About
Our Philosophy
The Art of Considered Design
Over a Decade of Timeless Design
Our Story
Born From a Passion
for Beautiful Spaces
Equinox Atelier was founded by principal designer Tonney Lim on a single conviction: that every home, regardless of size or budget, deserves to be designed with the same care, intention, and artistry as the world’s finest residences.
Since 2013, that belief has shaped our work across Singapore, from compact public housing apartments to private condominiums and commercial interiors. We remain a lean practice by choice, taking on a considered number of projects so each one receives the full attention of our principal designer. Our ambition is to bring the same rigour to landed homes and waterfront residences, building a body of work defined not by volume, but by the quality of every space we shape.
