To describe what this interior used to be would need a considerable amount of ‘listerine’ – toilets had dusty red velvet, cupboards had decals of cupids, walls were busy with disproportionate niches, trimmings & green pinstriped wallpaper.
A liking for such Victorian look may be subjective. Maybe, but definitely not appropriate when it is inside 1 of an award-winning strata bungalow admired for its modernity and ingenuity to its relation to site. Understanding the site & designing around site constraints is akin to appreciating the architecture’s given elements while designing its interiors. |

We reinstated the interior to be coherent with its architecture - clean-cut, modern and timeless. And also updated the layout for a more enjoyable dwelling experience – demolishing a free-standing wall and its air-con ducting to double the space of the master bedroom, relocating a bathtub to create a longer vanity with 2 sinks instead of 1, carving a transitional space as a study for 2, opening the bar & dining to an extended patio to overlook the pool etc.
Interior coherence plays an important role in good interior design.
