This week, we visit a penthouse home set in the low-lying Joo Chiat. Homeowner Brandon created and designed the space for his family of 3 - and incredibly did so without any drawings of the space. It’s a 1+1 room penthouse and at a size of 830 square feet, he had to get creative with the space. He knocked down everything that was possible to, and created an open and inviting wabi-sabi space. With neutral, simple tones, he opted for textured paint for the whole house, and vinyl floors.
Most of the furniture in the house was custom built (like the sofa, dining table and TV console area). On the top floor, the open concept master bedroom features a unique slanted roof and the shower area which was previously the jacuzzi was repurposed into a cool outdoor shower. Finally, to make the space more usable, he built a glass roof over the yard area to form an interesting study area.
Special thanks to Brandon for showing us around his inviting home.

Loved that they turned the yard into a study + open shower. Way more practical and elegant

[@StackedHomes]

True!

[@jenohogan9254]

I love their use of lighting, it's really calming and cozy.

[@StackedHomes]

We liked it too! Thank you for watching, Jen 🥰

[@littlenest]

Such a beautiful natural colour palette with very clever use of space, absolutely love this! ❤

[@StackedHomes]

Thank you for watching 😁

[@Jasyoucan]

Beautiful home so warm and cozy! I love the feel and color of the textured paint. It reminds me of fire light against the walls of a cave when the warm strip lights hit it. 😍

[@StackedHomes]

Glad you like it!

[@pollypuffington2243]

This is one of the most beautiful homes that you have featured beautiful and functional

[@StackedHomes]

Thanks!

[@andrebudiman4506]

Agree

[@Jewelicious100]

Love this house. Unlike a typical home in Singapore decked with built in after built in. Very nice!!!

[@StackedHomes]

Thank you for watching, Gina!

[@jaschua2988]

For a small 1+1, they maximized the space really well! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@StackedHomes]

Thanks for your kind words!

[@crystalsun3006]

Not a single thing I didn't like about this house. This is my type of house. Comfy and beautiful. The designer didn't overdone anything. After watching thousands of home design videos, I found my perfect one.

[@Gatecrasher1]

Beautifully done!

[@kismetau]

Great reno! So much inspiration. It's modern, well-designed and very cosy + warm. Well done!

[@StackedHomes]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@Coromi1]

I like it. It looks natural and cozy. It's small for three people, but many of us are limited on space.

[@StackedHomes]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@lucilletorres5989]

Soo beautiful and inviting.

[@StackedHomes]

Thank you! 😊

[@Cmi1267]

Well done Brandon! Very inspirational house!

[@StackedHomes]

[@hermanteo7544]

Nice and tasteful!

[@StackedHomes]

[@gerardvongyw670]

The color is really solid with matching ornaments and house well lited the best for me is the bathroom

[@StackedHomes]

Thank you for watching, Gerard!

[@jtcrichton]

So many textures~

[@squiggy18]

If there was a zombie apocalypse, I wouldn't mind being stuck in this house.

[@StackedHomes]

😂

[@pizzalikepizza]

Me too!! Lol.

[@andyandy2684]

Superb. Very nice! One of my favourites. Has a very organic feel … right down to the last sq inch. Managed to totally avoid the typical cardboardy minimalist look that’s currently en trend.

[@StackedHomes]

We're glad you liked it! Thank you for watching, Andy 🤩

[@geraldine3636]

Very unique yet doesn't lack warmth and cosiness!

[@StackedHomes]

Thanks for your kind words!

[@irisyeo07]

This is wabi sabi style with a touch of class and elegance! Would love to recreate this in my own house when I renovate next time! 👍👍🥰🥰

[@StackedHomes]

Go for it!

[@xgen123]

Very warm and cosy interior! May I know where to get the 2 hanging wall ornaments @4:55min (located behind the owner)? It compliments very well with the rest of the house!

[@StackedHomes]

Thank you for watching!

[@rothschildianum]

A lot of details, but it is like a craft school. 6 of 10.

[@StackedHomes]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with a rating! 🤗

[@chuckandary7115]

Cool house love the paint

[@StackedHomes]

Thanks for watching! 🤩

[@mamaandharry4573]

Given the constraints of the property, and some aesthetics not quite right for me, it has been utilised to it full potential for young family living. Good use of lighting to generate warmth. Nothing wild but bold and homely

[@StackedHomes]

Thanks for sharing!

[@saimakhalid8156]

It's so warm, functional and cosy. Love it. Can we be bff's? ☺️

[@StackedHomes]

A very warm and cosy home indeed. 🥰

[@violetsarelavender]

Beautiful home... Just right for a small family

[@StackedHomes]

It sure is! Thank you for watching, Supriya 😄

[@badboi888]

Small but cozy home🤗

[@StackedHomes]

It is 😌 Thank you for watching, Marc!

[@Jewelicious100]

Hi! Can I know what are the paint colours you used?

[@DuDerize]

Nice reno and all but beats me as to why people would spend so much for a tiny apartment - worse...its for a family of 3..it is quite cramped. Rather spend the $$ on a 4/5 room resale or bto flat.

[@keemarotichai]

what is the development name of this home? love the entire vibe and feel of the neighborhood and also the houe

[@StackedHomes]

Thank you for watching!

[@Raymon-day]

This the id that always like to create multiple company name and mia halfway through proposals.

[@katriley9876]

im curious so there's actually no bedrooms?? the son + wife all sleep on that bed?

[@shantingsim8842]

I wonder how much the house cost! So beautiful!

[@StackedHomes]

Thanks for your kind words!

[@adis.g6569]

this is nice yo

[@StackedHomes]

It really is 🤩

[@citrinebubbly8821]

Is the flooring for the living room concrete cement?

[@Su-jb2zr]

When i tell people i would love a comfortable house, i mean this HOUSE. Not a football size open space.

[@StackedHomes]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@jalanjalan7099]

when they wake up, will they knock their head?

[@brandanwei2159]

Hello, I'm the owner of the house. Thats one of our concerns when we decided to use the loft for our bedroom. But surprisingly we have yet to hit our head there. Haha

[@jalanjalan7099]

:) thanks for replying. Great to know that.

[@Stat8989]

Very beautiful but not enough room for the growing child. Need to get a bigger house.

[@andrebudiman4506]

👍

[@StackedHomes]

Thank you for watching, Andre!

[@calvin5742]

Lovely design and ambience. But this is not wabi-sabi, Stacked Homes.

[@NiteshVishwakarma-se1tg]

hi sir

[@StackedHomes]

👋

[@Ricangelo]

Could've left it bare to really embrace wabi sabi. Now it's just stuff that looks like wabi sabi.

[@cherylsemrau7100]

Beautiful except where the bed is. too claustrophobic for me.

[@StackedHomes]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[@cchan4739]

Hmm there's only 1 toilet.... Hahaha. Otherwise the interior design is pretty nice :)

[@LordBagdanoff]

Having 2 toilets is not a must.

[@brandanwei2159]

Hello I'm the owner of the house. Most small condo penthouse have 2 toilets one upstairs and 1 downstairs. But alot of space is already taken up by the stairs. If we have another toilet downstairs it will be super cramp. We viewed lots of houses before deciding on this 1 because it only have 1 toilet which gives us alot more space to play with. Especially when we have a young kid. Haha

[@cchan4739]

@@brandanwei2159 Thanks for the reply. It was just an observation I made. The ID is v well done though - I love the colour palette and overall feel of the place :)

[@Stickybutton]

Is it a house or an apartment? Terms should be used correctly given that he’s supposedly a professional designer.

[@jamesdante1690]

so small ... ppl will suffocate ... terrible

[@peterpan9785]

Wabi sabi - a overated word in ID and $120k for this ....

[@purringcat9857]

sunlit shower....i would live inside that

[@StackedHomes]

Aww thanks 🙌

[@troyd934]

ffs everyone using this wabi-sabi trend without knowing much

[@ikarirm]

Have to agree.... example, use of vinyl flooring is anathema to wabi-sabi....

[@skysoh8624]

Suitable for single but not familu.. too cramp

[@StackedHomes]

Thanks for sharing your observation on space!

[@commieskungflu1635]

Claims to use a lot of “natural materials”, claims uses a lot of “solid wood”, but uses cheap plastic floor which is what vinyl (PVC) is.

[@juanadearco6356]

Wabisabi is such a tired aesthetic. I am truly sick of it. Most of this I can find on pinterest or tiktok. Not sure they had to get handmade dining chairs that look exactly like the ones mass produced on taobao. You guys should feature more singles homes instead of couples.

[@StackedHomes]

We look forward to featuring homes of all demographics but sometimes it can be difficult to achieve that. We do have quite a few homes of singles, we're also looking out for big families but their schedules are a lot tighter understandably...

[@Bulltardwin]

that's not wabi sabi

[@wingtjr]

120k reno.... lmaoooo
