Reno@Everton - Kitchen Works

quick look at the herringbone subway tiles backsplash. Added LED tasklight under the top cabinets to make food preparation easy and bright. Look how we conceal all the electrical conduits! You only get to see the light switches and PowerPoints. Neat and clean.

Above: there's an overall photo of the kitchen counter with the tasklight on! LED is currently the trend now due to its longer lifespan and energy efficiency.

Above: opposite kitchen counter is different look where we did away the top cabinets and did only a singular shelf. As there's no cooking here, we didn't do the tile backsplash but only plaster and paint finish. And we managed to conceal all the electrical neatly and out of sight.

Above: many drawers for easy access to the deepest end of storage areas. Many feedback that swing doors are more difficult to take items out. You have to take the items out at the front before u can retrieve the items at the back. Hence nowadays people are more willing to pay more for drawers even though swing doors are cheaper.plus you don't have to bend that much for the drawers on top.

Above: full height pantry storage but we forgot to take photos of the interior! It's actually fully Blum equipped. Probably next time if we get the chance.

Reno@Everton - The New Study Area

a requirement set by the home owners was to have a study area that is next to the master. Although the original balcony is small and narrow but every inch of space is precious.

The study table is not the standard depth of a table but a narrow one like those you find at Starbucks. Small but good enough to placed your laptop and work.

Reno@Everton - Before Afters!

I get very excited to see Before-and-Afters once a reno gets done. It's quite nice to see the pre-reno photos and compare them against the Final photos when I blog. However to put them side by side takes some time to prepare. Fortunately, the new year holidays is just around the corner and I have some time to spare!

So sit back and Enjoy the series of Before After photos!

Addition of downlights for dining and living areas and we got rid of the ugly ceiling lights.

We straighten the wall, got rid of the ceiling light and replaced it with downligts by the side. Now the ceiling looks clean and bright!

Reno@324H - Renderings

Reno@324H - New Beginnings

breaking all possible walls to obtain fluidity and flexibility in a space. engaging an audience to see a space as alternative means to its original intentions. what used to be the master is no longer that but a platform for the home owners to use as a living area beside a kitchen. Once used to be the living, the dining area is visualised as a banquet hall when one steps into the main door.

how one perceives a space is different from another.
