Inspired by Chinese courtyard houses, this BTO flat is designed around a central living area
Home owners Vanessa Tan and Landon Lim host guests almost every day.
The couple, both 32, enjoy spending time with their toddler son and hosting gatherings at their four-room HDB flat in Punggol.
When design principal Lim Kar Kwang from home-grown interior design studio Lite Design Collaborative was engaged to revamp the space, he was tasked with creating a bright, spacious living area and adding rounded edges across the flat for safety.
The couple, who are self-employed, also requested ample storage to reduce clutter, low-maintenance materials and a fully equipped kitchen because they cook often.
