A Cabinetry Proposal · For Hege & Claes · 4 Paradise Island, Sentosa Cove · 4 July 2026
The cabinetry, room by room — the kitchen, and a room each for Nicolas, Amelia & Cecilia.
Four rooms. One language. Drawn to the storage you actually have, and the way the home is used on an ordinary morning.
This is the cabinetry pass on 4 Paradise Island — every fitted piece in the home, drawn out room by room. The kitchen the family gathers in, and a bedroom each for the three children, every one sized to the way that room is actually lived in.
The intent is the same in every room: storage that holds a real life, joinery that stays quiet until it's needed, and a material register calm enough to live with for years rather than seasons.
How to read this proposal
The pack runs room by room — the kitchen first, then a bedroom each for Nicolas, Amelia and Cecilia. Each room is shown as the plans and elevations as they've been drawn, with the full drawing linked beneath it. Click any drawing to see it larger; the dry kitchen also has a short clip you can play.
A note on the drawings — these are proposal-stage plans and elevations. Dimensions marked EST are estimated and will be confirmed on site. Final drawings are put forward for sign-off before anything is made.
Zone I
Kitchen — Dry & Island
A dry kitchen the family lives around, and an island with a seat at it for whoever's keeping the cook company. The wet kitchen follows in a second phase.
The dry kitchen is the everyday counter — coffee in the morning, somewhere to set the shopping down, the small machines that earn their place on the worktop. The island sits in the middle of it with stools pulled up, so there's a place to sit and talk to whoever's cooking without standing in the working part of the room. Its front carries a fine fluted line so the piece reads as furniture, not a box.

Wet Kitchen Phase II
A later phase — shown here for the full picture, not part of this proposal's scope or cost.
The wet kitchen is the working room next door — hob, sink, and the heat kept behind its own doors so the cooking doesn't follow you through the house. Worktops and backers run in one stone-composite family across both rooms so they read as one home, warm-toned fronts throughout, and a line of concealed light tucked under the wall units for the early starts and late nights.

Zone II
Nicolas Room — Wardrobe & Media Wall
A bedroom that doubles as a study. A full wardrobe along one wall, and a media wall with a desk built into it on the other.
The wardrobe runs three bays — a long hang for coats and shirts, a double hang for the things that fold at the waist, and an open shelf tower for everything that lives flat. Drawers at the base for the small. Soft-close throughout, and a handle line you find without looking.
Across the room, a wall system runs the full width — a desk to work at, low drawers beneath, and open shelves climbing alongside for books and the things worth seeing, with the screen mounted on the wall above. It gives the room a place to work or play without a separate desk taking up the floor. It's drawn at two ceiling heights, so the proportion can be settled against the room as built.

Zone III
Amelia Room — Wardrobe & Desk
A wardrobe that turns into a desk — somewhere to get dressed and somewhere to sit, in one continuous run.
The wardrobe takes the hanging and the drawers, then carries on as a low run to a desk with a seat at it and a power point set into the back — a place to do homework, get ready, or just put things down at the end of the day. A few of the widths are still marked estimated; we confirm them against the wall on site before anything is cut.

Zone IV
Cecilia Room — Wardrobe & Study Wall
Hanging where it's needed and a full bank of drawers where it isn't, with a desk run on its own wall — a room weighted toward folded storage, with somewhere to sit and work.
Two hanging bays for what needs to keep its shape, and a tall bank of drawers alongside for everything that folds — the kind of storage that keeps a room calm because nothing has to live out on a chair. Soft-close throughout, the same quiet handle line as the rest of the home.
On its own wall, a desk gives the room somewhere to work — a clear top to sit at, a drawer beneath for the everyday, and open shelves climbing the side for books and the small things worth keeping in reach. Drawn at two ceiling heights, so the proportion settles against the wall as built.

The Cost, Zone by Zone
The cost lands zone by zone, in Singapore dollars, before GST — the work as drawn, in the standard surface family, with a subtotal for each zone. What's set aside — the wet kitchen for Phase II, and Nicolas's media wall while it's on hold — sits in its own table beneath, so nothing is lost. The dimensions still marked estimated are confirmed on site before anything is made, and the full written quote follows — line by line, room by room.

Why DSGN
DSGN is a Singapore design-furniture house. We make cabinetry for people who treat the home as a place where life happens, not a place to be looked at. Artisan-made locally, material-honest, built to the dimensions of the home in front of us — not a showroom.
We'd like this work to be yours, made for the way the home is already used.
Next Steps
- A walkthrough. We meet on site, take the rooms in your own words, and confirm the moves shown here against the home as it stands — including the dimensions still marked estimated.
- A design proposal. Drawings of every room — plans, elevations, sections — with material samples and finish call-outs you can hold.
- A quote. Written in full, line by line, room by room. No deposit while the design is in progress — production payment only when you sign off on the work made for your home.
