She co-owns the flat with her brother and sister-in-law, and the three wanted a modern space that suits their lifestyle – they enjoy having guests over and love entertaining,” says creative director Melvin Tan, a Singaporean who’s been running his own interior design agency, Hello Embryo based in Jakarta, for the past five years.
