If yawning were an Olympic sport, Singaporeans might just take home the gold. A recent report highlights the alarming sleep deprivation levels in the city, with Singapore ranking third out of 43 cities in a global survey.

In response to this pressing issue, Right Angle Studio decided to take matters into their own hands, creating a self-commissioned project within a snug 115 square feet: a luxurious retreat designed specifically for relaxation. In fact, this serene space is actually one of their team member’s own bedrooms.

The design vision is anchored in geometric purity, where every interior element is meticulously aligned along perpendicular axes. At the heart of this intimate sanctuary, a pair of elevated wardrobes frames the bed, which is elegantly positioned on a raised platform. Beneath this platform lies a minimalist garden featuring desert plants and small boulders, introducing a soothing touch of nature that enhances the overall tranquility of the room.

A continuous Douglas fir ledge, seamlessly integrated with striking Himalayan green onyx, spans the space, creating a refined visual transition that elevates its aesthetic appeal. The bed is enveloped in intricate details and illuminated by subtle lamps designed by Le Corbusier, set against a backdrop of delicately fluted light onyx that fosters a warm, inviting atmosphere.

On the opposite wall, a Venetian plastered artwork beautifully contrasts with a stone-textured surface, evoking a serene connection to nature. This thoughtful design approach not only reflects the wabi-sabi ethos—celebrating the beauty of imperfection—but also embraces the tranquility it brings to the space.

In a world where restful sleep often feels out of reach, Right Angle Studio’s inspiring design is a reminder of the importance of creating personal sanctuaries within our homes. This luxurious room not only addresses the need for relaxation but also exemplifies how thoughtful design can transform a small space into a haven of serenity.
