FUN AND PLAY

Playful touches within this spacious apartment stimulate the imagination. Take the personal tour.

Blessed with ample space in their resale executive maisonette flat, Alec Ong and Jane Lee imagined a cosy nest built along the tenets of Scandinavian design with a sense of fun to stimulate their two young children. To execute the renovation, the husband and wife engaged interior designers Rachel Lee and Steve Kum of Distinct Identity.

Given the most space, the kitchen and dining area are the heart of this home, with the Scandinavian aesthetic manipulated to maximise sunlight streaming in. To attain that ideal, the home had to be rejigged. A wall separating the staircase and the kitchen was torn down, so light could pass from one end of the home to the other unhindered.

The bright, open interiors are enhanced by a mostly white scheme complemented by light wood hues, and accents of grey and black. Rachel and Steve built an island in the open-concept kitchen next to the Castlery dining table.
