Inside An Architect-Designed Sleek And Stylish 5-Room HDB Home
This week, we tour a 5-room HDB at Tampines sized at 1,216 square feet. Homeowners Geoffrey and Sian Ching did not have a particular design style in mind, but they knew from the start that they wanted something modern and sleek, with black and wood accents. Where they differed from everyone else was that Geoffrey actually has an architecture background – so he could put his expertise to the test here with his own home!
One of the biggest changes was the hacking down of one of the common bedrooms, this allowed for the dining place to be situated there instead, and made the living space a lot more open and spacious.
They were also very conscious of storage spaces, hence the full-length storage where the TV is placed, this gave them lots of different storage cabinetry to store away their items neatly.
We like the seamless nature of the apartment too. The wooden fluted feature wall provides a sleek transition between the living and private spaces of the home – so much so that their friends have trouble locating where the bathroom is in the house!
Special thanks to Geoffrey and Sian Ching for showing us around their wonderfully modern home. For more please visit: https://www.mynicehome.gov.sg/home-tours/reno-journey-an-architects-home-big-reveal-pt-3/

Wisely designed and love everything concealed ❤️
Design is nice but just imagine the nightmare of cleaning in between those fluted wooden panels and the concealed panels vice versa.
Architect indeed (not to be conflated with interior designing or house staging). Can tell from the line and curves. A lot of thought appears to have been put into this. Very nice work 😮
Nice design!! Did they actually hack the walls in bedroom 2 (make it smaller) so that they can fit in the extra wardrobe behind the master bedroom door?
Decent! But kitchen and toilet a bit too dark for my liking.
Seldom see homeowners "conceal" natural lights. But then, I think they might be introverts. Ha! And it’s a beautiful home nevertheless. Well done.
Only need one word to describe the renovation……….NICE
The reno is nice, but it seems you have to turn on the aircond most of the time, since there is not much natural air flow in your design.
cute guy!
This couple is so cute.
Love this space… they’re very minimalist but cosy and uncluttered… love it.
That service yard is a game changer!
Wait… this place looks super familiar…. Is it the same one that the tefal ads were shot in?
The whole house seems very dark, even for the toilet….. limited sunlight coming in, too many concealed corners, notice that most lights have to be on even during daytime. Sleek but not practical…
When u say u are living with your mistake forever. I tot is your wife hahaha
beautiful home!, wondering about the bed frame though, is it plastic or some sort of fabric (the curved cream & green feature). Either way, going to be harder to clean, esp the nooks. hmm ..
We really like the wooden concealing doors that hide rooms away, achieving a sleek look and creating an air of mystery in the house 😂
What’s your favourite part of this home? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
Love how passionate the couple talks about their house 😘 Wished it could be longer though
Love love love it!!! ❤️❤️
Any idea where to go for the toilet custom window grill?
Wonderful video.. Just curious any idea where to get the toilet window grill covers? Really brilliant idea.
Love this
Look nice but such theme home are best suited for large landed properties with huge space, or at least high ceilings. This just feels claustrophobic
Super sleek home! Love how everything is concealed and colours of the home kept minimal💯
Stacked Homes never disappoints!
This is such a beautiful house…. very impressed. ^^
Beautiful place! I see the traits of a public servant in the lady, “why can’t this be cheaper?!?, why are we choosing this over that?” 😝😝 like a procurement expert.
I’m shocked to see that they have to turn on so many lights in bright daytime, just to get the lighting effects as "deisgned", when the valuable natural light coming from the service yard that could contribute to the kitchen and dinning areas is totally blocked, not to mention the monthly electricity bill that will follow… As an architect myself, I can totally understand that this is typical for an architect: sacrafice so many valuable things unnecessarily to just following a "design idea"…
failed architect downgraded to I/D choosing colours, space configuration,drape selection , kitchen equipment..etc…u pay I/D fees 4 architect services…win win
Very spacious and cosy for couple
where the couch from? very sleek looking!
Absolutely stunning!
I wonder how they got the AC on top of the breakfast nook cleaned.
What a cute and loving couple! Great job with your home! 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏼👏🏼🏆
The panel to cover the window was an ingenious touch.
Very beautiful and cosy, love it., ha;ppy for u both 🙂
