"Reimagining a Childhood Home: A 1960s Colonial House Transformed for Modern Living"

​

This home, a 1960s Black and White colonial house in Singapore, blends the past and present with timeless elegance. For the wife, it's a cherished childhood home, now reimagined for her own family of four. The original red brick walls and French windows and doors are preserved as a tribute to the house's history, while the design adds rustic sophistication—an enduring blend of classic black and white with natural textures and earthy tones. 

​

The intention is not just to preserve, but to elevate. The house’s original design is maintained,  with black and white color scheme remains a defining feature, a classic palette that echoes through the home, while the richness of natural textures and earthy tones are introduced to add depth and warmth. We have added a 2nd floor to accommodate the growing family. The home will have the rustic charm of well-lived spaces—light, open, airy—but layered with contemporary sensibilities and elegance.
