This week, we visit a 3-room resale HDB flat in Bugis that was built in the 1970s and is over 40 years old at this point. Homeowners Klaire and Douglas were attracted because of the condition of the place, as it was very airy and bright. Being located in Bugis also meant that it was convenient, and they had good framed views of the cityscape as well.

The theme of the home is a mid-century modern style but done up in a minimalist fashion. Hence, despite it being a 3-room HDB of 732 square feet in size, the space does feel bigger than it is on paper. They chose a combination of vinyl and tiles for the floor - with vinyl from Belgium to take up the living and dining areas, and tiles for the kitchen and bathrooms as they wanted something more practical.

From their dining area, the wall was taken down and a sliding door put in place that spans from one end to the beam in the centre. As such, they are able to both compartmentalise and open up the space as needed. One of the interesting features of the home is due to the beam, which might have been an eyesore for some but they’ve turned it into a distinguishing feature instead with the archway.

Special thanks to Klaire and Douglas for showing us around their lovely space.
