by Looking at this bright, airy 990sqf four-room HDB flat at Pinnacle@Duxton, it is hard to imagine the “dark and small” apartment that it was when the homeowners first got it.
Also, given the flat's compact footprint, the couple were aiming for "fluidity of space" rather than separate, distinct functions, The long, curvy custom-made cream leather sofa, for instance, was designed to serve the round dining table with seating.
To "open up" the flat, the kitchen walls had to go. A long white solid surface counter now acts as a subtle demarcation to the kitchen.
The counter also does double duty as a multi-functional top for cooking preparations, a bar and even extra desk space to the adjoining study room.
The spare room, which will become the baby's room in future, retains the original timber flooring and the off-white walls.
Curtains softly demarcate the home office, yet allow for a larger living area when drawn back.
There was enough room to fashion a cosy resting corner on the bay window ledge.
The "hotel-style" master bedroom has an open rack for the day's clothes and space for the wife's handbags.
