They were among the 40,000 residents who moved from the old flats to the new units in the same housing estate. The couple had been renting their old flat since 2015. Mrs Lee had been using the flat to rent out on Airbnb since 2016 and had been making a profit of $200 to $300 per month. The flat was fully furnished and had been decorated to appeal to tourists. The couple had also been paying a $2,000 monthly management fee to the HDB for the privilege of renting out the flat.
Renovation Goals and Objectives
The Lees family had a clear vision for their dream home, which included a spacious living area, a home office, and a dedicated playroom for their children. The renovation aimed to create a functional and comfortable living space that catered to the family’s diverse needs. • A large living area with a 12-foot ceiling height was designed to accommodate the family’s love for entertaining and socializing. • The home office was created to provide a quiet and private space for Mr Lee to work from home.
Designing a Dream Bathroom
The couple’s desire for a luxurious bathroom experience led them to design a space that felt like a high-end hotel. They wanted to create a seamless transition between the bathroom and the bedroom, making it feel like a spa-like retreat.
The couple’s design decisions were not limited to the bathroom itself.
The room is painted in a soothing colour, and the walls are adorned with a mix of framed family photos and artwork. The room is designed to be a peaceful retreat for the son, a place where he can relax and unwind after a long day at school.
The house is built on a hillside, with a large, open-plan living area that offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.
