The ones at Jalan Hang Jebat are always occupied, also many cars parked by the roadside. Many hikers from the Railway Corridor also walk by it.

I guess they're something like chalets, but for higher SES folks?

Ok..i go buy

When homeowner Edward purchased a resale three-room HDB flat in Ang Mo Kio, he wanted his home to be a technicolour showcase of the mid-century modern style.

Aside from appreciating the sensibilities of the modernist era – where form follows function, and which favours sleek, uncluttered lines with both organic and geometric forms – he also noted that “most mid-century furniture pieces are very small, so it’s much easier to fit them into a small space”.


“I’ve always loved colour,” said the bachelor. “I like to experiment with different colour combinations; the mood that I wanted was something that makes me feel relaxed and happy when I come home.”

Other items on his wish list? Clean lines, a retro feel, a spacious master suite, lots of shoe storage as “I have a lot of shoes”, an interesting dining area, lots of built-in furniture, and a kitchen that “ties in with how I dress – I like to mix graphic prints with textures”.

So he engaged interior design firm Karpentree Studio to help him create “a modernist-inspired retreat tailored for a dandy who celebrates life in simplicity with a bold statement”.

To make the 759 sq ft flat feel more light and open, the wall between the living/dining area and the kitchen was removed, creating a long rectangular space from the front of the apartment all the way to the back.

The floor of the expanded space was redone in pale grey terrazzo for a light, airy feel imbued with elegant modernist vibes.

In the living area, a salmon pink floating shoe cabinet and a trio of matching floating shelves stand out against pale grey walls, providing storage without eating into the footprint of the apartment. Opposite, a streamlined deep blue sofa, a circular rug in medium brown, and mismatched cushions add further pops of colour.

Oh dear, how old is this guy, why would he be drawn to 1950s style....

Edward got it all wrong. During the 1950s, homes were like these. He needs to re-renovate.

Edward prefers the Yankee 1950s style, not the sinkie 1950s style. The photo you posted reminds us all just how far Ah Gong brought Singapore in 20 years from a humble fishing village to metropolis!

Besides the retro fridge, nothing resembles 1950s amdk. Yes, yes ah gong was the bestest and cleverest.

Never heard of this brand.

smegma is yucky discharge from either male or female genitalia. they can get stuck around puaykeetau or cheebye if left unwashed. not appetizing name for fridge that stores your food.

Personally I like the British colonial aesthetics. Not sure why no pigeon hole dweller has considered that for their renovation.

my dream house in sg, but unfortunately i can’t even afford rent sharing a hdb room in bedok.

Singaporeans so funny but pathetic...so proud of their HDB flat on a long term lease.

That's probably because they hardly have anything else in their lives to be genuinely proud of. Pumping your life savings into a HDB flat makes 'home ownership' feel very real indeed. Feelings are very important.

Renovate...but do it on the quiet and don't boast about what little you have.
