Smart, sleek retouches paved the way for a breezy resort vibe in this multi-storey 2,600 sq ft (241 sqm) townhouse.
“The owners rarely watch TV shows and they do not want a console or feature wall to take up space,” says Terence Neo, design director of Eightytwo. “Their style is understated and they don’t want anything too loud, gaudy or bulky-looking.”
The living area opens onto the verandah, creating a seamless space that is airy and inviting.
Renovation Cost: $150,000
Refurbished at a cost of about $150,000, the major overhaul resulted in a look that strikes a balance between being resort-like and exuding a cosy, homey feel.
The light colours of the interiors help to make the open kitchen area look spacious and warm.

Living Room
A former staircase wall was knocked down, and in its place are well-spaced wooden panels, that together with the brown sofa lend a warm, cosy accent to the living room.
