SINGAPORE - When it came to renovating their executive flat in Woodlands, having adequate space for entertaining was a key consideration for Mr K Chin and Ms C Lee as they host friends and family often.
The 20something couple wanted an open plan that would allow everyone to move seamlessly from the dining area to the living area in the 1,400 sq ft home. During celebrations, we want people to feel like they re together even when they re in different parts of the home, says Ms Lee, a financial consultant.
This idea of sharing a communal space was inspired by Mr Chin s frequent stays in hostels overseas. The civil servant and his wife also wanted a monochrome palette and hotel-like ambience.
