Seamless doors and cleverly-planned custom carpentry conceal all the structural flaws of this old condominium unit, and prove even the most awkward of layouts can be tamed

Hide & Sleek

When Principal Designer Adrian Heng from Space-one Interior Design Consultancy first came across the floor plan of this 22-year old condominium unit, he was honestly stumped. “I had never encountered so many 45-degree angles in a floor plan before, and to the extent where there is only one regular-shaped room in this condo unit,” he says. As the initial disbelief wore off, his strong design instinct in transforming this outdated living space into a modern and luxurious abode soon kicked in.

“The homeowners really placed their trust and faith in me that I could completely turn this home around, “he says of the married couple who desired a family home to cater to their growing needs. As he worked hard on tackling the poky corners of the space through custom carpentry, he realised there was much more to the overhaul. “We completely ripped this place apart and replaced almost everything from the flooring, electrical and wiring works.”
