Spacious Contemplation

Urban living converges with Asian minimalism in this HDB BTO flat unit to create a well-balanced family home fit for rest, play and entertaining
Spacious Contemplation

While some homeowners hanker after trending styles like industrial and Scandinavian, the middle-aged homeowners of this HDB flat unit preferred a more relaxed family home to spend quality time with their two young adult children. “They specified for a quiet, contemplative space which leaned towards minimalistic style intluences from Japan and Taiwan,” reveals the Artistroom design team who took charge of the renovation.

Taking inspiration from airy and highceilinged Asian homes, the designers needed to figure out how to work in that spacious appeal into a HBD flat unit. The key to that was to reconfigure the layout of the flat and to maximise the natural orientation of daylight. Besides that, they needed to adhere to certain Feng Shui requirements and that culminated in them hacking away one of the common bedrooms, and rebuilding another room at the original living zone.
