Living Room Afternoons tend to gather here. the couch is big, intentionally—made for sinking in, limbs tangled, books half-read. sunlight moves across the rug, and we let it. there’s always music playing, and most of the clutter is soft. The Kitchen This is where most things begin. Meals, of course–but also quiet rituals: whisking matcha, pouring tea, rolling dough The open shelf holds what we reach for the most– Oils, balsamic vinegar, stories encapsulated in bottles. Always a little messy, always in use. We like it that way. Gallery Media Wall Each frame holds a little memory from our travels—some collected, some gifted. nothing is perfectly straight, and we don’t mind. the gallery wall keeps growing with us—slowly, intentionally, like most things here. The console holds more than the screen—books we return to, candles burned low, tangled cables we don’t quite want to fix. It’s where we unwind, catch our breath, and let the day fade gently in the background. Extended Balcony, Levelled The wall lamp casts a soft arc of light in the evenings—just enough to read by, or sit quietly. in the day, it’s the trees outside that fill the room. they sway gently beyond the windows, and if you’re still enough, you’ll hear the birds too. It’s a view we never tire of. Dining Corner we eat here, of course—but also write, plan, talk about the next thing. sometimes it’s quiet. sometimes it’s full of laughter and plates we haven’t cleared yet. the table has seen a lot—sauces, candle wax, story after story Coffee bar the coffee bar lives here, quietly doing its job—morning brews, afternoon top-ups, the occasional slow pours on weekends. above it, the shelf holds the small things we bring from our travels: coasters, tea tins, small ceramics that hold nothing but a lot. it’s a small corner, but it anchors the room. a pause before the day begins. The corridor that became a room we built the partition wall to separate the private and public spaces when we host. what was once a long, empty corridor now holds sound, softness, and calm. behind it lives our vinyl room—made for listening, unwinding, feeling the day shift. it’s proof that space doesn’t have to be big to be full of meaning. Now a vinyl room. our favorite one. Stacked records, the coziest couch and just enough space. it’s where we go when we need to listen. the light is moody here, we like to accompany it with drinks A Quiet Surprise tucked behind the vinyl room, the old HDB layout revealed a second balcony—almost hidden, almost forgotten. now it’s our little patio for slow tea, morning sun, and the plants that thrive in all that soft, generous light. a small, unexpected gift of space. we let it grow into something gentle.
