“My work as an interior designer and architect has influenced the industry by pushing design boundaries, promoting sustainability, and contributing to professional development through involvement in organizations like the Society of Interior Designers Singapore. Additionally, my signature element of ‘reflection’ has raised awareness of spatial quality and duality in design, inspiring others to create even more possibilities in the design industry.”
Inspired Design Philosophy
With his sleek yet luxurious approach to design that engages contemporary design language, Peter places emphasis on the pure essence of space to accentuate the lifestyles of his clientele. He also focuses on the art of tailoring timeless beauty through materials and textures, guiding his design innovation and outlining the way forms transform over time. His designs bridge the perceptual space between interior and exterior spaces, exploring the duality and interchangeability between architecture and interiors.
