Inside A Photographer’s Concrete HDB Home Filled With Designer Pieces

In this week’s episode, the home showcased is a thoughtfully designed HDB flat that serves as a blank canvas for its occupants. The layout exudes uniqueness, offering a spacious yet compartmentalized environment for various daily functions. The central focus of the home is the monolithic island structure in the living and dining area, seamlessly crafted from concrete to complement the micro cement floors. Different textures, including self-painted lime wash walls, add character, while carefully selected furniture maintains a comfortable balance of height in the living space. The large dining table, strategically placed in the designated living room, accommodates eight comfortably, creating an ideal space for hosting dinners and poker nights. The closed kitchen, with its removed partitions, enhances the sense of space and provides ample countertop area. Continuing the front and back of the house concept, a room within a room concept amplifies the feeling of spaciousness. Passing through the common room, used for work, reveals a vibrant “wall of fun” housing colourful items collected over time. The master bedroom, separated by a sliding door, offers a private retreat with empty walls serving as a projector backdrop. The wardrobe configuration, incorporating laminate consistency from the front of the house, conceals the entrance to the master bathroom. The master bathroom adopts a warmer tone, distinct from the rest of the house, providing a relaxing space to unwind. Despite the challenges faced in the first year of homeownership, the occupants appreciate the learning curve and find solace in spending more time at home, signifying a successful dwelling. This home showcases a well-crafted living space that prioritizes functionality and aesthetics, turning a standard HDB flat into a personalised haven.
