House Tour: Ageing three-room flat in Marine Terrace gets a fresh update for new owners

1/9

Studio Myte, a multi-disciplinary design studio, was tasked to transform an ageing three-room flat in Marine Terrace into a modern home for a young married couple. To suit the couple’s lifestyle needs, the layout of the flat was entirely redesigned.

For instance, the flat had a relatively large kitchen for its size, which was deemed unnecessary so it was reduced to create more space for the adjacent dining area. As a result, an oversized 2.2m-long marble dining table and dry pantry can be accommodated.

A wooden ceiling gives a warm touch to the dining area, whilst a concealed door to the master bedroom neatens the overall look.

Although it was made smaller, the current kitchen is still perfectly functional.

As the homeowners like to host gatherings and have no immediate plans for the additional bedroom, the wall between it and the living room was removed and replaced with a folding glass door.

This doubled the size of the living room so that more people can fill the space.

But it also gives them the flexibility of creating another room when needed.

The owners get a splendid view of the sea from their study.

Unsightly power outlets are hidden by the side tables in the master bedroom.

A striking main door and geometric-patterned gate makes their unit hard to miss.
