Years later, this Victorian-inspired HDB at Kim Keat Avenue feels less designed than gently lived into—a 1,572 sqft tapestry where classic European elegance, Scandinavian minimalism, and modern functionality converse in quiet harmony.
Soft beige and off-white hues wrap the walls and ceilings, their warmth echoed by light wood herringbone flooring that weaves a gentle rhythm underfoot. Ornate wainscoting and intricate mouldings nod to history, while sleek handle-less cabinetry and clean lines anchor it in the present. Light wood furnishings and minimalist open shelving marry accessibility with artful restraint.
In the kitchen, engineered quartz mimics Carrara marble, its crisp white surfaces veined in grey stretching seamlessly across countertops and backsplashes. A curved breakfast bar blurs boundaries, guiding movement with quiet intention.
Airiness prevails through deliberate omissions. Time has collaborated here: maximalism unfolds through rich layering—stone, wood, linen—yet is balanced by the rigour of minimalist execution. Press the brass doorbell, its surface worn smooth by greetings, and step inside.
