The Apartment - Celebrity Edition is the 4th season of the reality television show design competition, The Apartment which after six seasons is the longest running reality competition show in Asia.[1] The season premiered on January 25, 2015 and aired on STAR World. Unlike previous seasons, the competitors were celebrities competing as individuals for a grand prize of $100,000 to donate to their chosen charity. The judging panel included mentor-judge Jamie Durie, judge Andrea Savage, and head judge Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen.[2] Production for the season was held in Phuket, Thailand, with luxury villas provided by Castlewood Group. The show is created by Riaz Mehta and produced by Imagine Group.[3]

Format

Over 10 weeks, celebrities are given the challenge of designing one room or area in 1 of 4 luxury villas. For the first few weeks, the celebrities are divided into teams of 3 or 4 to collaborate on their designs. The winning team will receive a prize and may choose another team to share their prize with. Each team is evaluated by the three recurring judges and sometimes, with a guest judge, in the show's ""Design Court"". The losing team will face elimination and sign their stars on The Floor of Shame.[3]
