House Tour: Before and after reno of an HDB flat with a contemporary geometric design
By Home & Decor Team -
Renovated by Free Space Intent, this HDB flat was given a modern update.
Prevoiusly, although spacious, it had a dated look and an inefficient layout. The designers gave it an eye-catching geometric look, incorporating simple, subtly textured surfaces and customised built-in carpentry.
See the before-and after-renovation photos in the following slides!

After: Living area
In the living room, the long cabinet conceals the TV behind sliding pocket doors.
Patterns, such as hexagonal tessellations, were integrated into the built-in furniture to break the monotony.
Before: Dining room
The space, with a longish layout, is also a thoroughfare that leads to the bedrooms. The extra space was used as a pantry.
After: Dining area
A small study was added, to make better use of the room's long layout. For this semi-open concept, louvred windows and glass panels in differnet sizes were installed over a half-wall.
The original kitchen wall was demolished to make way for a dry kitchen (with a smaller wet kitchen).
As for the dining area ceiling, structural beams were painted contrasting black to become a design feature.
After: Kitchen
A separate dry kitchen provides plenty more countertop and storage space. A window between the dry kitchen and wet kitchen makes serving food easier, as well as allows more light through.
After: Bathroom
The bathrooms now have a more upscale look, featuring dark tiles that have a metallic sheen.
