THE ART OF RENEWAL

Over time, homes evolve alongside their inhabitants.

- 

For this family of three in Bukit Timah, this evolution came in the form of a renewal, entrusted once again to boutique firm KGID, which had previously designed their daughter's bedroom. The six-bedroom, 6,000 sq ft landed house underwent an eight-month transformation to repair water damage and turn the interior into a light-filled, artful retreat.

“From the moment we first met, our sincerity has been the foundation of everything we do,” say Karen and Kelvin Gan, founders of KGID. “Even with a modest beginning—like a simple bedroom design—we’ve always taken full ownership and delivered with care.”

What began as a practical refurbishment became an opportunity to reconfigure the home’s spatial flow and elevate its character. KGID redefined the layout for a more harmonious and efficient use of space, creating the perfect canvas for the well-travelled owners’ collection of artworks.

LIGHTNESS OF TEXTURE

Natural light now filters through fixed glass panels into the living room, beautifully framing the property’s Japanese-inspired landscaping and blurring the boundary between the indoors and outdoors. A stone feature in one corner lends a biophilic touch, while a sculptural piece draws the eye towards the serene greenery. A Rolf Benz sofa enhances the room’s comfort, complemented by a painting in rich tones and an abstract rug that grounds the space in soft tactility and calm.
