room to play

Prioritising plenty of space for their kids to run and play in the house, the Teos upgraded to an executive maisonette in a friendly, quiet neighbourhood.

Previously staying in a 4-room BTO flat, Mr and Mrs Teo felt that their kids needed more space to play, the size of the apartment making the family feel rather cramped. Once they decided it was time to find a larger unit, they were still torn between an executive apartment and an executive maisonette, weighing the pros and cons of each space.

It was only when they consulted the kids and found out the little ones wanted stairs in the house that they settled on finding an executive maisonette. Even then, it took multiple viewings before they settled on their current home.

Conveniently located in a mature estate in the west of Singapore, it boasts lots of amenities nearby, a communal neighbourhood spirit and a tranquil ambience away from the main road.

As for the design of the new house, the couple wanted to change things up from their old BTO flat. “Our previous home had a darker theme. We find that with kids, we now prefer something brighter and more cheerful. We took inspiration from Pinterest and decided on a milky white theme with some pink accents.”

Diving a little deeper into the Teos’ renovation journey and family life, we caught up with the couple to find out more.
