Combining the homeowners’ love of music and dining, the common area of this HDB flat was designed to fit a large piano as well as an oversized kitchen island. A projector goes where a TV media wall would have been incorporated, opening up the floor area. The overall design was kept simple and minimalist, allowing the young couple’s eclectic taste to fit in with the neutral, earthy tones of the home.
