This BTO flat has pockets of interconnected spaces for various purposes and activities
Although the boundaries for living, working and leisure are increasingly fluid, it is still important to establish some form of segregation between these activities, even with a limited floor area.
This was a priority when the team of local design studio Artistroom worked on the four-room Housing Board flat in Ubi Road.
First-time home owners Neo Yaozhong and Chua Xiuqi, both accountants in their 30s with a baby daughter, wanted to maximise the space in the flat, which spans some 950 sq ft, so they can entertain.
Also on their wish list was a dedicated home office, and a space for Mr Neo's plants and pet fish.
