Library in living room
The living room features a library, and a black-painted wall which serves as a simple backdrop for the television.

Dual purpose furniture
A 6metre long work bench runs along the length of the common kitchen and dining wall, accommodating utensils and serving as a sideboard.

Thonet Chairs
Thonet chairs in wood and straw were chosen for the dinner table.

Demarcating space through tiles
The three main spaces: kitchen, living and dining areas were demarcated through the use of varying materials.

The kitchen, for instance, features geometric floor tiles and white matte coating on the walls, which provides a subtle contrast against the white painted walls of the dining area.

Clean Cabinets
Handle-less cabinetry create a clean and modern look.

Yellow Home Decor
Pops of yellow brighten the all-white kitchen.

8/9

Formica Blackboard
A 3.5metre workbench runs from the closet to the Formica blackboard.

Geometric Wallpaper
A geometric backdrop adds visual interest in the otherwise simple master bedroom.
