How A Couple Transformed Their 1,100 Sqft BTO Home With A Unique Layout

Get The Property Insights Serious Buyers Read First: Join 50,000+ readers who rely on our weekly breakdowns of Singapore’s property market.

In this week’s episode, we explore a five-room HDB home situated in the Bidadari area.
Owned by a couple with their feline companions, this 1,100 sqft residence underwent a transformation in collaboration with Ascend Design, focusing on achieving a harmonious blend of openness, privacy, and entertainment.

The entrance reveals a spacious entryway with a built-in shoe cabinet and a fluted glass partition, offering a secluded spot for a bench.

Progressing further, open shelving leads to a well-lit study area, creatively repurposing the second common bedroom into a productive space.

Moving into the central region, the common areas impress with a generous dining space, capable of hosting gatherings.

The kitchen, separated by glass doors, boasts ample storage and a sleek design, maintaining consistency with the darkwood finish seen throughout the home.

A coffee counter and a washer-dryer corner have been added in the extended service yard.

The living room features a comfortable sofa, and behind it, a dedicated reading corner complements the balcony, offering a quiet retreat.

The bedrooms are thoughtfully separated from common spaces, with the common bedroom serving as a versatile space for now.

The common bathroom showcases simple yet tasteful design, while the master bedroom impresses with a well-sectioned layout, including a display shelf, dresser, and a pocket-door leading to the master bath.
