This Tasteful, Contemporary 4-Room HDB Flat Features An 80s-style Terrazzo Floor

Can an existing 80’s terrazzo floor work well with a stylish, contemporary look? The answer is yes, as this Queenstown flat shows

December 9, 2021

Happe Design Atelier

“Let’s treat the house like a blank canvas and have fun with it.” That was the opener for the conversation between homeowner Alex, a healthcare professional, and design studio Happe Design Atelier when they first met to discuss the design and renovation of Alex’s four-room HDB flat in Queenstown.

The only other request that Alex made was for the home to have a contemporary look – other than that, he trusted the design studio completely. The resulting look is a collaboration between homeowner and designer, and a blend between the contemporary and existing elements where old meets new.

One of the existing elements they kept was the terrazzo floor, which Happe Design Atelier estimates dates back to the 80’s or earlier. The floor sets off the more modern design elements beautifully, lending visual contrast and texture.

Curved furniture lends architectural elegance to the living room. Grouping the furniture together in this way also makes the space feel more intimate.

In the dining room is a sideboard by Danish Design Co, where the homeowner displays their art and books. Happe Design Atelier also added ceiling beams that stretch across the living and dining areas to visually lengthen the space.

A backlit display niche is a great way to make use of vertical space and adding a luxe touch.

The kitchen is a spacious, well-lit affair that keeps to the contemporary monochrome palette.

One of the common rooms was turned into a home office. We love how the abstract art and rug lend a softness that balances out the angles of the desk and shelves, creating a space that’s contemporary yet comfortable.

In the master bedroom, Happe Design Atelier adopted a similar monochrome palette, adding mirrored elements to elevate the look.

The nightstand is built into the side of the platform bed.
