Studio Peter Tay

(Singapore)

Peter Tay of Peter Tay Studio is the celebrity interior designer to stars, such as Zhang Ziyi, Stephanie Sun and Zoe Tay. His portfolio comprises high-profiled residential and commercial projects. Peter Tay has worked on boutiques and showrooms for Richard Mille, Manolo Blahnik, Armani Casa and Poliform (Space Showroom), as well as luxury showflats for SC Global and Hotel Properties Limited (HPL), including The Met in Bangkok, Lincoln Modern, BLVD and Martin 38 in Singapore.

Best known for his sleek yet luxurious approach to design, Peter Tay's designs are contemporary and timeless, and at the same time, they encapsulate the pure essence of space that delicately accentuates the lifestyles of his clientele. He also works on the art of tailoring timeless beauty through materials and textures, which serves to guide design invention and outlines the way in which forms transform over time to envelope life. Often, his designs bridge the perceptive space between interior and exterior spaces, and explore the duality and interchangeability between architecture and interiors.

After graduating from the Architectural Association in London in 2000, Peter Tay worked with some of the leading contemporary architects before starting his own practice in 2001. Peter Tay is also an educator and a keen supporter of design. He has been lecturing for the past 12 years at various design institutions.

Peter Tay won the 'Designer of the Year' award at the President's Design Award 2014.
