This week, we visit one of the sleekest homes that you'll find - a very sizeable 1,518 square foot Executive HDB home in Bukit Batok. Home owners Natalie and Sean were attracted to this 25-year old flat despite its age because they were able to see the potential of the unit. Clearly, their priority was space, and with something clean yet sophisticated in mind - they found the right ID that they resonated with and could fit their brief.
What's really special here is that smooth and seamless floor, which they flew in an Italian floor specialist to complete the job over the course of the week. The result is something really refined (showroom-like) as you aren't able to see any grout lines. That clean look is seen throughout the house, with the way the cabinetry is installed to keep it minimalist and flushed, to the way the TV console and its wires were hidden.
Finally, as a result of their keen interest in keeping fit and ultimate frisbee, one room was dedicated to a gym so that they did not need to travel to keep fit!
Special thanks to Natalie and Sean for taking the time to show us around their home. For more on their sleek home, please visit: / bkt.btk

Love the house which are not too cluttered and feel very relaxed when u step in. Love the pebble floor at the main entrance too. Nowadays the trend I saw online are super many plants, super many things laying on the floor and super many things on the wall too.
I love every episode of Stacked Homes! This is another one. Less is more. Love love.

noticed that too, I naturally gravitate towards minimalism, but even for me it is slightly too empty (I guess it may change with time - more personal objects etc). Stil a great space tho. And love the ending, I found there is a pattern with some videos - a funny bit at the very end. Love it!
The architectural elements really work for the layout and flow.Appreciate stack homes for bringing out good design elements like that. Would you mind sharing what’s the comfortable material mentioned for their living room white flooring?

I like the fact that architectural elements were added to make it more appealing. The idea of minimal visual clutter is something that they managed to achieve. May I ask where are the furniture from because the American walnut furniture is functional and aesthetically pleasing? Lastly, the frisbee playing in the home is really cool and fun!

Before 1997, hdb flats has no bomb shelter. so this women does not know that because she lives in a landed house before moving or it was just a slip of tongue. the "bomb shelter" she refer to is just a store room.

Just curious! Can I ask why did the couple spend so much on renovations when the lease life left is quite little?
@StackedHomes
2 жыл бұрын
Likely because they would outlive the lease, and depreciating the cost of renovation over the next 75 years is pretty cheap. The quality of life gained from such a renovation could also be worth it to them 👌 In addition, while we won't say that renovation cost can be recovered upon sale of the unit, having a nice flat does make your flat more in demand, and could potentially save on the next owner's renovation costs so some of it could be recovered later on.

probably lack of some plants. Maybe include a tall good plant will brighten the living room.
The house looks great but my immediate reaction to seeing their room revamped into a personal gym was that their direct neighbour below them would have a hard time adjusting to the noise/vibrations from those weights hitting the floor even though it's padded

It’s ok you are not their downstairs neighbour no need to worry so much
@StackedHomes
2 жыл бұрын
That's true, but we suppose it only happens at certain times and not all day. Moreover, sounds from the gym room would be more tolerable compared to the sporadic sounds of children running up and down the house since there's lesser restraint from them, and house flooring is usually not padded unlike the one at the gym.

The part where the house owner hv taken down the bomb shelter kinda shocked me. Is it even legal under the safety act? 😅
@maeang5033
2 жыл бұрын
It’s not legal 😅 the house is probably older and was not subject to the act then ie built without it which is not uncommon for older flats. If new condos do not have HS shelters it’s cos it’s a staircase shelter outside the unit
@zzzleepi2049
2 жыл бұрын
I would say it’s just a store room. Old flats doesn’t have bomb shelter built inside the house. The bomb shelter for older flats is a shared common bomb shelter, located on the ground floor .
