Inside A Dreamy Remake Of A 1970s Home With A Sky-Lit Atrium


This week, we visit a landed home in the East that was designed in the 1970s. It’s part of a cluster of 4 townhouses that was built for an extended family to stay together.
Designed by Gwen Tan of Studio iF, this home was designed for a young couple planning to start a family. Named the Light House, it was inspired by the light changes throughout the home. With 3,490 square feet of built-up space, the home has an interesting play of split levels that allows for different pockets of space. The first level features the garden, dining, living and a very cosy sunken kitchen.
The salmon-coloured marble of the counter was specially chosen to help accentuate the warm colours of the space. In the living, there was a special square insertion between the living and dining to frame the view of the rear garden. Another interesting feature of the home is the sky atrium, as it brings about a lot of light into the house, and the space has been designed to allow hot air to escape at the higher levels.
The master bedroom has 2 windows that overlook the rear garden, as well as the atrium of the house. They also made sure to make everything soft and curved in anticipation of the needs of a growing child.
Special thanks to Gwen for showing us around this gorgeous family home. For more on Studio iF please visit: https://studioif.net/
