A Home That Brings People Together
952B Tampines
This home is all about bringing people together, a space that feels open, warm, and effortlessly stylish — perfect for hosting, relaxing, or just enjoying a quiet morning coffee. Right at the heart of it all is the kitchen, designed to blend seamlessly with the dining and living areas.
Turning a Challenge into a Feature
While it could have been seen as an obstruction, the large structural pillar at the centre of the home became a focal design feature. The island seamlessly wraps around it, integrating it into the space that doubles with the functionality of built-in storage on both sides. The cosy breakfast nook invites casual meals and conversation: whether you're cooking up a feast or sharing drinks with friends, this kitchen is designed to be both stylish and practical.
The family of three wanted an open living concept to host friends and family, so the space was designed to seamlessly integrate the living and dining areas, creating a sense of openness and spaciousness.
The foyer was designed to create a welcoming first impression while maintaining practicality. A subtle divider offers privacy from the main living space, ensuring a sense of separation without closing off the area. A sleek, built-in settee provides a comfortable spot to put on shoes, while additional storage solutions keep clutter at bay. The combination of warm wood tones and soft lighting makes this entryway both functional and inviting, setting the tone for the rest of the home.
An important design element we wanted to incorporate into the space was the use of black as a dark contrast to lighter wood tones and neutral elements. The clients wanted the home to feel cosy, but not too gentle. Hence, we incorporated some black accents to add contrast to the space. We decided to wrap the BTO doors in a black wood laminate as it brings in a certain masculinity into the home. Even the bathrooms follow this theme, with frosted fluted glass doors that let in light while keeping things private.
The entire home is designed with connection in mind. The kitchen island leads right into the dining area, which then flows into the living room—each space distinct, but all working together. In the end, it’s about creating a home that feels inviting, flexible, and just right for everyday life. Because at the end of the day, home is where you can kick back, unwind, and enjoy the simple moments with the people who matter most.
