The nostalgic finds housed in this contemporary three-bedroom HDB flat in Upper Changi pay homage to the homeowner's growing-up years.

The bachelor homeowner enlisted the help of an architect friend, Eugene Yip from Otherwise.

Posters, including a limited-edition print by local artist Eeshaun, fill the wall between the two bedrooms.

The homeowner wrote to the URA to get the parking sign. He admits it took a bit of bugging to get the sign, but the URA officer gave it to him in the end.

The bright pops of colour against a background of white and concrete immediately draws the eye into the space, which marries sleek aesthetics with the warmth and cosiness of an inviting living space.

The old-school public phone still works. The homeowner keeps a stash of 10-cent coins nearby to make calls with.
