Incollect Magazine 57 I magine you’re an interior designer. Describe your dream clients. You might start with this scenario: a warm, vivacious, sophisticated couple with international backgrounds and residences in Miami, New York, and the south of France. They love living amidst a kaleidoscope of color and appreciate fine craftsmanship. Art lovers and collectors, they’re enthusiastically involved in the design process and eagerly join you on shopping expeditions to hunt for the perfect pieces. Their home is a gathering spot for friends and family, and they entertain frequently. Fun-loving, and a bit daring, they have discerning taste. You’ve developed a close relationship with them through multiple projects and truly enjoy their company. And they’ve just told you about their latest acquisition: an apartment in an ultra- luxury building in vibrant, multicultural Singapore. This is the delightful situation Mark Curley found himself in a few years ago. Curley studied architecture in his native Ireland, then moved to New York in 2002 and worked as an architect for MR Architecture + Decor, Singapore Sling Mark Curley concocts a color-drenched tropical cocktail for living Photography by MarcusL Photography
