Singaporeans that are gravitating towards larger homes these days, not just to accommodate growing families or create better work-from-home setups, but also because they see it as a smart investment and a way to enjoy more room for leisure and lifestyle pursuits.

As remote working and hybrid arrangements become the norm, homeowners seek spacious layouts that provide dedicated areas for work and family activities without compromising personal space. Larger homes are also seen as a long-term investment, catering to growing families or multi-generational living, where privacy and comfort are paramount. With that, we shine the spotlight on spacious, statement-making homes that embrace the luxury of size and creative design in this issue.

From sprawling executive maisonettes to rare jumbo HDB flats, we find out how homeowners have maximised every inch to create open, inviting spaces that inspire. Discover how thoughtful layouts and design details can transform large interiors into beautiful, functional sanctuaries (p20-53).

Be captivated by bold, innovative concepts—like Toshiba’s new range of appliances that balance cutting-edge technology with elegance (p12)—and explore how curated styles and natural textures can bring warmth and comfort to even the most expansive of homes (p 14). We hope these inspiring spaces help you think big and live even larger. Enjoy the read!
