Local firm Ministry of Design has just completed the interiors of the Standard Singapore, which is complete with a reception counter backed by an integrated terrarium and a plethora of plants. The theme behind the aesthetic was to create a form of an urban oasis.
This is the latest from the Standard brand, and the brief was to capture its brand in a unique and relevant way that connects to Singapore. The team proposed incorporating plenty of greenery in the interiors. The founder of the Ministry of Design, Colin Seah, speaks more on the new location: "Our vision for The Standard Singapore has always been part quirky tropical oasis, part mellow party pad; disarming and energising in equal measure."
