The trend of transforming run-of-the-mill public housing into classy upscale units appears to be catching and it is prominent in this seemingly ordinary BTO flat unit. With the renovation undertaken by Mesh Werk Studio, the home was transformed into a picture of modern luxury. “The homeowners specified for a hotel-inspired style,” reveals the team. That transpired a clean-lined colour palette for the flat unit which is also interjected by a striking ensemble of dark woodgrained textures and metallic surfaces.

Like yin and yang, the woodgrained tones and metallic accents offer a well-balanced juxtaposition of warm and cool style elements. It anchors the main communal zones and offers a distinctive look for each room without losing the visual connection.
