Inspired by Chinese courtyard houses, this BTO flat is designed around a central living area
Home owners Vanessa Tan and Landon Lim host guests almost every day.

When design principal Lim Kar Kwang from home-grown interior design studio Lite Design Collaborative was engaged to revamp the space, he was tasked with creating a bright, spacious living area and adding rounded edges across the flat for safety.
The couple, who are self-employed, also requested ample storage to reduce clutter, low-maintenance materials and a fully equipped kitchen because they cook often.
