House Tour: Industrial interiors & concrete floor for this 5-room HDB in Telok Blangah
The interiors of this 1,300 sq ft (120 sqm) five-room HDB apartment in Telok Blangah reflect the spirited personalities of its homeowners – its raw concrete flooring, blackboard walls and bare wood surfaces are the canvas for vintage details and a touch of playfulness.
The owners turned to design consultant Jane Koh of Sponge ID to create a laidback and comfortable space to entertain friends and family.
Wood Laminate Kitchen Countertop
The kitchen countertop is clad in wood laminate and adds warmth to the space.
Ligne Roset Togo Sofa
A lime green Togo sofa from Ligne Roset adds pizzazz to the open-plan industrial theme.
Reading Corner
One of the spots the couple hangs out is the sitting nook, carved out from a former bedroom space.
The current space offers a custom-made low U-shaped bench surrounding a table with built-in shelves below.
Louvred Partition
Louvred windows demarcate the space, allow diffused natural illumination into the room and lend vintage appeal.
His & Hers Drawers
Customised "His and Hers" drawers inject personality into an otherwise common, everyday project.
Mirror Sliding Door
The mirrored sliding door in the master bathroom is an ingenious device that hides one zone - the WC or shower - at any one time.
Faux Brick Wall
The bedroom's homely vibe is enhanced through its faux brick face wall; a touch of luxury is added through the shimmering mosaic wall in the shower area.
