A Beautiful HDB Home In Singapore Reimagined Without Walls

We are both house ghosts who have spent a lot of time at home Therefore we want a quiet space that will allow us to stop especially when outside it sometimes feels too fast and too strong Instead of thinking about specific designs we start by imagining how we want to feel in the space Something that is open brought back and something that will disappoint us This idea guided many of our choices To have an open mind we knew from the beginning we wanted as many perspectives as possible And to bring in that sense of calm we are careful with the lighting Ensuring every part of the house feels soft and warm throughout the day We also kneel into the material and light that feel layered and natural It gives us the space to represent with intention and flexibility Letting our home grow without following the sad light We want a small space to sign the transition between outside and inside without losing air openness Therefore we built a cabinet along the wall and placed a small towel under the feet Gently to find the gathering Lowering the window slightly helps create a sense of emphasis and closure as we enter It is a small detail but it changes our feelings as we enter the house The dining area is one of the most used spaces in the house We have food to collect every day So if you need to feel comfortable and easy spending time inside We chose a lightweight green wooden table with lattice leg details Equipped with slightly comfortable chairs for long dinners like those for work There is annoying cover hole in the wall behind the table a common issue in several HDB flats Therefore instead of covering it we highlight it with a standard Travertine performance layer Its texture reminds us of the mountain range that feels meaningful as a bold organizer We also drew inspiration from Japanese hotels where textured walls are often used to add a light dimension without disappointing the space Before thinking about the whole kitchen we are ready to enjoy the food behind After searching we found this KitKat kitchen online It has a color that looks slightly retro a light texture and natural changes Made from Japanese porcelain each kitchen has slight differences in the glaze that change with light Making the surface more rugged and textured We combined it with a back cover that doesn't use it The somewhat industrial color stands out to us and it's actually durable because we did a little cooking and baking Important storage but we also don 't want to disappoint the space Therefore we combined it with an open and closed back cover One side has all our cooking equipment the other allows us to display ceramic tiles and pieces which we have gathered from our journey It's hard to choose a favorite spot in the house but the bathroom comes close Actually this unit has two fairly small bathrooms Because it's just the two of us we combined it into a larger space We drew inspiration from Hoshinoya Tokyo using darker colors in the bathroom area depending on the lighter empty area The back house has the same rope as the kitchen But in a deeper form with chocolate Quartz beach has soft ripples adding position and texture together with a little extra space We walked with Hans Grohe for most of the bathroom replacements We first experienced a rain shower in the air studio by Hans Grohe He appreciated her gentle but firm pressure We finally chose it as our home along with thermos position that makes it easy to monitor the temperature We really like the bathing experience It brings a more unhurried movement into the daily routine and makes it much more enjoyable We both work from home on multiple occasions but we don 't want the lesson to feel like it was made by Connor It needs to be flexible the space that can be adapted as our habits and routines evolve Therefore we hold it without training What fits this space is a deep orange horse-shaped kite It was once two bedrooms and a corridor which we combined into a fun living area One way we will part is by listening to music or watching a show Therefore we want this space to feel relaxed and open but still functional We spent some time looking for ideas online for the TV console wall We are looking for something that can unite this space without disappointing it We extend it slightly to the side to form an L-shape This helps to break the symmetry and gives the room a more visual side Our designer Kan Rong then suggested wood veneer instead of laminate for a natural colored variation We also chose a brown color with a warm brown tone Rich colors that recall the appearance often seen on older furnishings Nothing is too stylish or appropriate we just choose what we like and let the space come together naturally To soften the space we added a red mosaic rope in one part of the living room To create a balcony area indoors Bamboo sheets provide nostalgic warmth And before the sun creating beautiful light along the floor and console The light left in the corner with a soft glow along with some separate lights This room captures the soft cinematic feeling during the night Great to see how this space moves with the day Fresh in the morning soft and warm at night The bedroom is minimally furnished We don't need a large closet But we want to separate it a bit from the bedroom because we wake up at different times It also creates a small transitional space before entering the room using a sliding door that moves both ways With detailed and small prostate stones It is calm and minimal two black floors with dark green flooring To visually reduce space and enhance the break White and green tulips cover the window The wall lights closed the palette of people and green flowing through the whole house We loved our house from the beginning but living in it made us feel more connected to it So far we have come to see how much space is available when the design revolves around your freedom and needs It should influence how you live and feel No matter how long the day we go home feeling lighter and calmer
