Two-bedroom unit is suffused with light, thanks to windows, screens and sculptural lamps

Ms Lynn Ng chose Mr Dennis Cheok, founder and creative director of UPSTRS, to design her home after many months of following the local firm's work.

Ms Ng, who works in finance and did not give her age, lives in an 883 sq ft two-bedroom condominium in Meyer Road. She shares the home with her daughter Tessa Liew, a 24-year-old law graduate.

"I wanted a separate and stand-alone walk-in closet, which I do not mind sharing with Tessa. I also wanted Dennis to work with a new sofa I had acquired," says Ms Ng.

The home's size and layout were challenging to work around, but proved to be opportunities in disguise for Mr Cheok.

For one thing, the private lift lobby was small, dark and claustrophobic, and did not have enough space for the owner's shoes.
