Having stayed in this flat unit for more than 10 years, the family of four decided it was time for a revamp. “Their kids are much older now and they wanted to modernise the space to cater to their lifestyle changes, “says the Story of Us design team whom was commissioned for the renovation. However, before the renovation works commenced, the designers took time to gain a deeper understanding of the family’s lifestyle requirements.

“It was a year-long affair to nail the design brief, “says the team matter-of-factly. “The homeowners have amassed a large collection of books and needed a lot more storage. They also specified a welcoming Scandinavian style to embrace their love for colours.” The last thing to check off their design brief was a home of easy maintenance and that included tucking their washer and dryer neatly under the kitchen counters.
