"Standard, boring, and dark" was how the team at Sponge interior design studio described the original condition of this three-bedroom HDB BTO flat in Punggol. Today, it is a cosy, light-filled home for 51-year-old assistant engineer Kim Joo Kang, his wife and their daughter that features an eye-catching black, white and neutral colour scheme that is the furthest thing from standard and boring.

Kim Joo wanted to engage a design firm with more than 10 years of experience. "He wanted creative design concept ideas that are different from other homeowners," says the Sponge team. Some of the keywords in the design brief were timeless but unique.

The Sponge team used predominantly neutral colours, with black and white graphic accents for eye-popping contrast. "The design concept is clean, simple and unique, with lots of natural light to the interactive spaces," says the design team.
