How A Couple Transformed Their 1,100 Sqft BTO Home With A Unique Layout
November 17, 2023
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.
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.

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.
