It’s hard to deny that Singaporeans are often fixated on practicality, which might explain why all-white minimalist homes are becoming increasingly trendy—these designs often offer more utility in the form of space efficiency and lack of decorative elements.
These designs also tend to end up looking homogeneous, though this wasn’t the case with this chic and elegant home designed by Bud Studio. It adopts all the perks of a minimalist home, with interesting details that set it apart.
Futuristic living space that’s also soft & tranquil

The home is done up in creamy alabaster, giving it a serene look. The calm that this design evokes doesn’t only lie in its colour; its curves lend softness to the avant-garde living area.

While the decor may look futuristic, its furnishings are actually quite simple in form—like the basic modular sofa in white upholstery. Minimalistic decor in the form of neutral colours and natural materials don’t go out of style, which helps the home to retain a timeless quality.
Futuristic monoliths open up the living area

What is decidedly not a tiny detail are the curved monoliths that take centre stage in the home. These sleek pillars serve to demarcate the living room in lieu of regular walls—also doubling as dry pantry storage and plant displays for a pastoral touch to bring softness to the stark white space.
As the first thing guests see when they enter, these pillars create a striking first impression that anchors the design of this space.

The display niches carved into these pillars create passageways of light through the house, and thus the illusion of space. Additionally, the winding shapes of the greenery cast alluring shadows, allowing for Instagrammable photos when golden hour rolls around.

Conversely, one element that guests may miss entirely is the storeroom: Its door lies in an unassuming curved recess where the TV wall tapers off, blending in with the wall and creating a streamlined look.
Built-in display that maximises space

To add warmth to the decor, the living room is decorated with details that cut through the otherwise monotonous colour palette, like the TV and display console clad in dark wood.

The console itself is built into the wall, with a recessed niche acting as an open shelf for decorative elements, allowing the homeowners to inject personality into the space. Due to its built-in nature, it also takes up dramatically less space than a regular TV console.
This sleek & ultramodern all-white condo looks straight out of 2050
These unconventional but clever design choices act as eye-catching details that set this home apart from other minimalist homes—with avant-garde, futuristic elements like its curved monolith pillars. This home’s design is a testament to the fact that a clean look doesn’t need to be boring.
