As professionals in the maritime and tech industry, as well as parents to two boys aged four and seven, these homeowners have their hands full these days.
So rather than trying to cultivate hobbies with the limited free moments that they have, the couple tells us that they prefer to go with what brings them joy. This includes reading (often with the kids), having family time on the balcony, heading out to parks, and going for long weekend getaways at a beach resort.
Considering how much time they spend at home, what attracted the close-knit family to this house was its bright, airy ambience and positive vibe. Plus, the balcony view was also a big draw. To update the interiors, the homeowners engaged Richfield Integrated, a recommendation from a trusted colleague.
This pairing was an instant hit. “From the very first meeting, we felt assured of their professionalism and competency. More than anything else, we were looking for reliability and quality and Richfield delivered that.”
In their brief to designer Veronica Laborte and Senior Project Manager Sean Lee, the homeowners requested for a modern and practical home with good space utilisation and an understated luxury feel. Decor-wise, they wanted the space to reflect their Indian culture, their love of nature and their zen mindset, all while keeping the aesthetic rather muted and not overwhelming.
