The Big Revamp

“Modernize a 30 year old house” - A simple brief with endless possibilities. The team at Summerhaus D’zign was tasked to breathe a new lease of life into this once tired looking 30 year old house. With close communication and free hand given, the interior architecture was largely altered, customized to meet the needs of the new homeowners.

The design intent was clear - To create a sleek, modern interior with hints of luxurious touches. Aside from the interior finishes that were all replaced, some non-structural walls were removed to make way for a more spacious, expanded flow.

Stepping into the house, the foyer is decorated with an oversized painting paired with a matching armchair and a contrasting bordered black and white floor greets guests. Slabs of book-matched marble was used in the living area, accentuated by the dark walnut tones surrounding it and contrasted by the whitish flooring.

All built-ins were intentionally aligned along one side to expand that overall space, leaving all other areas decorated by loose furniture. What was originally an odd shaped shaped kitchen, has been reconfigured to become a guest room by regularizing the walls and is also home to a dry kitchen with an island counter which lines up nicely with the dining display and TV cabinets.

Space Redefined

A sense of light hearted, cozy ambience transcends the space as one walks up to the second level. What was once the master bedroom is now converted to a very generous multi-purpose room. Along the stairs, a section of the wall was replaced with glass to allow natural light from the windows lit up the stairwell, exuding a sense of airiness and spatial expansion at this void. In the middle of the room sits a customized study table, generously housing multiple monitors which also doubles up as a gaming area for two. Right at the corner of the room sits a retro arcade machine, offering a time of reminiscence of the good old teenage days.
