In this one-of-a-kind home, the tastes of three generations— Baby Boomer, millennial, and Gen Z-converge.

Across the ages

Like most homeowners, Horng Ann came prepared with a deck when searching for an interior designer. However, the 37-year-old creative director’s vision was met with scepticism.

“Sharing that deck earned me my fair share of side eyes from most of the interior designers I met with,” he says.

“Because my family includes my mom, who’s in her 60s, and my younger sister, who’s 25 years old, I didn’t want my home to stick to just one interior style. We all have our own styles but I wanted to create a home that brings all of our personalities.”

Designing a home for a couple is challenging enough, but balancing the preferences of three people from different generations adds another layer of complexity. However, Jax, an interior designer from Threehaus Works, was more than ready to embrace Horng Ann’s eclectic vision.

“He really surprised me by not only understanding my vision but also enhancing it with his own ideas,” Horng Ann says.

“For example, I had the idea of playing with chrome and reflective surfaces and Jax incorporated a sleek, futuristic touch into the more industrial elements of the home. This made certain areas pop in ways I didn’t expect.”

The synergy between Horng Ann and Jax is evident from the moment you step into the home. A metallic stool and breeze blocks, designed by Jax, separate the foyer from the communal areas, with the monochromatic entrance setting the tone for the maximalist living and dining spaces that follow.

“I’ve always been drawn to making different styles work together, and I love the idea of making items that might not traditionally go together feel like they belong. It’s all about creating harmony in the unexpected,” Horng Ann explains.
