This well-loved travellers’ abode was updated into a brighter, airier space that yet retains its familiarity

Breath Of Fresh Air
With a passion for travel and exploration, a closed-off, dark home was not ideal for the residents of this 4-room condominium unit. They wanted plenty of natural light and space to roam freely around the house with better storage solutions and updated facilities. They did not, however, want their home to be entirely new and unfamiliar, choosing instead to incorporate many of their pre-existing pieces into the renovation.

For a bright and inviting home, the designers at Richfield Integrated opted for clean, modern lines, neutral colours and the use of natural elements. The neutral colour palette not only gives the home a fresh, contemporary look but helps the more rustic elements to blend into the new design. A number of large windows and balconies brighten up the dark laminates and stone tiles for a raw yet welcoming ambience.
