The Little Nyonya
We don’t often get to work on projects with a strong emphasis on heritage. So we were excited when Charlotte and James came to us asking for a modern home with a Peranakan theme.

The couple owned a traditional Nyonya bakery, and they wanted to replicate that ambience in the comfort of their abode.
They didn’t just want a retro look. They also wanted to retain a modern feel to their home. So we matched the floral patterned flooring with sleek wooden furniture in the dining area.
We replicated the beautiful color scheme of their bakery by matching deep teal cabinets with light-colored flooring throughout their home.
They also wanted a private space where they could conjure new recipe ideas for their bakery, so we created a platform that doubled as an office desk and a cozy corner in their study.
We had lots of fun doing this project. We hope it inspired you too.
If you have any designs for your dream home, we'd love to hear from you.
