WHO LIVES HERE
A family of three
HOME Four-room HDB flat in St George’s Lane
SIZE 990 sq ft
The layout and zoning of a space play as crucial a role in creating a feeling of spaciousness as its actual square footage. Home to a couple and their two-year-old son, this four-room HDB flat in St George’s Lane is one excellent example. Wanting a more spacious living and dining area for the family, the owners turned to L Architects to turn the standard HDB flat layout into something tailored to their lifestyle.
L Architects started by tinkering with the layout of the space. “We want the users to move into a bright and airy space where they feel comfortable,” says Lim Shinghui, founder and principal architect of L Architects, who helmed the project. “The interior layout has been reconfigured to form fewer but larger living spaces that allow for more natural light.”
The walls of one bedroom were removed to enlarge the living and dining areas. Next, part of the kitchen was opened up to flow freely with the dining space, which is the designated social hub of the home. “They have large extended families, so despite the flat’s modest size, they still wanted a space where they could host large family dinners,” shares Shinghui.
