In this week’s episode, a 742 sqft 3-room BTO flat, is designed with a focus on spatial planning, hosting, and minimal clutter.
Their home, designed with a strong emphasis on spatial planning, aims to create a cosy, clutter-free environment for hosting family and friends. The flat is characterised by reconfigurable elements, allowing for flexibility and reducing the need for excess furniture.
Upon entering, visitors are greeted by a display shelf that holds daily necessities, gradually being populated with plants. The shelf features curved cabinet doors at the top and bottom, designed to store loose items and conceal the bomb shelter.
The kitchen island, a focal point of the home, is positioned close to the entrance for convenience, reflecting Zeeson’s childhood habit of heading straight to the kitchen upon returning home. The island, with a quartz top and grey-beige laminate, doubles as a storage unit and is where the couple often eats and entertains guests.
A fluted glass door separates the dry and wet kitchen areas, bringing in natural light and maintaining an open feel. The wet kitchen, designed for efficiency, features a darker aesthetic with patterned sintered stone countertops and backsplashes.
In the dining area, the couple chose a circular table for communal dining during intimate gatherings. A booth seat, extending from the dining room window, serves as additional seating during larger gatherings and features storage underneath for future use.
The half-circle stool from the booth seat can be placed flush with the seating to accommodate a larger table for big groups.
The living area includes a portable TV stand and a low, floor-hugging couch, ideal for movie nights with a projector screen by the window. A circular section of the booth seat was carved out to house a Japanese Everfresh tree, adding a natural element to the space.
The corridor leading to the rooms is designed as a gallery, with dark forest green walls and a spotlight intended for a yet-to-be-chosen artwork. This space also ensures privacy for the bedrooms and bathroom, offering a tranquil retreat from the communal areas.
The common bedroom, though tempting to remove for a larger living space, was retained to maximise the flat’s functionality. A pocket sliding door helps maintain the room’s space without disruption, allowing it to be used as a study or guest room.
Their thoughtful choices in material and styling reflect their love for nature while ensuring that the home remains practical, spacious, and future-proof as they grow into the space.
