In this week’s episode, explore a 4-room HDB flat in Yishun, designed with a modern interpretation of the Southern Chinese Nanyang movement.
The 980 sqft home features two bedrooms and two baths, revealing a thoughtful balance between lifestyle and spatial needs.

Beginning at the entrance, a Peranakan mosaic tile corridor provides a warm welcome, leading to a dining area with a four-to-six-seater table.

Organic-shaped pendant lamps illuminate the space, complemented by ample natural light through windows.

Moving into the living room, a minimalist TV wall and a three-seater sofa create a cosy atmosphere. A notable feature is the modern, minimalist altar area, seamlessly integrated into the home.


The kitchen, showcasing Peranakan tiles and stone countertops, offers both under-counter and over-counter storage.

The HDB’s home improvement programme updated the bathrooms, featuring an innovative hidden door. A strategically placed wall visually hides the entrance, enhancing the overall aesthetic.

The master bedroom combines a wardrobe room and a restful sleeping area, separated by an automatic curtain.


The flexible space includes a queen-size bed and side tables, providing adaptability for changing needs over time.
