Not many homeowners have the luxury of a double-volume space in their flat, so Goh Rong Yi and her husband, wanted to take full advantage of this feature in their three-bedroom unit at Eight Riversuites, and further accentuate it, too. Their designer, Keave Lim of Eightytwo, created a visual statement in the home through the addition of a spiral staircase, which is used to connect the lower floor with the newly created loft level. This style of staircase also helps to save space.
The white and light-wood furniture pieces in the dining room, such as the Boconcept dining table, match the oak herringbone-patterned feature wall. The dining pendants were bought from The Half Half Studio. Vase and tableware from Make Room.
Floor-to-ceiling windows open up the home to views of its surroundings, while allowing lots of natural light in.
For a liveable and cosy abode, Keave clad the walls throughout the living and dining area with strips of solid honey-hued white oak placed in a herringbone pattern.
The black spiral staircase makes a strong visual statement in the home.
“As the rest of the home is in a lighter hue, I chose a matte black finish for the staircase for contrast,” explains Keave.
On the loft level, Keave built a full-height shelf for the husband to display his collection of model cars. It also functions as storage space for books and knick-knacks.
This concrete industrial-style hanging lamp was customised by The Half Half Studio.
Rong Yi and her husband like Keave’s unconventional interpretation of a “walk-in” wardrobe in the master bedroom.
Keave took inspiration from Pinterest when designing the geometric- inspired shelf in the study room.
