Gather is a lifestyle collective built around one belief: life feels richer when the spaces are warm, the food is generous, and the people you care about have a reason to stay a little longer.
Gather begins with a human instinct: we want to be with people we love.
For Libin and Daniel, that instinct kept appearing in different forms. A home that makes a family linger in the living room. A barbecue where the host actually gets to sit down. A boat that removes a group from the ordinary rhythm of the city for a few hours. Different settings, same purpose: helping people gather well.
Through InStyle Homes, the home becomes more than a finished interior. It becomes the setting for birthdays, quiet breakfasts, noisy dinners, children growing up, parents visiting and friends staying past midnight.
Through EZBBQ and Kingdom Yacht Charters, food and escape become the social glue: generous meals, effortless hosting and time on the water that gives people space to reconnect.
Gather connects the everyday and the special occasion. Start with a room, a meal, a birthday, a family reunion or simply the feeling that it has been too long since everyone sat together.
A beautiful home should not only photograph well; it should help life happen well. We look at circulation, light, comfort, storage, dining, children, guests and the rituals that turn a property into a place people belong to.

Fire changes the mood of a meal. EZBBQ turns that instinct into an easy hosting format, from DIY packages to live-grill experiences and large events — allowing the food to feel abundant without making the host disappear into the kitchen.

Sometimes the best gathering starts by leaving familiar ground. Kingdom's 54-foot catamaran creates a generous setting for families, friends, celebrations and teams — a few hours where the skyline recedes and attention comes back to the people on board.
Explore Kingdom →Gather is about the invisible architecture of a good day: enough room to breathe, food that invites sharing, and a setting that makes conversation easier. The real luxury is not more things. It is fewer distractions and better time with people.
That is why the brand moves naturally from home to table to sea. The setting changes. The emotional promise does not.
A living editorial layer about interiors, hosting, food, family life, weekends, celebrations and the small rituals that make modern life feel more human.
The new dinner party is less about perfection and more about creating a room where people know what to do with themselves.
Calm does not have to mean sterile. Texture, timber, soft light and useful objects create a home that feels lived in.
Build the menu around contrast: smoke and freshness, rich and bright, one dramatic centrepiece and plenty of easy things to share.
Singapore can feel entirely different when seen from the water. A short charter creates just enough distance to reset a group.
Buy fewer things for the home, but make each one earn its place through use, beauty, memory or ritual.
We think of lifestyle less as status and more as rhythm. Where do you put your phone when friends arrive? Can six people sit somewhere without rearranging the entire house? Does the meal let the host participate? Is there a reason for children, parents and friends to occupy the same space instead of scattering into separate rooms?
Gather exists in those questions. It is an editorial brand, a service layer and an experience curator. It helps people make thoughtful choices across home, food and leisure — then connects those choices into occasions worth remembering.
Think about where conversations start, where people pause, and how a home changes between weekday routine and weekend gathering.
Live cooking gives a gathering a centre of gravity. People watch, smell, taste, talk and move naturally around it.
Taking people somewhere unfamiliar — even for a few hours — creates a clearer beginning, middle and end to the experience.
The best gathering spaces are not necessarily the largest or most expensive. They are the ones that remove friction: a dining table people naturally drift toward, a living room that lets grandparents, children and friends share the same visual field, warm light after sunset, and enough breathing room for a conversation to change shape over the course of an evening.
That is the lens Gather brings to InStyle Homes. We are interested in spaces that perform emotionally as well as visually. A beautiful kitchen matters because breakfast happens there. A generous island matters because three people can prepare food while two others lean in and talk. Storage matters because a calm room gives the gathering space to become the focus. Design becomes less about displaying a style and more about supporting a way of life.
Our editorial approach to homes looks beyond the reveal shot. We want to know how a family actually uses a room at 7am, on a Sunday afternoon, during Chinese New Year, when friends arrive unexpectedly, or when grown-up children return with their own children. Those are the moments where a house earns the name home.
Look for seating that faces people rather than just a television, surfaces that can tolerate real life, warm pools of light, places to put a drink without ceremony, and transitions between kitchen, dining and living that let the host remain part of the conversation.
Hospitality begins before the doorbell rings. We explore how furniture placement, scent, lighting, music and a clear entry sequence can make people feel at ease within minutes.
Rounder conversations often happen when the table itself feels less formal. The editorial looks at proportion, seating, serving style and why family-style food changes the social temperature of a meal.
A home is most revealing between major occasions: after-school snacks, tea with parents, a late-night supper. We champion interiors that make those ordinary moments feel considered.
BBQ in Singapore carries a particular kind of nostalgia: chalet pits, condo gatherings, seaside cookouts, school friends meeting again, office teams relaxing after the formal part of the day. EZBBQ has been serving that culture since 2004, and its longevity matters because good barbecue is built as much on repetition and calibration as it is on spectacle.
The appeal is not simply smoke. It is the work behind the smoke: marination that needs to hold flavour over high heat, seafood that cannot be overworked, satay that should char at the edges without drying out, sambal that needs sweetness, heat and depth, and timing that keeps food arriving when it is at its best. EZBBQ says its live-grill food is cooked onsite and just-in-time rather than reheated, and its menu now spans more than 80 items across meats, seafood, sides, desserts and drinks.
For Gather, this is where heritage becomes contemporary. The menu can move from familiar Singapore BBQ signatures such as satay and sambal seafood to lamb, prawns, vegetarian skewers and chef-led LiveGrill formats without losing the social DNA of the original experience: people standing around the grill, commenting on the smell, stealing the first piece, and asking when the next tray is coming.
The best BBQ bite starts with aroma, then char, then seasoning, then the natural flavour of the ingredient. A good spread also needs contrast: richer meats beside bright vegetables, smoky items beside cleaner seafood, familiar sauces beside something fresh or acidic. That balance is what keeps a long gathering enjoyable instead of heavy.
Before anyone tastes anything, the grill tells the room that the meal has started. That sensory cue is part of the theatre.
Satay, sambal, prawns and marinated meats connect the spread to the way Singaporeans have long eaten together outdoors.
On-site grilling turns food preparation into part of the event, while allowing the host to stay present with guests.
For full-service and LiveGrill formats, setup and clearing are handled so the occasion does not end with the host facing a mountain of equipment.
“The food is important. But the real product is the extra hour everyone stays because nobody is in a hurry to leave.”
There is a point after leaving Marina Keppel Bay when the city begins to flatten into a skyline. Phones still work, schedules still exist, but emotionally the group has stepped outside everyday Singapore. That small distance is what makes a yacht gathering memorable.
Kingdom operates a 54-foot power catamaran that can host up to 42 guests, with indoor air-conditioned space, an outdoor deck and a route that typically heads toward St John’s and Lazarus Islands while passing Sentosa and the Singapore skyline. Standard charters are typically four hours, with food, BBQ, chef and private-dining options available as add-ons.
Gather turns those specifications into stories. A corporate group can move from meeting-room formality to bare feet and laughter. A family can celebrate three generations in a setting where children have space to be excited and adults have time to talk. A birthday can move from swim time in daylight to dinner as the sky changes. The yacht is not the story by itself; it is the stage that makes a different version of the group possible.
Decide what you want people to remember: the sunset, the meal, the laughter after someone hits the water, the skyline on the return journey, or simply having everyone in one place for four uninterrupted hours. Then build the charter around that moment.
Leave the city in the late afternoon and let the light do the decorating. St John’s and Lazarus become the pause point; the skyline becomes the closing scene on the journey home. Kingdom confirms its regular route toward the Southern Islands.
For selected fireworks nights and special-event sailings, the appeal is simple: gather the family or your closest friends, eat together on deck and watch the city light up from the water. Availability and viewing routes should always be confirmed for the specific event date.
Kingdom already caters for corporate groups and team-building occasions. The opportunity is to turn the charter into a real social reset: informal food, shared activities, music, conversation and a return to the city with a group that knows one another better.
People arrive, bags come aboard, the office or home routine begins to fall away.
Pass Sentosa and the skyline on the way toward St John’s and Lazarus.
Where charter conditions and the yacht's available equipment allow, water time becomes the high-energy chapter of the day. Water activities are not permitted after 7:30pm at the Southern Islands.
The journey back is often the nicest part: food finished, everyone slightly tired, skyline ahead, conversation finally unhurried.
Instead of asking which brand you need, begin with who is coming and what you want the day to feel like. Gather then composes the right mix of space, food and experience.
Grandparents seated comfortably, children excited, easy food on hand, and a deck with a view. Build the evening around anticipation rather than rushing between restaurants and crowded viewing points.
Skip the ballroom script. Start with a live grill, add music and a relaxed charter or open-air setting, and give colleagues enough structure to gather without forcing them through a programme.
Use the new space as it was intended: kitchen active, doors open, food shared, children roaming, friends moving naturally between rooms. The home becomes the experience.
Imagine a housewarming where the room has been designed for people to move naturally, an EZBBQ chef works the grill while the host actually enjoys the party, and the same circle of friends later reunites aboard Kingdom for sunset off the Southern Islands. Or a company celebration that starts with live-fire food and ends with the team laughing together on the water. Gather connects the details so the occasion feels authored from beginning to end, not assembled from separate vendors.
Plan an experience →Products and bookings sit inside the editorial only where they are useful — as the natural next step after inspiration.
Start a design conversation around how your household actually lives, hosts, rests and grows.
A chef-on-site format designed for hosts who want the theatre of live grilling without spending the entire occasion behind the barbecue.
A spacious power catamaran for family gatherings, birthdays, corporate occasions and BBQ parties, with capacity for up to 42 guests.

The concierge works directly in this page. It understands common occasions, group size, budget cues and whether your priority is home, food, sea or a combination.
The concierge will suggest the best Gather combination, explain the flow of the occasion and give you direct next steps.
Gather considers who is coming, how you want people to feel, where the gathering happens, what should be effortless, and which partner fits naturally.
Example: 30-person company celebration → Kingdom charter + informal EZBBQ LiveGrill + sunset timing + a simple social programme instead of a formal ballroom dinner.
