Unison · Maya Bay Residences

A home that flows as one

There’s a quiet kind of luxury that doesn’t shout — it simply feels right.
At Unison, the design journey began not with grandeur, but with a simple question:

“Why does a home meant for one feel like a maze?”

The Design Challenge

The original layout was a typical dual-key unit — a format designed for two households. For a single occupant, however, it became a series of disconnected rooms behind multiple doors. The lack of continuity not only affected functionality, but also diminished the emotional warmth of the space.

A Daughter’s Gift

It was the homeowner’s daughter who first discovered Boldndot. Having followed our work for some time, she appreciated our design philosophy:
customised, considered, and always centred around how people live.
She believed her mother deserved a space that truly reflected her needs, rhythm, and peace.

The Transformation

The most pivotal change began with a decision to remove the internal wall that separated the dual-key layout.
This seemingly small demolition opened up an entirely new way of living — quite literally.

• The entrance, once a corridor of closed doors, now leads into a serene foyer where light and air circulate freely.

• The island kitchen and dining became the social heart — a place for sharing meals, laughter, and stories.

• The flexible study/guest room allows for solitude or visitors, without compromise.

• The bedroom now feels like a quiet retreat, curated with layered lighting and soft tones — a space to simply be.

Smart lighting and motorised curtains were integrated to ensure the home breathes with its owner — adjusting with time, mood, and intention.

Design Philosophy in Action

At Boldndot, we believe in dissolving what’s unnecessary in order to reveal what truly matters —
not just space planning, but life planning.

The design for Unison embodies our principle of “合适 vs 适合” — balancing what’s structurally appropriate (合适) with what’s emotionally suitable (适合) for the homeowner.

Here, form and feeling align — every wall, every light, every material chosen not only for its function, but for the kind of life it enables.

Conclusion

Unison is more than just a renovation project.
It is a daughter’s quiet devotion, a designer’s thoughtful orchestration,
and a homeowner’s well-earned sanctuary.

It is a reminder that good design doesn’t just change a space —
it restores a sense of self.
