In this week’s episode, we explore a 110-square-metre, 5-room BTO flat in western Singapore designed to reflect a couple’s shared interests and adventurous spirit. Their home combines clean and raw elements, inspired by nature and museum visits.
The entryway greets guests with a cave-like design crafted from metal, cement, and fibreglass, creating depth and texture. This theme extends to the kitchen, where cove lighting accents similar materials, and a second installation in the living room evokes memories of their dive trips.
The living area encourages face-to-face interaction with low seating and flexible, reconfigurable furniture. Natural light enhances the space, with plant placements bringing the outdoors in. Instead of a TV console, the high-mounted TV serves as a gallery of travel photos, adding a personal touch.
A concrete plaster dining table, paired with angular legs and durable seating, was the first purchase, chosen for its unique design and timeless appeal.
In the kitchen, a 2.4-metre island with a sintered stone finish functions as a multi-use space, with a wine fridge, storage, and seating for guests. Pendant lighting with string lamps creates dynamic shadows, adding character to the area. The kitchen also features a gas and induction stove to accommodate diverse cooking needs, including Chinese wok dishes.
In the corridor, a long hallway effect is achieved by slicing open the master bedroom to maximize depth, with a mirror at the end to enhance the sense of length. Brown lime wash paint complements this, creating a warm, cohesive aesthetic.
The wardrobe is cleverly integrated into the corridor, making efficient use of the space without compromising style.
