For Mrs Lee and her family, home is a safe haven.

"Aside from physical safety, emotional and mental safety must be considered. For that, each of us needs our own personal space," says Mrs Lee, a homemaker who declined to give her full name.

She and her husband, a managing director, upgraded from a three-bedroom HDB flat to a 1,184 sq ft three-bedroom condominium apartment in the Bencoolen area in 2023.

The couple, both in their 50s, have a 13-year-old son. As nature lovers, they keep plants, fish and birds, so they needed space for all those.

The Lees roped in Mr Nicholas Heng and Mr Fly Soh from local firm SG Interior Design for the renovation, which took 3½ months and cost $140,000. The family moved into the home in December 2023.
