Inside A Designer’s HDB Home With Extraordinary Lighting Choices

This week, we take a tour of a truly unique and visually striking 4-room HDB flat in Punggol. The homeowners, Careen and Clement, are interior designers and lighting designers respectively, and their expertise is evident in every aspect of the flat. With a construction cost of $100,000, they took the bold step of knocking down all the walls to completely reconfigure the entire space, creating a desert and cave-inspired look that is both warm and inviting.

One of the standout features of the flat is the use of materials that add to the desert theme. A rust-coloured countertop piece that they came across became the main inspiration for the look of the entire house. For the kitchen, their countertop material is also used as a backsplash and is demarcated with a led light strip. The kitchen has been downsized to a pantry style as they don't cook much, and the island doubles as a material library for clients, making it a functional and beautiful space.

The living room has a fireplace, which was included as part of the desert concept, and creates a cosy and intimate atmosphere. The guest room has a giant sliding door, which when opened, becomes a part of the living room, and creates an open and airy feeling. The study area features an interesting uplight near the curved ceiling, adding a touch of drama to the space.

The bathroom features a custom sink and tap, which mimic spring water and the entrance door to the master bedroom has been designed to mimic walking into a painting, adding a touch of whimsy to the space. The master bathroom is kept simple with textured tiles but has an LED ceiling to give the feeling of rays shining through, and a bathtub for relaxing after a long day.

One of the most interesting design elements is the glass cut-out in the walk-in wardrobe area, which offers stunning sea views, adding to the overall feeling of space and openness in the flat.

Join us as we explore this one-of-a-kind home, and discover the many ways in which Careen and Clement have used their expertise to create a visually stunning and functional space that is truly unique.

Special thanks to Careen and Clement for sharing with us their incredible space.

For some interior design professionals, if you master light, you master everything, as this is one of the great secrets to achieve incredible results in any environment that's being decorated or adapted to the user's taste. It isn't easy to work with lighting in many cases, but there is an infinite amount of resources to achieve what you want. In our living room, we just added an Arco lamp from Manhattan Home Design, and the truth is that it has helped a lot to improve the ambient lighting and is a lamp with an extraordinary design. Cheers! Thank you very much for this video.

One word - remarkable. I like how you change the whole atmosphere with your idea of dessert, cave and nature. Lighting and space planning is simply inspirational. 👏

The shot at 2:01 was great. The lighting is actually great in this house and as someone who frequents Northshore a lot, it's such a peaceful and quiet area.

[puritykhuhani]

Wow! This house makes me fall in love with interior design even more.

[Gurugurustan]

I like how they almost covered up every inch of the floor walls and ceiling and you don't see any concrete wall reminiscent of hdb and it really answered their own brief of going for a desert look and feel.

I LOve it. Omg. I like vision coming from the couple. Damn on point and really out of the box. That curve ceiling to give softer light.... genius. Damn lucky these two. What a dream home. Never thought there's such thing as lighting designer, and bloop.... yes, one definitely should consider have one too. 10/10.

I particularly like the 5:21 Basin, 6:25 Bathroom lighting and 4:30 use of corridor as study area.

Love the whole house especially the toilet (the waterfall tap) and living room!! This type of reno look and worth the $100k reno!!

[designunlimited]

The unique layout and design is inspirational. The way they re-imagined the space worked out so well. Love it! 👏👏👏

[MomoMon]

Very well designed. colours and materials comes together very nicely, especially the ceiling works. There are no awkward beams and column that just cut across the room. Most people doesn’t pay much attention to those ugly column and beams and just build around them as if they were not there and ended up with a space that look awkward or carpentry that is out of shape.

Gorgeous apartment, you both did a wonderful job !

[c.n.]

Any details on the fireplace? This home was really nice!

[irisyeo]

A bit too dark for my liking, but it exudes quite a classy ambience, though it’s supposed to be cave-like. I love the master bedroom toilet LED lighting ceiling - gives the vibes of skylight! Love it! 🥰👍

[tiffanycurtis]

[BabyDingo]

The ceiling cave light idea was genius!
