This Sky Terrace @ Dawson loft apartment is very unique! It has a mezzanine floor and a connecting studio apartment (as part of HDB's efforts to encourage couples to live beside their parents). The homeowners spent $50,000 on renovation and focused on visually enlarging the flat, and achieve the charming vintage look they wanted through furniture and furnishings.
This reading nook is the perfect place for an Isokon Penguin Donkey (made to house Penguin books) and the wife's collection of crochet animals.
The home has character and warmth, thanks to wood tones and vintage furniture the couple have collected over the years.
They opened up the space visually by taking down the walls of the mezzanine level and removing the banisters. Working with the high ceiling, the husband chose a Haiku fan with an extended rod, which lowers the fan into the space.
The vintage wooden cabinet is home to figurines, old cameras, and items the wife makes, such as crochet coasters. Flowers by Floral Magic, tableware from Stylo Deco.
The common bathroom is kept minimal, with a simple faucet by Grohe and a copper-framed mirror that was bought online.
This bookshelf from the 1970s houses a range of old items — the wife's extensive book collection (including the first book her father gave her), board games and a vinyl record player.
