There’s nothing like a well-lived-in home as a validation to its designers that they have done a good job.

For the two directors of Wynk Collaborative, evidence of this has been present each time they visit the newly completed LM Penthouse, tucked among the hills off Farrer Road.

“The owners are big on family life. When we visited, we often saw the family members sitting in the communal areas rather than being holed up in their rooms,” says Leong Hon Kit, who makes up half of Wynk.

Certainly, the duo played a major role in overhauling the 2,510sq ft, twostorey apartment and turning it into a compelling residence for a multigenerational family. “Nothing is from the previous house other than the shell,” he quips.

What also helped was that it had “good bones” to begin with, including a pitched roof and views looking out to the canopy of the surrounding trees. Together, these factors came together to help Leong and Wynk’s other director, Si Jian Xin, design an oasis of calm.

CARVING OUT SPACE

The starting point of the complete makeover was a total reconfiguration of the layout.

On the lower floor, two rooms were carved out, including one for the owners’ relatives, and the back of the house was reorganised to occupy a smaller area without compromising on storage space. The upper floor saw the resizing of the bedrooms, especially the master, to create a walk-in wardrobe.

More importantly, the pair was determined to emphasise said “bones”.
