The owners of this HDB flat wanted it to feel as spacious as their former home in the UK.
SINGAPORE – When Charmaine and Mike decided to move out of their executive apartment, they knew that they wanted a maisonette in the east.
The couple – who are in their 40s and withheld their surnames – engaged home-grown firm Distinct Identity’s executive interior designer Harshita Agarwal. Removing the kitchen walls opened up a welcoming view of the open-concept kitchen and the dining and living rooms beyond. The existing utility room right beside the main entrance was also reconfigured into a pantry.A kitchen island was on the couple’s wish list. Many islands have bar seating on one side but, as the clients’ priority was storage, Ms Agarwal incorporated cabinets and drawers below the island.
The living room is now a bright and airy space. The solid roof panel over the balcony was replaced with glass to let in more natural light. New window openings on the bedroom walls around the stairwell brighten up the area. PHOTO: SPH MAGAZINES
