Refurbish And Renovation The Public Housing Apartment
February 22nd, 2011 - Posted in Apartment Interior, Furniture
Redhill Apartment is the public housing apartment located in Singapore and has been renovation by Kevin Lim of Studio SKLIM. The renovations concept is to create a large space with distributed furniture and a mirrored surface to reflect the surrounding spaces. The furniture pieces were designed as a set for the space and related to the bigger spatial flow with geometry and material continuity.
The design approach to the individual furniture pieces were derived from their inherent functions and their relationship to each other in that particular space. For example, the slope of the entrance foyer piece was a reflection of the inclined shoe rack enclosed in the bottom cabinet and the gap between the top and bottom pieces provided natural cross ventilation and a view towards the entrance from the kitchen.
The kitchen was subdivided into a wet and dry area with part of the latter extending to become a foyer cabinet. The dining space became larger and visual continuity was achieved with all the surrounding built-in furniture, from the foyer to the dry kitchen to the living room set.
