Great Singapore Homes | Marvellous living in an HDB flat with a unique layout

Two rooms have been demolished to create a bigger communal area that is able to accommodate a large and integrated island and dining table with ease.

A bar table in the balcony allows the family to enjoy the sunrise while having breakfast. This space also features a tatami platform, which serves as a casual, zen-like lounge area, and a subtle separation to the newly created walkway beyond.

A free-standing trapezoidal shaped room was inserted behind the living area for the daughter to engage in play. Slatted wood effect glass panels allow the parents to keep watch for her safety, and is in keeping with the woody finished interior.

A new walkway traces the perimeter of the HDB flat, and allows the family to take in the great views out the window as they walk to their rooms.

Notably, the new layout connects the rooms seamlessly, and allows the occupants to walk one full circle around their home.

A common bedroom has been split into two. Part of it has been made into a compact home office for the owners, who work mostly from home, while the larger remaining space is retained as their daughter’s bedroom.

The master bedroom is devoted to a restful ambience, with dusky tones and mood lighting setting the scene for relaxation. The bedrooms are also conveniently linked, so the couple can be close by if their daughter needs them.

The en-suite bathroom has undergone a major rearrangement. The vanity now sits within the newly carved out walk-in wardrobe, while the WC and bath area have been split into two separate zones so more people can use the space at any one time. What’s more, the bath zone is now able to accommodate a bathtub.

After knocking down a wall, the owners now also enjoy direct access to the pantry (formerly the storeroom) and kitchen from their master bedroom.

Very unique and well thought through !

Great layout and overall design innovation. Also really love the lighting and badass racing setup with the pretty bath! It does seem like a bit too many doors to navigate through around the house though and Singaporean owners also really need to move beyond this bland colour scheme from the early 2000's.

Refreshingly nice carpentry and furnishing at the balcony, together with the more conventional ziptrack and invisible grilles! I wonder what the floor plan was originally like to allow the walkway to be created?

Looks like an executive apartment instead of five-room flat.

Radical layout and interesting but the family will regret in the long tun when the daughter grows up and a bigger shock when you try to sell the flat - it ill be devalued with the lesser number of rooms.

too much money to spend. easy money for the renovators

Why every ID video needs to feature someone strolling through the house and pretending to be drinking tea or sitting down at coffee table? 😂
