What used to be a home shrouded in darkness has become a lively living space for the owner of this 1,270sqf, five-room flat in Havelock Road, thanks to an aesthetic intervention by Raymond Seow, principal designer of Free Space Intent.

Wood furniture adds warmth to the mostly white interiors.

The same "half-wall" concept was applied to what was initially the balcony at the end of the living space. It works to introduce more light into the home while creating a useable study area for the occupants.
