Tomlinson Heights is a duplex residence of over 4,000 square feet, reimagined as a private holiday home for an overseas Chinese family who returns to Singapore periodically, with the space also serving as a setting for hosting business associates. The design direction is anchored in a high-end modern oriental language, where opulence is expressed through material richness, proportion, and detail rather than ornament for its own sake. Marble, timber, and metallic accents are used in a controlled composition to create a cohesive spatial experience, while elements such as Chinese hand-painted wallpaper with a subtle silvery finish introduce a cultural layer that is contemporary in tone yet rooted in tradition.

A notable feature of the project is a custom colosseum marble coffee table, originally acquired as a fully crafted monolithic piece. To adapt it for residential use within a condominium environment, the slab underwent a carefully controlled secondary process to remove its central portion while preserving the integrity of its detailed perimeter. This required precise execution to mitigate the risk of fracture and maintain the continuity of the carved form. The modified piece was then integrated as a functional storage coffee table, retaining its sculptural presence while adding practical value. The project reflects a balance between craftsmanship, technical resolution, and a refined expression of modern oriental luxury suited for both private living and formal entertaining.
