"During the design process, the clients made it clear that the living room and kitchen were to be the focus areas, and that the two areas while distinct, are to look cohesive. Subtle nuances like using the same flooring throughout the living room and kitchen, and hacking down of some walls between the living room and kitchen were useful in achieving that.

What was particularly helpful was that the clients knew clearly what they wanted in terms of design and spatial planning. While an interior designer’s job is to create beautiful designs, an owner’s input can add a touch of uniqueness to the design, making the home truly one of a kind.

Personally for me, the favourite part of the house would be the island, which allows the owners, who like to cook, turn the cooking activity into a shared experience with family and guests. At the end of the day, it is my greatest satisfaction when the interior design of a house helps make the clients’ home become their little cosy haven."
