In this week’s episode, the focus is on a three-room HDB flat situated in the Bugis area, spanning approximately 700 sqft. The design concept, rooted in the Chinese words 动静 (movement and stillness), seamlessly integrates functionality throughout.
The dark wood panelling and textured walls establish a consistent design language, offering multiple purposes in each room, harmonizing rest and activity. The living area, demarcated from the workspace, features a cantilever table providing a floating workspace with captivating neighbourhood views.
Open shelves, louvre doors, and strategic partitions enhance spatial dynamics, promoting a balance between openness and privacy. The kitchen, transformed into a pantry and display gallery, boasts concrete flooring and countertops, highlighting a unique basin.
The tatami area serves versatile purposes, transitioning from daytime relaxation to an evening sleeping space. Art pieces, plants, and a fish tank contribute to an evolving living space, emphasizing a connection with nature.
The bathroom, embracing an open concept, features an onsen bathtub, offering city views during showers. The fusuma screen, artistically adorned, creates flexible barriers, embodying profound philosophical messages.
The study, housing a library, serves as the quiet core of the home for reconnection and reflection. Glass panels and mirrors connect rooms, fostering a harmonious flow. The Japanese rock garden and deer-scarer water feature amplify the calming effect.
Living in this home for a year has been a journey of embracing imperfections, discovering new possibilities, and growing alongside the space. It's a testament to adapting and learning, making the most of its various facets.
As always, special thanks to the homeowners for opening up their home to us.

@elisabethivey5615 4 ай бұрын

So in America my home is a huge portion of my wealth/retirement savings. Any modification, renovations, paint color all occur with the idea of resale value in mind. So it's really nice for me to take off that lens sometimes and see a home like this. I as well rarely cook, but a big kitchen is part of my home forever.

@StackedHomes 4 ай бұрын

Living outside the resale lens - refreshing perspective!

Truly SinZen! I love the louvered door. It's perfect for humid weather like ours as it encourages the airflows. Not too sure if I can be at peace with the fierce face looking at me lol. But I'm impressed with the many sectional areas for such a small space. The left brain of me though would have gone ballistic for the wasted functionality of the spaces. Definitely not your average HGTV interior design, but where's the bedroom? Now, can someone tell me where I can get the louvered door?

Very calming place. The setting is also perfect for a high end cafe. I love your main door concept but it seems pretty unsafe (break ins) as it is not a solid door.
