3 Criteron
One of our recently completed condominium project in Yishun area. The couple is one of our
past client who has sold their BTO flat and has requested for us to do
up their new condo. When we first gotten to know them, they just had their flat and now they have 2 bubbly and really active sons.
As it is a new condo, we strategized the areas that
required more personalised spaces like the tv console with more book
storage for their children, dining storage bench, full height storage for vacuum cleaners/brooms
where we possibly can find.
We also concealed the existing DB closet and transformed it into a shoe closet, redid the kitchen configuration a little bit due to Fengshui requirements, added a bifold door to the utility room, some bathroom ledges in the shower areas as we reckon to add our signature shower alcove wall was a little too extensive for a new condo like this although our client really loved what we did for their previous BTO bathroom...

We overlay the entire living and bedroom flooring because the couple loved our office flooring and didn't like the existing flooring that the new condo had. Overlay was definitely the first decision we made to save costs for the couple. We did a simple full height tv console for them with some open shelvings to house some photos, knick knacks and their quartz stone (fengshui).
The wife really like the brickwall idea so they asked where they could have one. Naturally the wall behind the sofa was the immediate location where we thought was suitable.
Little details like these added to the cozy home feeling! The couple had similar tastes to what we like too. A neutral palette with some wood touches. More white and grey tones in the home, like this cute elephant sitting on a grey fabric sofa.
For the dining area, we added a full wall storage with some open shelvings in case they want to house some pretty plates or bowls when serving dinner. So plates and bowls will never be too far away from the servery! They are just a hand stretch away.
A really long storage bench for sitting as well as storage. We love the pretty details here where we did for the storage bench.
The couple bought really lovely rose gold pendant lamps for the dining area. A vintage looking seiko wall clock. The dining table is extendable from castlery but it's not very comfortable to use, feedback from the husband. The extendable part is too low and his knee kept hitting against it.
We did some minor electrical works too...like the photo above, we shifted the powerpoints where the storage sitting bench was and integrate it here into the open shelvings.
Likewise for the TV console area, we redid the entire wiring cos this wall was originally meant for the sofa!!! The opposite long wall was where the tv point, data point and tel points were found. So we rewired the entire living room, added false ceiling and voila! The home owners got what they wanted.
HOUSE + LOVE = HOME
