Interior design trends come and go. With cultural shifts happening around the world, they can be as short as 5 to 10 years. Your interiors, on the other hand, should have a longer lifespan: forever. Choosing a personal, intentional style that matches the interior architecture of your home is the first step to designing spaces that you’ll love forever yet are easy enough to transform once in a while to keep things feeling fresh and inviting.
The Velaris Residences North Tower takes the lead in creating true elegance that’s effortless and intentional with units that reflect who you are, and amenities that get you to where you want to be. Designed to inspire its residents, The Velaris Residences is a three-tower residential enclave located in Bridgetowne along C5.
Developed by RHK Land Corporation, it features smart technology that makes life convenient and generous living spaces that make everyday living a joy.
The luxury condominium is a breathtaking blend of modern architecture and nature-inspired aesthetics, seamlessly incorporating Hongkong Land’s signature earth tones into its design. With this palette and within this canvas, the art of curation for your own unit begins.
So, where do you start?
We are drawn to certain colors, textures, shapes and patterns. The only way to hone in on your personal aesthetic is to explore what resonates with you. Have a look at interior design books, visit home stores that have room mockups, make time to walk through art galleries.
Think about which materials repeatedly attract you—the warmth of wood, the hardness of the metal, the transparency of glass, or the softness of the fabric. Think of the spaces that make you feel relaxed and inspired—does your energy match bohemian chic, do you find comfort in empty spaces, or warmth in tropical touches?
Unique, quality items convey a sense of intentionality and sophistication. They tell a story— your story—and evoke emotion. Keep in mind that luxury interiors are marked by standout pieces that serve as focal points in a room and start conversations.
Choose pieces that draw the eye—perhaps a stunning, large-scale artwork on an expansive wall, a sculptural coffee table, a plush or streamlined sofa, a modern chandelier on the ceiling. Whatever you choose must serve both a function and visual impact without cluttering the space like multiple small pieces do.
Luxury is often about simplicity and refinement. The reason for editing is to achieve a cohesive look. Every item in your home should serve a purpose, from the clothes in your closet to the books on your shelves and the makeup on your vanity. Each one should contribute to the functionality of your space, but also bring you joy—such as heirloom pieces that have been handed down lovingly from the generations in your family.
When identifying the key elements to put in your space, also consider your lifestyle and daily activities. If you’re drawn to minimalism but have tons of personal possessions, assess your belongings first, then choose what to keep. Consider recessed storage closets that disappear into the walls to avoid visual clutter; a kitchen appliance garage to declutter your countertop yet make it easy to reach for your coffeemaker, blender and toaster every morning.
Our aesthetic and preferences change with age and the stages of our lives. As a single professional, our spaces are all about our own needs and hobbies; as a family, a huge chunk of storage is allotted for the kids’ toys, schoolbooks and clothes; as empty nesters, we tend to pare down our surroundings and want our spaces simpler to navigate.
Inside your unit at The Velaris Residences North Tower, the spaces are designed so that you can personalize your home according to your needs. You can turn the extra bedroom into your work station, a children’s nursery or playroom, a media room or a meditation room. The layout is only limited by your imagination.
But your core needs never change: the goal remains to have a healthy, happy life at whatever stage or age you’re in. Outside your unit, The North Tower lets you enjoy daily living with amenities in line with its signature intentional design philosophy. Like your curated pieces, every amenity exists to enhance and inspire your daily life.
Starting with convenience, the tower’s facilities include five exclusive lobbies on the ground floor, eight elevators, access cards for the lifts and units, smart lockers in the mailroom, in-house security, world-class property management and services among many others that keep the rhythm of your daily life.
The amenities, meanwhile, are designed to let you achieve a work-life balance, experience true relaxation every day, and create a community. Kids can make new friends at the Kids Club, learn how to swim in their own pool or watch movies together. Families can strengthen their bonds and experience friendly competition at the Game Room and Private Theater too.
For adults working remotely, there’s a business lounge and meeting rooms should they want to work outside their units. Relaxing by the pool without having to check in to a hotel is an everyday option—with a pool bar too!
The Velaris Residences North Tower is attuned to people’s fitness and health goals, thus there are many options to achieve your goals: a badminton and pickleball court, a lifestyle gym with a dance and cycling studio to keep the blood pumping, then finish the session at the sento.
Or perhaps a more introspective kind of relaxation at the Sculpture Garden? Unwinding at the end of the day is also so convenient. Simply visit the 40th-floor Velaris Sky Club and drop by the Wine Gallery, Cigar Room, Sky Bar and Lounge, Game Room and Private Theater. Or choose from the casual and gourmet dining areas for a healthy, indulgent meal.
At The Velaris Residences North Tower, one’s investment is not just about real estate appreciation, it’s about enjoying life today and allowing yourself to focus on the things you love and the goals for your future.
