Designworx Interior Consultant crafts an interior worthy of this grand bungalow, done up in the style of an English manor

- 

With its black-and-white facade and proximity to Greenleaf View Park, this 6,500 sq ft bungalow has the feel of a mansion in the English countryside. Inside, the home reflects that majestic air with exquisitely articulated zones, in which luxurious furnishings elevate the airy spaces beautifully.

This seamless integration of the interior and exterior was the result of a close collaboration between the interior designer and architect. As one of the interior design companies in Singapore with a background in architecture, award-winning interior design firm Designworx Interior Consultant is intimately familiar with this approach.

"When building a home, getting your interior designer to work with your architect from the start leads to a holistic way of creating a home.

We also understand what architects want to accomplish," Terri Tan, the design director, says. "We worked closely with Gabriel Kon from GK Architects on this project. Once the building exterior and footprint were confirmed, we fine-tuned the internal spatial configurations." Such a collaborative process lays the foundation for crafting a space that truly reflects the homeowner's life story. Ultimately, the client benefits from this synergy.

Designworx Interior Consultant drew from its background in architecture to enhance the spatial experience inside the bungalow, which incorporates three storeys and a basement. For the homeowner, moving from a Good Class Bungalow (GCB) to a bungalow reflected the next phase of her life. "Our client enjoys painting vases, plates and stones.

She wanted an elegant home interior-nothing too over the topwith ample storage spaces because she was moving from a GCB to a bungalow. As most of her children have moved out, it made more sense to downsize," Tan shares.
