The shots for this video are so cinematic and well done, it gives justice to this home and its zen aesthetics. 🎉 It's nice to see a good japandi style home with a nice blend of actual japanese influenced elements with modern design.
For 88 sqm compared to other smaller homes in this channel, this one feels so tight. I couldn't figure out why this layout looked so cramped especially the dining area. I think it's because the huge table and the oversized lighting covers the view and the windows making the room a lot smaller than it actually is. I liked the before. The room with the desk was nicely done though.
i get you objectively.. but to be fair, the developer's original layout for the living room is already dam constricted so ID is also constrained. imo, the BTO layout is one of the most efficient-cum-welcoming feeling (i.e. not cramped) --- even some condos seem to adopt it I feel the ID could have made the space FEEL bigger by not incorporating an invisible door in this instance .. he can make the door flush and not look like a conventional door, but NOT make it invisible (i.e. make it stand out so we know it's a door). Contrary to popular belief, knowing there is a door subconsciously makes one think there is more space available and hence feel as though the space is bigger. there are, however, useful uses of invisible doors ... i've seen them.
@@Iendleasereit I took a look back at the original layout and compared it to the renovated layout and the hidden door and storage wall in between the dining and main bedroom actually took more space from the original layout. As you pointed out the original layout was already constricted. Adding oversized table and lighting made the newly smaller layout even smaller. If this was what the client and designer wanted then great. But to me personally if felt tight and not intimate or cozy. The only time I felt less cramped in the dining area was when he opened the door knowing that were was another room there or as you put it having a visible door.
@@spong2544 Right very sterile which is ironic because they used warm woods and beautiful material. I think they really lost it on the proportions of the table, chairs lighting and even the bulky looking wall/storage.
This is something brave and well thought, people usually run away from places like this , specially the view of the crowded busy terminal! Love the thinking behind it 👏🏻❤
I LOVE this. It is so perfectly tailor made to a specific lifestyle. It would not suit me now, but would have been amazing when I was single, constantly traveling & socializing. I do understand how it might not appeal to those who haven’t had that work lifestyle - but it would have really elevated my personal & professional existence. While the view might not be everyone’s cup of tea - I think it would be intriguing, especially from a maritime perspective. The interior/exterior contrast accentuates both. And what a fine investment for rental, etc when it no longer suits. The details are divine, right down to the cabinet doors.
The location with that view of the port is unbeatable, absolutely amazing. I'm not a fan of the house layout, the amount of emphasis placed on the dining room is extreme and leads to the room being closed off and not taking advantage of the view. I would have placed the two public rooms along the south wall with the windows, and the bedroom at the north west corner where it is secluded. An interesting apartment layout, we don't often seen apartments with no lounge room. The interior design and finishing is all gorgeous, well down to the team.
Spectacular view and nice design. For the part for gathering, the guests will mainly be confined to the dinning area and Zen room, both of which, do not seem to be care-free, comfortable and cozy. I wonder who can stay seated at the Zen room for long period without getting legs numb.
The chairs look very comfy: we do have a large table too with comfy chairs (with armrests) most of the time evrybody stays seated around the table after dinner. Very common thing in Europe. The zen room is comfy to all asian people who are used to. Probab not for western people 😊
Woah they did quite a transformation to a Condo unit. Most designs I come across in Condos are more light as the home owners aim to either invest or rent out the unit. This owner seems committed to stay for a long time.
I love the zen room the most but as someone else here has commented, the location might not be worth the lofty price in the long run. Why? Well, when the port has fully moved to Tuas in the next couple of years, the new property developments (you can already get a hint in the neighbouring empty plots) will most certainly block his current lovely sea view in many angles and he might be staring into their kitchens or guest rooms.
Definitely better than my boon Keng area which has at least 10 blocks of BTOs coming up. Breathing space= 0. At least the owner can see water and a vast space here.
Love the view and some of the design, but... it doesn't feel like it has a "heart". It doesn't feel like a home. Just another place to sleep in, like a hotel room.
I think homeowners should stop taking inspiration from Japanese aesthetic for their home decor. Most of the time, they end up looking generic like a Japanese restaurant, muji showroom or onsen retreat. Unless you have Japanese roots, I really don’t see the appeal of this overdone theme 🙄
Any of u saw the Japanese designed ultra expensive condo in US? think it's on billionaire's row, the very thin like waste paper bin skyscraper, this design seems to be emulating that one and seems like it's not designed for family in mind, more for Japanese bachelor, a very niche market.

I completely agree! The cinematography really highlights the beauty of the space 🙌
The understated decor is so good and that bedroom with the view is just perfect.
Absolutely! The simplicity of the decor really enhances the space, allowing the stunning view to take centre stage. 😊

The long dining table feels like a meeting room table
@@spong2544 Agree.....but it fits the CBD vibe 🤣

Such clean lines. What an impressive dining area, a very stylish outcome for sure👌
Absolutely, those clean lines really elevate the dining space-such a refined look!
This is something brave and well thought, people usually run away from places like this , specially the view of the crowded busy terminal! Love the thinking behind it 👏🏻❤
Absolutely, it takes a lot of vision to embrace such a unique home.

It’s fascinating how spaces can reflect different lifestyles and aspirations! 😊

Interesting point about the layout-placing both public rooms along the windows would make great use of that view while opening up the space. 😊

@@livezurichlovekarin7089 FYI, most Asians nowadays do not sit on floors, so they may not be used to it just like Westerners.
beautiful peaceful space....I love it!!
The design and atmosphere create such a calming vibe, perfect for relaxation and enjoying life.
Woah they did quite a transformation to a Condo unit. Most designs I come across in Condos are more light as the home owners aim to either invest or rent out the unit. This owner seems committed to stay for a long time.
The commitment to creating a space that feels like home really shines through 😊
Really well done!
Totally, it's beautifully designed!
Pity that the entire view is going to be gone soon when they start redeveloping Tanjong Pagar terminal into housing and skyscrapers
That's such a pity, hopefully the future view will still be as pretty!
i would've made the bedroom into the living room with the wrap around windows. the bedroom is a place to sleep not stare at the waterfront.
That's a great suggestion 😊 Thanks for sharing
I don’t get the giant dinning table🤷🏼♀️ maybe it makes sense to the owner I guess but seems silly.
Renovation 10/10
Location 3/10
just checked this residence, the apartment is in the ballpark of 1.8million SGD (1.35million USD)
shenton way is at CBD which is why its so expensive
Thanks for sharing your thoughts 😊
Perfectly done in all ways. Sadly, this isn't a place I would love to live in. Way too cold and sterile
It’s beautifully executed, but I get how the style might not be for everyone. 😊
This week’s episode takes us into a serene 88 sqm retreat on Shenton Way, where the hustle of city life meets peaceful seaviews
this looks like reflections
oleady said tanjong pagar in the beginning...lol....
my guess is eon shenton.....
"interesting" view to look at everyday
It is 😊
I love the zen room the most but as someone else here has commented, the location might not be worth the lofty price in the long run. Why?
Well, when the port has fully moved to Tuas in the next couple of years, the new property developments (you can already get a hint in the neighbouring empty plots) will most certainly block his current lovely sea view in many angles and he might be staring into their kitchens or guest rooms.
And prior to enjoying the kitchen and room views, the owner will get to enjoy the sweet sounds of construction and fragrant powder of dust 😂
I was just about to ask if the seaview will disappear in a few years as Singapore's coastline and skyline seems to change every decade.
Incredibly captivating home.
Perfectly put-the kind of space that truly draws you in!
Agree
define your "beautiful sea views"
The kind of view that feels serene, vast, and open, making you feel connected to nature. 😊
Thats dock port view😂@@StackedHomes
Definitely better than my boon Keng area which has at least 10 blocks of BTOs coming up. Breathing space= 0. At least the owner can see water and a vast space here.
Love the view and some of the design, but... it doesn't feel like it has a "heart". It doesn't feel like a home. Just another place to sleep in, like a hotel room.
That's an interesting perspective. 😊
😮😮😮😮😮😮
Jaw dropping design 😄
@StackedHomes im not good speaking English that's why i only use "😯😲"
At least $5 million.
You’ll be surprised.
Maybe? 🤔
I think homeowners should stop taking inspiration from Japanese aesthetic for their home decor. Most of the time, they end up looking generic like a Japanese restaurant, muji showroom or onsen retreat. Unless you have Japanese roots, I really don’t see the appeal of this overdone theme 🙄
So true 😂 Too much of anything is bad.
I thought Japanese restaurant too for the dining area and not in a good way.
Exploring different cultural elements and mixing them thoughtfully can lead to a more unique home environment. 😊
Any of u saw the Japanese designed ultra expensive condo in US? think it's on billionaire's row, the very thin like waste paper bin skyscraper, this design seems to be emulating that one and seems like it's not designed for family in mind, more for Japanese bachelor, a very niche market.
Such a beautiful and calm space ❤
