In this week’s episode, discover a unique home in Bukit Merah, a 5-room HDB flat spanning 1280 sqft. Designed with a mindful approach, this space embraces imperfections and celebrates the beauty of raw authenticity.
Upon entering, guests are greeted by a minimalist foyer adorned with an antique yoke chair, setting the tone for the space’s eclectic charm.

The common areas, including the dining, living, and kitchen, boast an open-plan layout conducive to interaction, anchored by a striking waterfall island crafted from natural granite.

The kitchen features black cabinets juxtaposed against cave-like beams, creating a bold backdrop for the space. A converted powder room and service yard offer privacy and functionality for guests.

In the living room, chunky organic furniture and a cement block TV stand challenge convention, while bi-fold panels seamlessly connect the space to the balcony, where a yakisugi bench and vinyl collection await leisurely weekends.


The dining area boasts a unique dead tree divider, evoking the beauty of autumn and adding to the space’s Wabi-Sabi aesthetic.


In the master bedroom, neutral tones and organic niches for display create a serene retreat.

Both bathrooms exude a calm, cave-like ambiance, with the master bath featuring a separate shower and bathtub.

Throughout the home, curated art pieces and meaningful accents, such as rocks collected from travels, add personal touches and spark conversation.

As the homeowners reflect on their space, they find clarity and fulfillment in pursuing their passions, truly transforming their house into a home.
