The Maison Orchid studio

The Studio

Maison Orchid.

A Singapore interior design studio composing quiet, considered spaces.

Origin

Maison Orchid was founded in 2014 by Orchid Lim, after a decade as a practising architect in Copenhagen and Singapore. The studio began with a single brief — to do quiet, principal-led residential work that lasted longer than the trends that surrounded it.

Philosophy

Quiet design is not minimal design. It is the precise edit of material, light and silhouette to make a room feel inevitable. We work the way a tailor cuts a suit — nothing extraneous, nothing missing.

The team

Small by design. Orchid leads every project alongside two senior designers and a tight, long-standing roster of trades. We deliberately limit the number of live projects each year so that the principal stays on site, not behind a screen.

The studio

Our Bencoolen showroom is open by appointment. Many of the materials we specify — European oak, hand-troweled microcement, solid brass, restored Peranakan tiles — are on display in full sample form. Touch them before you decide.

  • Spaces that photograph well but feel wrong to live in.
  • Starting construction before the design is done.
  • Handing you to a junior after you sign.
