House Tour: New swimming pool and art loft for this three-storey home in Kembangan

1/8

The Tan family appointed designer Victor Ting of The Carpenter's Workshop to renovate their two-storey home, which turned out to be a good move, as the firm specialises in remodelling and revamping older houses into modern spaces. 

2/8

The living room shows off a spacious, breezy appeal, with plain white walls and flooring, and clean-lined furniture. 

3/8

The classic hues are punctuated by a dining table and chairs in a darker shade of wood, ladder-style display shelf and trio of dining pendant lamps, all of which distinguish the space. 

4/8

Building the 12m by 3m pool initially posed some problems, as there were several inspection chambers for the underground sewers that were located at the side of the home - these had to be moved to accommodate the pool. 

5/8

The staircase's classic architectural form is played up with strong wood tones against white walls. 

6/8

As the ladies of the house enjoy painting, Victor fashioned an airy loft space for painting and storing art materials, and a comfy lounge area where the family and guests can hang out. 

7/8

Open shelves and closed cabinets cover one wall in the study, offering a variety of storage. 

8/8

A modular shelf in the lounge stores knick-knacks and books.
