A canvas for creativity and imagination

Content creator's self-designed resale HDB flat is full of personality

- 

When Mr Stanley Lui collected the keys to his first home in 2023, he saw it not as an empty flat, but a canvas.

His training in art school came in handy here, says the fashion content creator and digital specialist in his late 30s, who wanted to shape every part of the 721 sq ft three-room resale flat in Clementi.

He chose the unit as it was near a stop on the East-West MRT line and was within range of his parents' home.

The top-floor flat also had plenty of perks, such as a higher ceiling and good cross-ventilation. The original terrazzo flooring, still intact, served as the anchor for a Mid-century Modern palette of wood, glass and chrome.

Mr Lui spent months researching his vision before engaging designer Dennis Lim of homegrown firm Reznos Design to bring it to life. Together, they built the flat's centrepiece: an old-school glass-brick wall that separates the kitchen, wardrobe and bathroom.
