The distinct personalities and unique tastes of this family of three are creatively reflected in this modernised three-bedroom penthouse unit
How do you make an already impressive three-bedroom penthouse unit with a high ceiling all the more spectacular? You give it your own personal touch, of course. That was the driving force behind the owners’ decision to renovate this top floor apartment. Along with their young daughter, the family had started off their living arrangements in the unit under the pre-existing layout and design, but decided that it was time to change the whole look and reconfigure the layout into something that would better suit their own needs and lifestyle. With designer JD Tan from local interior design firm Fuse Concept signed on to oversee the renovation, plans were then put in motion to transform their dream home into a reality.
Before embarking on the renovation process, the general consensus between homeowner and designer was that the overall look of the home should be bright and open, fitted with modern conveniences, and that it should incorporate vibrant colour palettes and more natural textures. This then paved the way for overlaying of a high-end resilient vinyl flooring from local surface manufacturer Evorich in the communal areas.
Over in the living area, a towering full-height solid plywood cabinet fully maximises the room’s double volume, offering both display and storage for the family’s collection of books and knick-knacks collected from their travels. For convenience, a custom-made mild steel sliding ladder with heavy duty caster wheels offer easy access to stored items on the higher shelves.
