Designed with a love for darker tones and a cosy yet contemporary aesthetic, this three-room flat reflects the owner’s wish for a minimalist home that is both functional and welcoming. The space was reimagined to maximise space while bringing in a quiet sense of modern living.

The kitchen, a long narrow stretch, was streamlined to suit the owner’s lifestyle. Although cooking isn’t a daily routine, generous countertop space was still essential. A concealed appliances tower was introduced, allowing bulky appliances to be hidden away and pulled out only when needed.

To further free up workspace, the fridge was shifted to sit between the living and kitchen. A move that not only created more countertop and storage within the kitchen itself but also made the fridge easily accessible during gatherings, seamlessly supporting both everyday living and entertaining.

These shifts in planning created a home that balances function with ease. That same sense of considered design continues into the master suite, which was reconfigured to include a bathtub, with the vanity relocated outward to serve as a dedicated skincare area while freeing up the bathroom. Two rooms were combined to form a larger master bedroom, allowing space for a king-size bed alongside a wardrobe, study, and vanity.

From morning routines to quiet evenings, every corner of the home feels intuitive, comfortable, and inviting.

“The design process was smooth and collaborative. Wei Teng and Simon provided expert opinions on furniture selection and colour coordination, ensuring that all elements came together cohesively.”
