Tell us about yourself. Hello! We are Gary and Hazel. We are married for 8 years and are second-time homeowners.
Can you share with us your home selection journey?
Our previous home was a 3-room BTO, and we were looking to upgrade to either a 4-room or 5-room flat. After viewing 35 units, we finally found this 4-room flat that we fell in love with! We chose this particular unit due to its excellent location—it’s a high-floor corner unit with an unblocked view and conveniently close to amenities like an MRT station, shopping mall, and healthcare facilities.
How did you both decide on the style and theme for your flat?
Both of us share a love for Japan and were drawn to the simplicity, elegance, and functionality often found in Japanese design. It was natural for us to choose a Japanese-inspired theme when designing our flat.
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve received about home design?
One of the most valuable pieces of advice we have come across is to avoid comparisons because each home has its own unique charm, layout, and potential. What truly matters is creating a space that reflects our personal style and meets our practical needs—a home where we look forward to returning each day!
