About Us

Founded in 2012 by Larry Lim & Jess Koh, we have since carved a niche for ourselves as a specialist design studio for private residences.

Taking great pride in our work, we adopt a bespoke approach to customize every detail tailored to your penchants. Every project we undertake bears the unique identity of our clients. After all, it is you and your family’s personality that makes the home.

Our concepts are the result of team effort, realized through rounds of internal discussions and improvements even before presenting the first draft to you.

As designers, we seek to understand of your experiences, perception, penchants, and lifestyle to create unique spaces that belong only to you and your loved ones.

Our Philosophy

We believe that a good design goes beyond creating the most aesthetically pleasing spaces or presenting solutions that solve the most complex issues. A good design is the result of synergy when great aesthetics marry smart functionalities.

It must be able to withstand the test of time, it is timeless and more importantly, it resonates with users emotionally to evoke a sense of belonging, a sense of familiarity and joy. It simply makes one wanting to be there, stay there and feel good there.

This is what we, at Summerhaus, strive to achieve for each and every project we undertake.

Such is our philosophy:  Bespoke • Novelty - Bespoke Solutions, Novelty Designs.

A good design resonates emotionally with users to evoke a sense of belonging, a sense of familiarity and joy.
