This condominium in Bedok Reservoir Road needed only touch-ups, but the changes helped to blend functionality and aesthetics in the home
When presented with a home that is still in relatively good condition, and taking into consideration the client's tight timeline, it is prudent to not drastically overhaul the whole interior and make only necessary changes and improvements.
This was the approach taken by designer Winnie Bak from WA Dexign for this three-plus-onebedroom condominium in Bedok Reservoir Road. "As the apartment's existing condition still looks good, we did only touch-ups to some of the areas instead of major changes."
The 1,313 sq ft apartment is home to Cindy, a 46-year-old senior executive in a Iapanese multinational corporation; her 51-year-old husband, who is an IT professional; and their son, 20, and daughter, eight.
The family wanted ample built-in storage to keep clutter at bay, but was also mindful about striking a balance between form and function."We wanted a functional home that has a good blend of aesthetics with a modern contemporary theme, which incorporates primarily white and light grey colours with a bit of black to make the place look bright and spacious," says Cindy, who declines to give her full name.
