In this week’s episode, we explore a spacious and well-designed five-room executive apartment HDB in Tampines, spanning 1,495 sqft.
This home, named “Let It Flow,” has been thoughtfully transformed to accommodate a family of four while maintaining an open and interconnected layout.

Upon entering, you’ll find a wall section with built-in shoe storage and a cosy bench nook, perfect for changing your shoes.

The home seamlessly connects the dining, kitchen, and living areas, creating a sense of openness. The entryway, dining, and kitchen feature practical tile flooring, while the living and bedroom area boasts wood tiles for a softer ambiance.

The living room offers a generous space with a three-seater leather sofa, a low coffee table, and ample distance to the TV console.

Additionally, there’s a dedicated corner for music enthusiasts and a play area for the children.

The indoor balcony, partially separated by concrete breeze blocks, serves as a bright and airy space for plants and creative projects.

Moving into the kitchen, you’ll be impressed by its size, with plenty of countertop space, storage solutions, and an island counter for family meals.

The kitchen seamlessly connects to a study area, which doubles as a workspace and play area for the children.

The master bedroom is welcoming, with a king-sized bed and a neatly tucked-in vanity area.

The corridor features deep cabinets that provide valuable storage, and there are two common bedrooms, one for each child, with simple yet versatile designs.


This home offers a blend of practicality and creativity, perfect for family living.
