For the makeover, they engaged Lush Interior Design. The brief that they shared with Don Wong, the project’s lead designer, was simple and succinct. The dwelling had to accommodate seven people – particularly the ever-changing needs of the owners’ three young ones.
“For this family, I wanted to encourage that cherished communal experience,” explains Don of the common ground’s open layout. “Combining living, dining and patio together helps promote interactions, conversations and family bonding.” To achieve this, the team had to demolish a wall that encloses the kitchen and level the floors across the adjoining living zones. As a result, the linearity of the shared areas is augmented and light is able to flow seamlessly across the space. In addition, the crew stripped off and dismantled every bit of the pad’s existing cabinets – thus, presenting an entirely clean slate for the family to begin building their dream home.
