An Extensive Makeover To Create The Perfect Future Proofed Family Dwelling

While transformations are exciting to watch, the makeover of this 10-yearold terrace house centred more on the homeowners’ realistic need for storage. “The family of five has lived here for the past decade,” reveals design director Annie Tan from Interarch Design who had worked on the first renovation. She was engaged again to work on the second renovation while her brother, Mike Tan, proprietor of lifestyle store Egg3 took charge of the interior styling.

Other than storage, it was imperative for Annie to introduce more light and space as well as a fresher outlook for the multi-storey home. They retained what they could and made significant improvements to the space configuration of the living zone and master bathroom.

A few of the things they kept are the marble flooring of the living zone and the settee next to the window. Annie had the natural stone flooring re-polished and the settee re-sprayed with a lighter tint of white to match the new colour palette. She says, “The previous colour scheme was a dark walnut colour and we toned down the woody hue with light neutrals.”
