Smart, sleek retouches paved the way for a breezy resort vibe in this multi-storey 2,600 sq ft (241 sqm) townhouse.
“The owners rarely watch TV shows and they do not want a console or feature wall to take up space,” says Terence Neo, design director of Eightytwo. “Their style is understated and they don’t want anything too loud, gaudy or bulky-looking.”
The living area opens onto the verandah, creating a seamless space that is airy and inviting.
Renovation Cost: $150,000
Refurbished at a cost of about $150,000, the major overhaul resulted in a look that strikes a balance between being resort-like and exuding a cosy, homey feel.
The light colours of the interiors help to make the open kitchen area look spacious and warm.
Natural Light
Full-length glass panels allow plenty of natural light to fill the indoor spaces during the day.
Living Room
A former staircase wall was knocked down, and in its place are well-spaced wooden panels, that together with the brown sofa lend a warm, cosy accent to the living room.
Door Handles
The interesting door handle design lends a touch of sophistication to the space.
Tight Corners
The design team optimised the use of tight spaces by turning them into functional areas, such as this dressing corner.
Large Windows
Plenty of large windows around the house allow light to fill the home in the day.
Master Bathroom
The glass door in the en suite bathroom in the guest room lets in natural light, with its metal frame lending a bold, sleek accent.
