- Interior
Oblivion Lab has once again demonstrated how architecture and interior design can combine to create a unique experience with their latest project: a 113-square-metre flat near Bedok Reservoir. This interior is a meditation on the elemental, an eco-brutalist retreat where raw materials, light and the rituals of daily life come together to form a harmonious whole.
Upon entering, the monolithic stone structure immediately catches the eye, strategically placed at the entrance. This sculptural form acts as a silent threshold, offering privacy while also forming a subtle foyer before the house opens up. The rough surface of the stone gives the interior a tangible grounding and forms a contrasting backdrop to the dining area, where refined wood and clean geometric lines adorn the surroundings. Here, it becomes clear that tranquillity can be both gentle and powerful. The apartment combines inspiration from the work of Tadao Ando and Le Corbusier with a human approach to space. Exposed surfaces, monolithic forms and a carefully chosen material palette of wood, microcement and stone create a sense of serenity and simplicity. Every detail has been carefully considered, from the tactile textures to the spatial distribution that evokes a sense of fluid continuity. 
Oblivion Lab has not forgotten the sensory experience either. Sound plays a crucial role in the apartment: a custom-curated Sonos system fills the rooms with subtle, spatial audio that enhances the atmosphere. Art, books and Asian artefacts have been carefully integrated, giving the minimalist interior emotional depth and personal meaning. The result is a balance between sculptural power and intimate warmth. 
Every detail has been carefully chosen to strike a balance between sculptural power and intimacy.
This flat illustrates how a living space can function as an ecosystem of materials, light and rituals. It feels both contemporary and personal, a place that invites reflection, relaxation and presence. With this project, Oblivion Lab demonstrates that minimalism does not have to be empty: it can be both powerful and inviting, sculptural and human, creating a home that resonates both aesthetically and emotionally.
