When the homeowners – a family of four – approached Mark Chen of Artistroom to redesign a four-room flat in Toa Payoh, it was clear that a creative approach and substantial overhaul was needed.

In their brief, the homeowners prioritised having ample storage, easy maintenance, and adequate kitchen space as they cook often.
