This 5-room BTO apartment in Tengah is home to a couple in their late 30s, their two young boys and a live-in helper. From the beginning, the homeowners were clear about one thing — they did not want their home to look like every other unit in the estate. They wanted something warmer, more textured and more personal. The result is a Wabi-Sabi-inspired home that feels calm, slightly moody and deeply connected to their lifestyle and faith.

Freshly MOP-ed and thoughtfully reimagined, this 4-room resale HDB in Marsiling reflects a couple in their mid-30s who value clarity, efficiency and calm living. Shared with their sleek black cat, the home was designed to feel open, airy and effortlessly organised — a sanctuary where every line, surface and circulation path serves both aesthetics and daily routine.

This 5-room BTO in Tampines started as a true blank canvas. The homeowners opted out of the Optional Component Scheme (OCS), which meant the living, dining and all three bedrooms came without floor finishes. For some, that might feel overwhelming. For this couple — who also live with an elderly mother — it was an opportunity to shape the home exactly the way they wanted from the ground up. What followed was a renovation that carefully balanced charm and practicality, character and clarity.
