In the redesign of this Studio Apartment along River Valley Road, our design goal was to turn the shoe-box living space into a functional and practical home for two. We ‘’reformatted’’ the apartment and its functions, so as to accommodate a user-friendly kitchen, a more generous living and dining space, and be able to integrate a study area that will function as a baby room in the future. Leveraging existing architectural finishes, we applied splashes of dark blue and white to complement the urban-industrial look. A major part of the overhaul involved taking out the existing kitchen and relocating it to the under-utilised front balcony – which gave the space good natural light, more storage and usable workspace. A couple of customized light fixtures fitted out with energy-saving designer bulbs were also highlights of the design.
