Design Description:
The Living Room is situated in Macalister Mansion, a boutique hotel that is conceptualized as a quirky and sophisticated lifestyle destination where guests are treated to a series of experiences not unlike those found in the hospitality of an actual home. Housed in a 100-year-old historic mansion that has been conserved and adapted, the Living Room is one of 6 entities: 5 F&Bs and a hotel. Each of the 6 entities can be enjoyed as part of the overall experience but are branded as distinct rooms or spaces that are typically found in a mansion — Dining room, Den, Cellar, Living room, Lawn and Eight rooms.

Retaining the original filigree window grilles and decorative red and white tiles of the colonial mansion, the Living room is designed to be an inviting and casual dining option. Hanging green plants and playful pendent lights complement the beautiful window grilles. Seating is made up of a variety of delightful chairs and couches in different colours and textures, grouped around tables of 4 – 8 persons. The Living room also has a red felt pool table in an adjoining room, which can be converted into a private dining venue. Artwork ranges from tongue-in-cheek 2D depictions of furniture or artefacts painted onto the walls beside actual 3D ones.

Space includes artwork by Low Chee Peng, Renny Cheng, & Tan Kai Sheuan.
