This family previously lived in a landed property, but moving to their 1,970 sq ft jumbo flat in Woodlands doesn’t feel like a downsize to them.
Their brief to interior designer Edrick Wong of Prozfile was for a look that was “raw and industrial”, yet there had to be “poise and elegance in the rawness”.
One of the two living rooms was turned into a dedicated reading room, in which a new whitewashed brick wall, quirky designer seats and a painting set the tone for peaceful study.
Cement Screed Walls
Indeed, the interior is understatedly edgy, with cement screed walls and ceilings.
Slide open the oversized, modernist-inspired black-framed glass sliding doors, and natural light and breeze from the main foyer area flood in.

Original Marble Floor
The original marble and parquet floors were left intact and given new life with a polish.

Home Office
One of the most evocative rooms is the husband’s editing suite, or work office.
Done up in an “old bunker style”, the dim, cavern-like features a rough-textured cement screed ceiling embedded with metal strip bars in a random fashion.
This is meant to recreate a “hacked, exposed wall look,” says Edrick.

Black Wire Trunking
The kitchen maintains the industrial theme with black PVC tracks that also hide electrical wires.

Kitchen Serving Window
A serving window to the kitchen was sealed up to build this niche, which displays items close to the family’s heart.

Fake Grass Carpet
A faux grass carpet brings a playful feel and a touch of the “outdoors” to the master bedroom.

Bathroom
Even the bathroom complements the raw industrial theme with rust-look tiles and a specially sourced copper sink.

Master Bedroom
The master bedroom is raw and earthy with cement screed walls, wood-grain laminated wardrobe doors and Chinese side tables from the owners’ previous home.
