Room For Creativity

A Clever reorientaion of spaces turned this apartment into a home with an art gallery vibe.

If there’s one thing an old apartment can pride itself on, it’s the luxury of space. With some careful and detailed reconfiguration of the generous floor area, this apartment gets a new lease of life, boasting artistic touches in a spacious sophisticated setting.

As avid art collectors, the owners have already amassed an impressive collection. There are contemporary works by British and German artists, as well as local art pieces and those from Myanmar – all ready to be prominently showcased in the living room and bedrooms. “I had to take into account their collection of artworks, and also find a way to conceal the awkwardly positioned pillars. This required a good amount of joinery and carpentry works,” explains Waff Studio’s creative director, Joy Loo.

About $300,000 was spent on renovations alone – a feat well worth the price, as the transformed space and look now very much reflect the couple’s interests and lifestyle.

Kitchen confidential

 The original kitchen was demolished and redesigned closer to the dining area. It was also conceived to be a semi-open space.
