TO THE MANNER BORN
The home of Astrie Sunindar-Ratner is every bit as charming and impeccable as one would expect of someone who champions the refinement of qualities little seen but deeply felt. Wide double doors open to an entryway lined with the etiquette consultant’s collection of straw hats picked up from her travels around the world. The foyer leads to a spacious, open-concept living area with floor-toceiling windows that run the entire length of the room, flooding the space with light and offering up stunning views of Orchard Road from 23 floors above ground. Off to one end of the living area is a cosily tucked-away family corner and a suite of bedrooms; to the other, the kitchen, the dining area and another two of the house’s six bedrooms.
