With its soft finishes, this couple's home is comfortable enough for visitors to nap in

Cosy curves

A home often reflects the personalities, philosophies and aspirations of its occupants. With its soft colours and curves, this home's calming ambience invites a person to slow down and relax.

Owners Clarence, an actuary, and home-based baker Jiahui, who are in their early 30s and did not give their surnames, describe themselves as people who take things easy.

"Clarence's work can be stressful, so we tend not to get bothered about other stuff," Jiahui says.

The couple have lived in the four-room Build-To-Order unit in Eunos since December 2023, after a $90,000 renovation that took around four months. They chose the location for its convenience — it takes just 20 minutes to get to Clarence's workplace and proximity to his parents' home.
