The challenge of this client brief is having multizones within a 5-room new developed HDB. Basically we are relayout-ing the home space that contains new maid’s room, dry kitchen, wet kitchen, kid’s playroom, kid’s bedroom, walk-in closets and tatami bed design.
We integrated structures such as beams into part of our design. The strong wood veins and wood tone responsible to draw people attention to not focus on ceiling or walls.

1367SQFT 4-rooms condominium unit. This is the first project after I joined TMMI. Decided to knock down all of the wall for existing bedroom.
Designing ‘The Frame’ as a division for the living space yet it feels cohesive for a living space that housing many activity zones based on client requirements without adding a single partition or divider.
In terms of materials application, foyer is muted with using all white. After entering the main space, wood laminate are widely yet selectively applied to prevent overwhelm wood tone.
