PINS STUDIO

A family home of a couple, their two children, and the wife’s mother takes on a stylish, modern touch with a behemoth structure that serves to anchor the space in a double-height living area.

Awash in the monochromatic sleekness of black and white, this three storey semi-detached home in Setia Eco Park sprawls out over 4,500 sq ft of floor space. With four bedrooms and six bath rooms, it more than suits the needs of the homeowners: a couple, the wife’s mother, and their two children.

When the team at PINS Studio sat down to discuss the approach that they would take in designing the home, they saw that the space, like so many other older models, was in dire need of a major revamp and a strategic reshaping of its internal layout. “It was easy to see why,” says Interior Designer Tan Si Yuan. “The existing space was dull and outdated; there was also a lift constructed right in the middle of the house, which somewhat obstructed the internal flow. Looking at the home from a ‘big picture’ point of view, it was crucial to first eliminate the redundant corners and dead spaces around the key areas, so that we can free up sufficient space to work with.”
