how And Studio responded with a design vision that creates a quiet rebellion against the relentless pace of modern life.
