Inside An Interior Designer’s Wabi-Sabi Penthouse Home In Joo Chiat


This week, we visit a penthouse home set in the low-lying Joo Chiat. Homeowner Brandon created and designed the space for his family of 3 – and incredibly did so without any drawings of the space.
It’s a 1+1 room penthouse and at a size of 830 square feet, he had to get creative with the space. He knocked down everything that was possible, and created an open and inviting wabi-sabi space.
With neutral, simple tones, he opted for textured paint for the whole house, and vinyl floors.
Most of the furniture in the house was custom-built (like the sofa, dining table and TV console area).
On the top floor, the open-concept master bedroom features a unique slanted roof and the shower area which was previously the jacuzzi was repurposed into a cool outdoor shower.
Finally, to make the space more usable, he built a glass roof over the yard area to form an interesting study area.
Special thanks to Brandon for showing us around his inviting home.
