Inside An Intimate Private Dining Walk-Up Apartment With A Pottery Studio
This week, we visit a really unique space – an old walk-up apartment in Woodleigh Park. Homeowners Chun and Wen Yeu were on the lookout for something different, and when they chanced upon this older home with the air ventilation holes above the windows, they were smitten by it.
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.
The overall look with the old doors, and big windows were all part of the charm. The 921 square foot home was completely self-designed by them, that was mainly warm woody tones, and made more cosy by the lightings that they’ve installed. It’s especially important as their home also doubles up as a private dining space (Potter’s Table), as well as a pottery studio (&natural).
They turned the whole living space into a dining one, and used old furnitures from their previous home and dining furniture that they custom made to specifically fit the space.
As such, they had to transform their balcony into their living area instead. This also encompassed their garden, which they used to grow herbs for their private dining guests.
Finally, their pottery studio is actually a bigger space than their own bedroom, as they needed the space for the small kiln in the corner of the room, as well as space for ventilation for making the pottery.
At Stacked, we like to look beyond the headlines and surface-level numbers, and focus on how things play out in the real world.
