Home That Captures The Unique Tastes And Personalities Of Its Occupants

The approach to this five room BTO flat’s design is simple enough; it’s all about improving the lives of its homeowners – young working couple Bonnie and Weixiong – through good design. With personal friend and architect Leong Wei Lin helming the conceptualisation of the design, and Jason Lee from ELPIS Interior taking charge of the project management and design execution, the look of every nook and cranny in this apartment was well thought-out, where great care was taken to create a varied yet complementary visual flow throughout the various rooms.

Stylish in appearance yet filled with comfort, this delightfully contemporary home is incorporated with plenty of up-to-date decor elements that highlight and communicate its owners’ sense of individuality. Meanwhile, the overlaying of large format marble-lookalike tiles on the floor further enhances the hotel-esque ambience of the home, while making the space appear larger thanks to the reduced number of visible grout lines.
