Space Three -storey corner terrace with an at t ic

Location Kembangan

Reno period Around three months

Home to A couple with two kids, grandparents, and a helper

Budget $300K

Living room To make a stylish and lasting impression, a bold feature wall was placed here, crafted with fluted, mirrored and stone-look panels inset with soft lighting to enhance the ambience. A comfortable KING sofa faces two lounge chairs from Nook and Cranny with a modern coffee table placed between.

Offering up approximately 8,000sq ft of useable indoor and outdoor space as well as tall ceilings of about 3m to 3.6m, this resale home was full of potential. What it lacked was personality and polish. The terrace unit had been simply furnished, but the scant design features made the home feel somewhat unfinished and not particularly inviting nor functional for its new multigenerational family.

Starting with pretty much a blank slate, Richfield Integrated’s Senior Designer Chris Cheang and Project Manager Yishan were tasked to give the space a modern-contemporary refresh. The duo gave the home a style boost by incorporating design moments throughout, including features like an eye-catching media wall with stone-look and fluted panels as well as gorgeous double glass doors that open up into the walk-in closet, making each space feel special while still being practical and comfortable for family life.
