Bright And Spacious Interior With A Soothing, Timeless Appeal

Born and raised in Tampines, Faezah and Zulhairy were set on staying in the area when they first got their BTO flat. Having now moved into their second home, an executive maisonette, they once again stuck to the same territory, enjoying the comfort of their favourite eateries and amenities in the surrounding area.

The couple knew that they wanted more space when they sold their BTO flat. “Even though it’s just us and the cats, extra space is always nice,” shares the couple. “We wanted to get either an executive HDB flat or an executive maisonette. In the end, we went for the latter because it allows us to have our separate spaces.”

Having some renovation experience from their BTO days, Faezah and Zulhairy had clear needs and wants for their new home, including a spacious and airy design that required some hacking to open up the layout. The kitchen, however, was to remain closed. “Our previous kitchen had an open-concept layout, which meant that our cats were always sitting on the kitchen counter. This time around, I knew I wanted a closed kitchen so the cats would stay outside.”

To the couple’s dismay, the main bedroom in the flat didn’t come with an en-suite bathroom, leading them to combine two common bedrooms upstairs and hack the wall to the adjacent bathroom to achieve their dream layout. Now they essentially have two primary bedrooms with plenty of space!
