HDB flats often follow a predictable story, but when an older 3-room resale unit on Chai Chee Street undergoes a full makeover, the results can be remarkable. Designed for a young single woman, this home trades safe white interiors for vibrant patterns, deep accent colours, and bespoke carpentry.
Location: Chai Chee Street (3-Room HDB Resale)
Occupant: Single Female Homeowner
Style: Mid-Century Modern with Retro-Eclectic Details
Key Materials: Walnut laminates, navy feature surfaces, terrazzo stone, brushed brass hardware, and geometric retro floor tiles.
Project Cost: S$ 47,000
The Kitchen & Dining: Mid-Century Warmth & Industrial Edges
The kitchen and dining area serve as an open, fluid hub for both daily routines and hosting friends.
Curved Teal Dining Island: Serving as the focal dining area, a custom oval counter features a beige quartz top resting on a fluted teal-blue column leg with a brushed brass collar base.
Speckled Blue Terrazzo Sink: The Main Bathroom features a curved, wall-hung sink custom-crafted from bold blue terrazzo. It is paired with a vintage-inspired brushed brass wall tap and an arched vanity mirror.
Vertical Cream Fluted Tiles: For the Common Bathroom areas, arched vertical kit-kat tiles in a soft cream tone line the lower half of the wall, contrasting against deep blue paint above.
