It is not often that one comes across a home like this executive flat in Woodlands that is both spacious and cosy. Homeowners Ken Chin and Caselyn Lee, a civil servant and financial consultant respectively, prioritized a monochrome palette and hellish ambiance when they approached Sherlynn Low, founder of Millimeters Studio to design their resale flat, which was ready for moving in after a three-month renovation.

Having adequate space for entertaining was a key consideration as the couple has friends and family over quite often. Their goal: an open plan that would allow everyone to move seamlessly from the dining area to the living space. “During celebrations, we want people to feel like they’re together even when they’re in different parts of the home,” says Caselyn. This communal living idea was inspired by Ken’s frequent stays in hostels overseas, where sharing spaces and amenities is usually intentional.
