This practical Ubi flat is home to a family of five and their helper

Sales engineer Mak King Hang and his wife, quality analyst Dangchat Thanatporn, wanted their new home to house a three-generation family.

Their 990 sq ft, four-room Housing Board flat in Ubi Road 3 is home to the couple; their son and daughter aged 10 and two, respectively; Mr Mak's father; and a helper.

Mr Mak, 38, and Ms Dangchat, 43, chose Ms Clarice Tay of interior design firm Concept Theory Studio to overhaul the flat.

Maximising storage and space was a priority. Mr Mak says: "We wanted a more contemporary design and Clarice was able to advise us on the layout, colour scheme and materials."

It was also important for the family that an altar be seamlessly integrated into the design.
