Mid-Century Peranakan Boutique Service Apartment
Heritage charm, with a mid-century twist.
A boutique serviced apartment where Peranakan character meets bold, contemporary living.
Located in East Coast, Singapore, this boutique serviced apartment blends Peranakan heritage with bold mid-century influences. Once a traditional shophouse, the property was reimagined into a distinctive hospitality space where vibrant colours, patterned finishes and contemporary furnishings create a memorable yet welcoming stay.
Working within the existing Peranakan-inspired architecture, i.Poise Design introduced mid-century elements through furniture, colour and décor, allowing the space to feel fresh and expressive without overpowering its heritage character.
