When Roxane and Max viewed the resale flat that eventually became their home, they knew they would be making quite a few changes to the space. There was nothing wrong with the five-year-old flat, but the couple wanted to tweak the cookie-cutter HDB layout to maximise the space and fit their preferences. Incorporating materials and colours that suited their personalities better became a priority for the renovation as well.
So what theme did they decide to go for? No particular theme, actually. “When people ask what the theme of our home is, we say ‘within budget,’” the homeowners joke. “A few pieces of furniture were adopted from family members’ past homes, and filling it up with newer items was a seamless process where our styles naturally blended together.”
This is where interior design agency Threehaus Works stepped in to enact the homeowners’ requirements and make sense of their creative ideas.
“We took a modern-meets-retro approach because we noticed that our clients were drawn to old-school elements and even had some hand-me-down furniture that they intended to bring to their new home,” says Joshua Wee, the project’s interior designer. “We wanted to incorporate these pieces and make sure that they blend in well with the fairly new home.”
Eclectic transformation
The kitchen went through the most extensive transformation and was even fitted with a new entertaining area for the homeowners. A wall that separated the kitchen and service yard was hacked, creating a single larger space, with an extended foyer beyond the main kitchen.
