Inside A Designer’s HDB Home With Extraordinary Lighting Choices
This week, we take a tour of a truly unique and visually striking 4-room HDB flat in Punggol. The homeowners, Careen and Clement, are interior designers and lighting designers respectively, and their expertise is evident in every aspect of the flat. With a construction cost of $100,000, they took the bold step of knocking down all the walls to completely reconfigure the entire space, creating a desert and cave-inspired look that is both warm and inviting.
Homes like this are as much about the property underneath as the design on top. The right layout, block and tenure make renovations like these possible, or much harder to achieve later.
That’s often where we help readers: evaluating the property first, before committing to a big purchase.
Over time, that’s also why we decided to work with agents who shared the same data-driven and advisory-led approach behind our editorial, consultants who could help readers think through decisions more objectively, rather than simply push transactions.
Today, the team has worked with more than 2,000 clients across over $5B in property transactions.
One of the standout features of the flat is the use of materials that add to the desert theme. A rust-coloured countertop piece that they came across became the main inspiration for the look of the entire house. For the kitchen, their countertop material is also used as a backsplash, and is demarcated with a led light strip. The kitchen has been downsized to a pantry style as they don’t cook much, and the island doubles as a material library for clients, making it a functional and beautiful space.
The living room has a fireplace, which was included as part of the desert concept, and creates a cosy and intimate atmosphere. The guest room has a giant sliding door, which when opened, becomes a part of the living room, and creates an open and airy feeling. The study area features an interesting uplight near the curved ceiling, adding a touch of drama to the space.
The bathroom features a custom sink and tap, which mimic spring water and the entrance door to the master bedroom has been designed to mimic walking into a painting, adding a touch of whimsy to the space. The master bathroom is kept simple with textured tiles but has an LED ceiling to give the feeling of rays shining through, and a bathtub for relaxing after a long day.
One of the most interesting design elements is the glass cut-out in the walk-in wardrobe area, which offers stunning sea views, adding to the overall feeling of space and openness in the flat.
Join us as we explore this one-of-a-kind home, and discover the many ways in which Careen and Clement have used their expertise to create a visually stunning and functional space that is truly unique.
Special thanks to Careen and Clement for sharing with us their incredible space.
