Homeowners typically have a favoured interior style that they wish to emulate in their home. Most of the time it is a singular aesthetic—popular picks include Scandinavian or industrial or Muji-inspired—but there is the occasional owner who wants a mix of styles for their home. The Teos were one such family, who approached designer Michael Lau of Juz Interior with a request to deck the various spaces of their 1,115sq ft 5-room BTO apartment in an eclectic mix of Scandinavian, industrial and modern styles.

The edgy, industrial side of the overall design can be found in the communal areas like the kitchen, dining, living, and study. Unifying these spaces is a colour scheme of dark, cool tones like black, silver and brown. To create the illusion of greater space, Michael replaced the walls separating the kitchen from the dining area with a glass-panelled door and partitions. Bearing a subtle wire mesh design alluding to their industrial inspiration, the glass partitions provide the see-through effect that the owners desired whilst functionally enclosing the kitchen so that cooking fumes don’t escape.

Built-in cabinetry maximises storage in the long kitchen, which even sports a feature wall. A full height checkered steel plate is applied to the sides of a black chalkboard, which cleverly camouflages the door to the bomb shelter. When viewed from the dining area, the stucco-finished wall delineates the external face of the bomb shelter from the kitchen.
