Parc Residences Tengah Renovation

Parc Residences at Tengah is a renovation of a public housing (HDB) 5-room flat in Singapore located near Tengah MRT Station JS3.

 

This renovation embraces the inherent calm of its surroundings while crafting a home that celebrates both quiet restraint and subtle warmth. The design is grounded in a clear architectural language: the pairing of light, texture, and finely detailed timber joinery.

 

Upon entry, a muted palette of white walls and soft marbled flooring sets a serene backdrop. Timber volumes are thoughtfully introduced not as decoration, but as spatial markers, defining zones without the need for heavy partitions. This idea of gentle separation allows light to travel uninterrupted, lending a sense of spaciousness to the floor plan.

​

The living area is anchored by a low, continuous timber console, which doubles as a visual grounding element and a projection surface. Here, technology is elegantly woven into the architecture, as the clean white wall becomes a canvas for film, bringing the home to life through the warm glow of cinema. The cabinetry is meticulously detailed, flush and unadorned, emphasizing material honesty and craft.

​

In the bedroom, the same design language continues. The timber joinery extends behind the bed to frame an intimate vanity nook for makeup, accompanied by soft natural lighting. Large windows, dressed in sheer blinds, modulate daylight gently, ensuring the space remains bright yet cocooning. The room is pared back to its essentials: a bed, a desk, and light. A deliberate act of restraint to encourage rest and reflection.

 

Throughout, the renovation embodies a quiet confidence. The palette of natural timber, white, and glass gives the home an enduring quality. A design not about spectacle but about living well. Every line and junction is carefully considered, every surface purposeful; a study on elevated simplicity
