BEST TRANSFORMATION

Attic Bungalow by Designworx Interior Consultant

For long-time clients, Designworx Interior Consultant transformed an awkward attic within a Bukit Timah bungalow into a sophisticated 1,410 sqft private retreat tailored to contemporary living. Conceived as a self-contained sanctuary, the reimagined level accommodates spaces for work, wellness and relaxation, including a generous walk-in wardrobe, yoga corner, lounge, study and spa-like bathroom centred around a freestanding bathtub. Design director Terri Tan opened up the attic’s layout to maximise light and spatial flow, while curved plaster ceilings soften the challenges posed by sloping rooflines and sharp gable angles. Bespoke millwork cleverly integrates storage into under-eave spaces, ensuring every inch is put to use. A warm palette of timber, bronze accents and tactile finishes lends the interiors a sense of understated luxury, resulting in a serene haven that reflects a decade-long relationship between designer and homeowner.

“This is a bold and masterful transformation of an awkward attic into a refined private retreat for living, working, and unwinding. It demonstrates exceptional creativity in turning spatial constraints into defining architectural features,” says Sabrina Long, dean of the faculty of art and design at NAFA.

“I applaud the skillful and imaginative craft of transforming difficult and awkward spaces into signature highlights that turns the owner’s wants into a unique haven,” says Hong Khai Seng, president of Design Business Chamber Singapore and founder of Studio Dojo.
