"Joining the layout planning party from the get-go!" exclaimed Lisa, the designer from Mu Shi Design during an interview. A family of five, blessed with three daughters, snagged this 25-ping pre-sale house. From early discussions, the fam bam was all about 'Storage Galore' and 'Private vs Public Spaces Galore.' The house, shaped like a long, slim cucumber, had just one side for natural light. The goal? A little layout tweak to welcome more sunshine and create a home that's both functional and as bright as a summer's day!
🌞 Layout Remix 🌞
Thinking about how to make the sun work overtime, the design team jazzed up the typical +1 room. They ditched the boring walls for see-through glass sliding doors and a half-wall combo. Voila! The living room now basks in the glory of two sets of windows. The study, perfect for occasional work-from-home days, and the entrance cum dining area, now houses a compact storage unit. Say goodbye to clutter! Each room also gets its own wardrobe wonderland, so no more "Where do I put this?" dilemmas.
👟 Entrance Magic 👟
The entrance, with its terrazzo dusting area and sleek linear lights, sets the scene for a dramatic transition from outside to inside. A floating storage unit extends from here to the living room TV wall, guiding the flow beautifully. A platform-style unit hides the electrical box, and a floor-to-ceiling mirror doubles as a sneaky door to a massive storage space. Talk about hidden treasures!
🛋️ Living Room Vibes 🛋️
The living room, a cozy cocoon of light and dark wood with white accents, screams comfort. Instead of boring lighting, there's a curvy wooden frame, a ceiling design that's dirt-proof (hallelujah!), and soft lighting. The hidden dehumidifier and recessed lights add functionality without sacrificing style.
🍽️ Dining Delights 🍽️
The dining area is a mix of the homeowner's favorite rattan elements, adding elegance and ventilation to the storage cabinets. The rattan theme continues in the dining chairs, complemented by wooden pendant lights. It's a unique, comfy dining nook!
📚 Study Strategy 📚
The extra +1 room, too small for a bedroom and too precious to merge with the living room, got a glow-up. An L-shaped half-wall, taller than the back of a sofa, topped with folding glass doors, lets in light without compromising privacy. Bright and right!
🛌 Main Bedroom Mastery 🛌
With the couple's extensive wardrobe in mind, two floor-to-ceiling walls were installed, embedding a TV and a vanity unit. The vanity mirror, facing the bed (a feng shui no-no), is cleverly concealed with foldable lattice doors, solving the issue and adding functionality.
👦👧 Kids' Bedrooms 👦👧
The two other bedrooms, tailored for the kids, feature simple desks and cabinets. One even has a raised floor for extra storage. The décor is minimalistic, ready for future tweaks as the kids grow and their needs change.
🔍 Secret Design Details 🔍
With a bustling family, centralized storage is a must, but so are handy storage spots in each room. The design team made sure everyone can manage their own stuff, plus they snuck in some top-to-bottom storage in the corridors. Everything's easy to store and retrieve, making the home naturally tidy and comfy.
So there you have it, folks! A house transformed into a sun-soaked, storage-smart, cozy haven, proving that with a bit of creativity, even the most mundane spaces can turn into something magical! 🌈✨
