Growing up, Mr Edwin Tan never had a room of his own, so buying his first home in 2024 was an especially significant milestone.

"Owning the whole place means I get to build it around my lifestyle," says the 37-year-old project manager of the 871 sq ft space, a four-room Housing Board flat in Henderson Crescent.

He was drawn to the concrete walls, done in the style of Japanese architect Tadao Ando, in a project by homegrown firm Morphosis Studio. The studio was the only one he contacted that did not dismiss his ideas as overly ambitious.

For the design team, comprising lead designer Chris Lee and junior designer Chong Churan, this project was about creating a home that aligned with the client's vision and which would resonate with him emotionally.

Mr Tan wanted the spaces to transition naturally from one to the other.
