about

In this project, we undertook the transformation of a compact condominium in Singapore into a warm, inviting sanctuary tailored to the unique lifestyle of a couple. Small spaces often come with significant challenges, but through careful planning and innovative design, we unlocked the true potential of this home, ensuring every square meter was utilized to its fullest.

The design journey began with a complete reconfiguration of the interior layout. Recognizing the original flow did not optimize the available space, we reversed the placement of the dining and living areas. This adjustment not only enhanced functionality but also created a more balanced and harmonious arrangement. By bridging the kitchen with the backyard, we introduced a sense of openness, allowing natural light to flood the interiors and creating a seamless connection between the spaces. This integration brought a newfound flexibility to the home, making it feel airy and expansive.

Storage, a crucial element in compact living, was incorporated seamlessly into the design. From hidden compartments to custom-built furniture, we implemented solutions that balance practicality with aesthetics. The couple's daily living experience was further enhanced by these thoughtful touches, ensuring the home remained clutter-free while still being highly functional.

Special attention was given to personalizing the private spaces within the home. The master bedroom, bathrooms, and study were redesigned with the couple's preferences and lifestyle needs in mind. Soft, neutral palettes were paired with textures and materials that evoke warmth and intimacy. The study, in particular, was curated to serve as a tranquil retreat, featuring ergonomic furniture and natural light to create a productive yet relaxing atmosphere.

Throughout the design process, collaboration with the clients was paramount. Their input and vision guided every decision, from the selection of finishes to the layout adjustments. This partnership ensured the final result was a home that not only met but exceeded their expectations—a space that feels uniquely theirs.

This project underscores the transformative power of thoughtful interior design, particularly in smaller spaces. With meticulous attention to detail and a creative approach, we turned what could have been a challenging layout into a home that is both practical and deeply personal. It stands as a testament to the belief that even the smallest spaces can become extraordinary when infused with purpose and heart.
