When Ahmad bin Othman first approached Tommy of TLDesign to design his 1,184 sq ft (110 sqm) resale HDB flat in Tampines, there were plenty of changes he wanted to make.
After careful consideration and discussion, though, they decided to change the brief in order to preserve some aspects of the flat, such as the unusual green terrazzo flooring – and the end result is a space that’s both calming and visually interesting.
Sofa Facing Window
The sofa was oriented to face towards the windows, so that Ahmad could enjoy the view of the tree canopy outside his flat.
To demarcate the living and dining areas without blocking the space, Tommy placed a glass screen between the two, which not only served as a visual separator but also helped to conceal the wires leading to electrical outlets beneath the sofa.
