Article source: Studio Wills + Architects Untitled #7 is a renovation to an old 2-storey apartment at The Arris, located within Tanjong Pagar Area in Singapore. The original pared-down interior stood in stark contrast with a context consisting of an eclectic mix of shop houses adorned with multiple colours, materials, textures and ornaments: There was a strong division between the interior and the external environment.

 New insertions (Shoe Cabinet, Display and Console) barely touching the original pared-down Living, Image Courtesy © Beton Brut The interior design took elements found within the context, distilled and contained them within 2 ‘BOXES’: one BLUE and the other BLACK, and strategically inserted them within the original interior.
