Adaptable abode

Although the boundaries for living, working and leisure are increasingly fluid, it is still important to establish some form of segregation between these activities, even with a limited floor area.

This was a priority when the team of local design studio Artistroom worked on the four-room Housing Board flat in Ubi Road.

First-time home owners Neo Yaozhong and Chua Xiuqi, both accountants in their 30s with a baby daughter, wanted to maximise the space in the flat, which spans some 950 sq ft, so they can entertain.

Also on their wish list was a dedicated home office, and a space for Mr Neo's plants and pet fish.
