From a standard HDB flat unit to a Balinese haven, this home to a family of three gets turned into total eye candy with creative vision and generous doses of rustic wood accents
Everything about this HDB flat spells relaxation, so much so that you’ll feel like you’ve been transported to breezy Bali while in Buangkok. Forming an incredible marriage between modern comforts and serene resort-inspired accents, Principal Designer Raymond Seow from Free Space Intent completely captured the tropical getaway experience in this humble HDB flat unit. It is evident from the minute you walk in, as foliage-inspired carvings greet you from the fretwork dividers.
“We actually customized this 2.1-m divider which is made of MDF panels,” reveals Raymond of this full-height panel which is as striking as it is lofty. It is integrated with dividers with Balinese carvings at the sides which were bought from Thailand. Featuring a majestic-looking tree motif, the front of this three-sided divider becomes a modern interpretation of the intricate craftsmanship synonymous with Balinese carvings. The seamless harmony of the contemporary MDF cut-out panels with the traditional ornately-carved dividers also becomes a running theme in the home where he skilfully fused these new and old elements as one.
