VPV House by And Studio
In Singapore, VPV House by And Studio emerges as a crafted response to the demands of contemporary life, a quiet sanctuary that transforms both architecture and interiors into a restorative experience.
Conceived for a couple who are content creators, together with their two young children, the house addresses the pressures of their digital-driven lifestyle by offering a place of retreat. Here, the home is imagined as a poetic refuge: a setting where family, intimacy, and serenity take precedence over the relentlessness of the outside world.
Founded by Aitong Yu and Samantha Ho, And Studio approaches each commission with sensitivity to the emotional dimensions of home-making. The practice is guided by the belief that interiors should extend beyond function to embody atmosphere, mediating the relationship between people and the environments they inhabit. This ethos underpins VPV House, where lifestyle and art are thoughtfully entwined to create a setting of warmth and tranquillity.
The interiors of VPV House unfold as a sequence of soft, enveloping zones that dissolve the boundaries between communal and private domains. A palette of pale pinks and earthy browns sets the tone, cultivating serenity throughout. Light filters gently across textured surfaces, lending the home a dream-like quality that contrasts the fast pace of everyday living. At its centre, Breccia Oniciata marble defines the formal living area and dry kitchen. With its warm pinks and creams, the stone anchors the home, offering both refinement and comfort.
This layered approach continues into the bedrooms and walk-in wardrobe, where the tonal browns extend the sense of softness into more intimate quarters. The progression between zones is seamless, from gathering spaces designed for family life to secluded rooms that encourage quietude and solitude. Each transition has been carefully considered, ensuring the house supports both collective experience and private reflection.
Materiality plays a crucial role in heightening the atmosphere. The marble's natural veining brings expressiveness, while subtle textures and softened light enrich the tactile character of each room. Together, these elements conjure an ethereal calm, balancing elegance with sanctuary. This creates a home that feels both grounding and otherworldly, a place where digital noise fades, replaced by stillness and familial presence.
VPV House affirms And Studio's commitment to creating homes that resonate on an emotional level. Within its walls, daily pressures dissipate, giving way to an environment attuned to comfort, intimacy, and a deeper sense of being. More than a dwelling, it is conceived as a sanctuary, a poetic refuge where disconnection from the world becomes a deliberate act of renewal.
