Yu Ran and his partner were turning 35 and thinking about buying a home when they hung out at the (now-closed) car parkturned-rooftop bar The Great Escape at Shaw Towers in 2019, daydreaming about living in the central area. “Then we saw this HDB block from that spot,” shares Yu Ran, referring to the block on Bain Street where they live now. “And I said: why don’t we look for a place there?”
They found the three-bedroom unit on Property Guru and went for a viewing the next day. “It was love at first sight,” recalls Yu Ran. “The flat might be 40-years old, but it had never changed ownership, and the previous owner had kept it in such good condition. We made an offer the following day and got it.” Yu Ran works in the fashion industry and his partner is in public service. Both are design aficionados who knew exactly what they wanted. They hired The Authors to help translate their vision into reality. The result is an eclectic home that feels both familiar and fresh.
