When creativity meets BTO interior design, magic happens. This airy 4-room Punggol BTO showcases how personal artistry can transform a standard flat into an inspiring creative haven.

Graphic designer and graffiti artist Adam Wang and his wife Rae collaborated with interior designer and long-time friend Melvin Tan of Hello Embryo to create a space that’s both a home and an artistic sanctuary.

Punggol HDB BTO

The 4-room HDB’s interior design philosophy revolves around maximizing space and light. Clad in calming shades of white and brown, the flat serves as a perfect canvas for the homeowners’ artistic expressions.

One of the most striking features is the innovative use of folding glass-panel doors leading to the studio space – an interior design choice that not only visually expands the area but also creates a versatile environment where living and creative spaces can seamlessly merge.

Wall pegboard

In the studio area, functionality meets artistic necessity. A cleverly installed pegboard serves as an adaptable easel system, allowing homeowner Adam to hang and view his canvases from different perspectives. This practical addition demonstrates how thoughtful BTO interior design can cater to specific professional needs while maintaining aesthetic appeal.

Punggol family home

The personal touches throughout the home tell the family’s story. A charming centerpiece created by homeowner Adam and Rae captures their family’s essence – featuring a miniature spray-paint can, one of Rae’s delicate paper flowers, and tiny baby shoes. It’s these intimate details that transform this Punggol BTO from a living space into a personal gallery.

Wood laminate carpentry

The kitchen maintains the home’s clean aesthetic with wood-lookalike laminates adorning the cabinetry. White subway tiles, arranged in an elegant herringbone pattern for the backsplash, add subtle visual interest while keeping with the overall minimalist theme. This space proves that functional areas can be both practical and visually appealing.

Home Office

As founders of their respective creative ventures – Adam’s design collective Division HQ and Rae’s origami and paper-craft brand, Paper in My Attic – the couple required a space that could accommodate both their professional and personal lives.

“We needed a studio to work in, and the combined living and studio space is where our friends can hang out and get creative,” Adam explains. This multi-functional approach to space planning is particularly relevant in modern BTO interior design.

Concrete screed vanity

The bedroom continues the home’s thoughtful design approach with a striking concrete screed wall, while the bathroom features carefully chosen grey hexagon tiles that complement the concrete screed vanity. These industrial-inspired elements add texture and depth to the otherwise light and airy home.
