Deliberate Design

From a retractable dining table to heated towel racks, every detail of this family home was designed with functionality in mind.

Eight years ago, when Kelvin and Adeline moved into their first home as a married couple, it was Colin from Renozone who brought their vision for a four-room BTO flat to life.

Nearly a decade later, as their lifestyles evolved and they embraced parenthood with their two-year-old, they turned to the interior designer once again—this time, to renovate their four-bedroom resale condominium into a space suited for their growing family.

“We engaged them because they did a good job with our previous home. Even after 8 years, everything was still functioning and looking great,” says Kelvin.

For Kelvin, what sets Colin and his team apart is their ability to create designs that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly functional and purpose-driven. This philosophy is evident from the moment you step into their home, particularly in the open-concept kitchen—an essential feature for Kelvin, who does most of the cooking.

“Initially, the kitchen was walled up, so it's not comfortable for two people to be in the kitchen at the same time, back to back. To maintain the openness that we had gotten used to in our previous BTO, we went for an open kitchen,” he explains.
