The industrial look can be more than just concrete walls or exposed piping; it can appear refined as attested by the seamless integration of the industrial and luxury styles in this HDB flat unit.
Celebrating the humble materials of this pared back style with a sophisticated approach are Renee Lim and Jeffrey Lee, the co-founders of Rockin Spaces. The design duo reveals more of the design brief: “The male homeowner prefers a luxurious theme while his wife favours an industrial-meets-minimalist aesthetic. They also specified for an open-plan living space where they could entertain.”
To bear the design hallmark of the industrial style’s spacious aesthetic, the designers had to rethink the current configuration of the flat unit. Expanding the communal zones became the solution and the boundary walls for one of the bedrooms and the kitchen were then hacked away. This fresh new layout presents a larger dining space fit for entertaining while the open-concept kitchen has a fluid flow of interaction with the other communal zones.
Breaking the boundaries of space through hacking works doesn’t only apply to the floor plan; Renee and Jeffrey have meticulously put together an out-of-the-box design approach for the surface pairing of walls, floors, cabinetry and the ceiling. This interplay between industrial and luxury accents is well reflected within each zone of the home and sets off a harmonious yet distinct design identity.
