This week, we tour an executive maisonette nestled in the heart of Tampines. The homeowners have opted for a California Casual theme, with the home spanning 1,657 sqft, featuring three bedrooms and three baths.
A glass-filled entryway (formerly a recessed corridor) welcomes you in, filled with a delightful blend of greenery and vintage fixtures. Skylights above shower the area with natural light, creating a warm and inviting welcome home.
Transitioning seamlessly into the home, the main door opens straight into the open-concept kitchen. Here, we see themes of the California casual style with its natural wood tones and rustic elements - nicely complementing the cream-colored carpentry.
Past the kitchen (and through glass bifold doors), we step into the utility yard - which has been kept mostly simple and clean.
It serves as a transitional space for one of the home's most extraordinary features - an indoor balcony with a double-volume ceiling concealed behind full-length glass panels.
This unique space provides breathtaking views of the surroundings. A huge Draco tree and a smaller olive tree nicely fills up the space, with the area often used as a tranquil daytime retreat - undoubtedly inspired by Mediterranean coastal charm.
Wrapping around is the living room. With full views of the balcony, it’s adorned with darker vinyl flooring and cream furnishings, radiating warmer tones. A retractable screen hangs over the balcony entry, serving as a projector substitute against the traditional television set, whilst freeing up valuable floor space and providing a light barrier against the open balcony.
Completing a full loop back to the entry, we find the dining room set against windows and a single glass panel, inviting plenty of natural light into the space. A six-seater dining set, adorned with a hanging pendant lamp makes for a simple dining area with views of the greenery outside - occasionally doubling up as a work area.
As we make our way up, we find sweeping black banisters and glass panels adorning the sides of the rooms, bathing the stairwell in abundant natural light.
Upstairs, we find 3 bedrooms. One is currently used as storage, while the other serves as a cat sanctuary for the homeowner’s 2 felines. The common bath here is finished in a salt-pink tone, featuring circular elements that help to break the rigid textures.
Finally, the master bedroom is kept simple and cozy. A queen-size bed sets center stage with hanging pendant lamps on either end, while a wall of built-in wardrobes sits opposite, ensuring ample storage.
As always, we would like to thank the homeowners for allowing us to tour their beautiful home.

Hands down the most stunning home I have ever seen! Wow. If this is my house, that's it I'm becoming a recluse. There's no way I will volunteerily step out of this house, well except to walk my dog but maybe I can get more dogs and chase them around inside this giant house 😂

[@ReubenDhanaraj]

Aww thanks Rebel!! Trust me, the lovely homeowners and their cats had a hard time getting us out of the house 🤣

[@MarvinOsso]

I’m all for it, let’s open a savings account already 😂

[@rebel.taylord]

@@ReubenDhanarajHahaha I bet! Great video. Also love that the owners gave their cats their own playroom ❤

[@tarotboy2]

Easily the best designed home featured by Stacked Homes so far. This will set the benchmark for future homeowners who wish to showcase their home in this channel.

[@StackedHomes]

Wow, thank you so much for the kind words!! 😊

[@rainrain8684]

This is probably one of the best showcased renovation done to a maisonette. It is bright and inviting with simple details yet feel like a resort.

[@StackedHomes]

Glad you think so! We love it too!!

[@pocketstories88]

What a lovely home. The design and colors are tastefully done. Everything flows, so tranquil and calming. Great job to the couple for this design. Reuben's voice also matched the entire setting.

[@ReubenDhanaraj]

It's easily as delightful in real life, as it is in the video. Thank you very much for the kind words 😊😊

[@ikarirm]

The balcony is to die for ! I have followed Studio McGee for the longest time and this seems abit more muji minimalist than "California Casual", which tends to incorporate different variety of natural materials in both soft and hard furnishings like stone, travertine, richly veined marble or quartz, leather, rattan, plush wool woven rugs and throws.

[@StackedHomes]

Yes! It's definitely very well curated. Thanks for the thoughtful comment, and for dropping by!

[@Y3llow_Submarin3]

Kitchen wise is indeed more modern american farm house than muji. Only living room is a bit japanese.

[@beautybonvoyage8624]

Yeah, I wasn't really getting the California from this as much as Scandinavian or some other form of minimalist vibe. Maybe Calinavian minimalism...lolz.

[@_FNQ]

Those curved french doors in the main bedroom are such a classy touch. Fantastic walk through!

[@StackedHomes]

Aren't those doors just divine? Glad you enjoyed the walk-through! ☺️

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

This aesthetic is very popular in Japan and South Korea too. It's a lovely basic canvas to work with: craftsmanship, thoughtfulness, beautiful natural materials and a warm, comfortable atmosphere you can really transform into a variety of aesthetic directions depending on your taste and favourite colour palettes. Really lovely, thanks for showing it off so beautifully.

[@StackedHomes]

Very cool!

[@user-lk3zf5gi8y]

This is a very gorgeous home. I love that the owners used cream tone and light colored woods. And that they used glass on the bedrooms instead of solid walls is ingenious. Best of all I love their kitchen! 👏👏👏

[@StackedHomes]

Yesss!! The light tones really made the space warm and inviting. We think that actually went perfectly with the open glass bedroom theme too 😇

[@lisasp5677]

The kitchen design is so restrained. Seriously beautiful.

[@StackedHomes]

Thank you 😊

[@kittydeleo4043]

Spectacular renovation! Manages to create a light-filled and airy space in what would no doubt be challenging circumstances. Lovely! Well done!

[@mr.josephwee]

Oh my, what a stunning abode this is! ❤ Totally in love with the kitchen and balcony theme!! 😊

[@StackedHomes]

Truly! Thanks for stopping by :)

[@kelvinlee961]

Beautifully done. Really like the color palette. And the space planning is done perfectly

[@StackedHomes]

The variety of colours certainly brought quite a bit of diversity. Didn't feel forced though :)

[@Madillusionist]

Love this design. A good balance between form and function while keeping things simple and clean. Their cats are very lucky. 😂

[@StackedHomes]

Totally agree!

[@balasubramaniamrajaretnam3363]

One of the BEST maisonette design home ever. Thank you for brining it to us!

[@StackedHomes]

Thanks for watching!! 😊

[@EvasNan2020]

Love the way you host home tour videos, Ruben! Great flow and charisma :)

[@ReubenDhanaraj]

Thanks very much 😊 Do lmk if there are ways you think I can improve on too :)

[@victorylee5381]

Beautifully and tastefully crafted home ! Love it

[@StackedHomes]

Thank you so much 😊

[@elitenight815]

Very well done walkthrough video! I like how they brought nature into the home with the green space at the entrance and the glass panel to view it from the dining table.

[@StackedHomes]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@SisiYemmieTV]

love it!

[@StackedHomes]

We do too!

[@ayuodagiri1577]

This is like a hotel omg and the trees outside the flat doesnt make it seem like its a lower floor hdb but more like a hotel amazing ❤

[@domimatrix]

absolutely well conceptualised! Love every part of the house!

[@StackedHomes]

🙌 🙌 🙌 Which was your favourite?? 🤔

[@domimatrix]

the balcony with that tall draco tree n olive tree! reminds me of my own living space ☺️

[@davecahyo]

The entrance right to the kitchen maybe odd, but I love it! I have two entry doors in my house, one in front and one is the emergency door back in the kitchen. I realized I use the back entrance more often. I could straight to get a drink and wash my hand, and also I don't have to worry about my muddy shoes since we regularly mop the kitchen floor anyway. Absolutely love the seating area near the window too!

[@StackedHomes]

Creative layout indeed! Thanks for sharing your experience and enjoying the little details! 😊

[@9razzler9]

this is so gorgeous, so open, simple and classically stylish!

[@StackedHomes]

Yes it is 😊

When I grow up I want to be as tall as Reuben.

Wow nice unit!

[@StackedHomes]

We think so too!

[@junelim420]

Love! Love! Love! Really nothing to dislike, especially after spending 150k😅.

[@StackedHomes]

Indeed! Everything was really well thought out 😊

[@nguyenvantrungvacongsu]

The beautifull house design,good video,like

[@StackedHomes]

Thank you very much

[@moltenbullet]

I can definitely feel the heaviness in the cost of the home. Probably closer to 200k after electricals, plumbing, and equipment. But man, that cost really shows through with the end result. Clean, refined.

[@StackedHomes]

Definitely very well though through! Thanks for dropping by 😊

[@WWK186]

Good taste!

[@StackedHomes]

It really is!

[@HABIBMUHD92]

Thank you very much!

[@AN-iy9si]

The home looks great. The only concern I have is the ventilation breeze blocks for the common room washroom. If you were to sit on the balcony, wouldn't you hear the sounds coming through from the washroom?

[@joannestazio4495]

Just a relaxing, peaceful space. Do you know any of the paint choices through the house, especially kitchen area. Thanks!

[@mrmoh4123]

Stunning design! but just wondering, where's the aircon compressor located at?

[@ordinaryobserver897]

Nice...

[@StackedHomes]

Thank you 😊

[@ezekielk.3629]

Woody home with rustic touch like brass! I can totally vibe with this home owner cause my place is also wood heavy theme with brass finishes! 🥰 And I think the we had the same brand of subway titles in the kitchen cause it has 3D effects when the downlighting bounce off it and hand laid too

[@StackedHomes]

That's a great idea!

[@jizhang2407]

👍 This is a house properly designed: no dark painting and no obstacles intentionally put there to block natural light and ventilation.

[@StackedHomes]

Thanks for sharing!

[@a_k_406]

I want to be their cat. Haha, love everything about this house!

[@east.side.loft.]

Hahaha come!! Kopi and Loti would love new friends 🤭

[@StackedHomes]

😂 We'd understand why!

[@saraadam3941]

Beautiful home. But the host is gorgeous!

[@StackedHomes]

Hahaha thank you ! 😊

[@LinhPham-sd4ib]

Does the predominant use of glass panels increase the heat inside the house, by any chance?

[@EvaUnit_01]

Didn’t even know California Casual was even a thing!

where to check for prices?

Missing some paintings on the wall but other than that fantastic home.

[@StackedHomes]

Thanks for your insights!

may I know which ID it is ?

I can imagine homeowners who are struggling with space at home would be looking in envy i.e. spacious rooms for cats and even a indoor tree. 😂
