Our guest today
Janet Cheung
Janet Cheung is an interior designer and Studio Principal at Peter Silling and Associates with over 15 years of experience crafting hospitality spaces that move people. Born in Sydney and raised in Hong Kong, she now lives in Singapore, bringing a global eye to every project. From luxury hotels and casinos to intimate cocktail bars, she sees design as emotional choreography telling stories through space, balancing beauty with comfort, and creating experiences that leave a lasting impression.
Summary
For Janet, every space begins with a feeling. She has spent over 15 years shaping hospitality experiences that move people. A place, she says, should “guide you like music”: through arrival, build-up, pause and reveal — each note drawing you closer, not just to the space, but to the people within it.
In this conversation, Janet shares how thoughtful design can help us linger a little longer, build connection, and even heal. From the memories that spaces hold to the universal truths that transcend culture, she reminds us that behind every great interior is a story that stays with you long after you’ve left.
