It was a 4 room bto with hdb flooring. Client came to us after reading our good reviews online. The client request was simple- open spaces, bright, and feels like home. We proposed Scandinavian style to them as it best fits their requirement. To achieve the first requirement-open spaces, we hacked the wall in the kitchen and bedroom nearest to the living room. This helps to bring in the light and creates unblocked views every corner in the house, making the home bigger. The kitchen is fitted with customised island for storage and serve as a place for the couple to dine and do baking together. While homeowner work as stewardess, she requires many storage spaces to keep her luggage and things she brought overseas. We proposed a raised up storage platform for her in their bedroom as an additional storage besides their wardrobe. We also added in a stretch of plank on the platform as a writing area for her to send her post cards.
Both client is very young and they are confused with many structural details of the carpentry. We spend more time sketching and search for reference photo in order to help them understand our proposal.

Reviews
We met with a few designers before going with couple abode. Hazel's mood board was one of the main reason for picking them as it showed us that she understood how we want the final house to look like. Secondly was their pricing, as we manage to achieve most of the stuff we wanted to have in our house within our budget. Appreciate Hazel and Alson for being proactive and patience with our requests. We were very happy with how our house turn out, my wife like the white feeling of the house which was one of the main things she was looking for but couldn't articulate. I personally enjoy my display shelf where I can finally display my work on the shelves. We would highly recommend Hazel / Couple Abode to any friends because of the value they provide.

As first time home owners, Alvin & Alson gave us the sense of assurance that they had everything under their control from the get-go. Both were very responsive to last minute and frequent changes, and importantly, very patient and accommodating during our many discussions. To top it off, both Alvin & Alson delivered exactly what we had in mind, from the conceptualisation stage to the actual execution. Both incorporated our requirements into practical and aesthetically pleasing designs. We also appreciated timely updates during the renovation period when we were too busy to visit the site.
Even after handover, both Alvin & Alson has frequently checked in on us to ensure that everything is in order. Thank you Couple Abode!

It was a wonderful experience working with Alson.
He is open and receptive to all our suggestions and would give us constructive feedback. He considers each of our suggestions carefully and sincerely before giving us his expert opinion on whether it is a plausible plan. He would also chime in with his own suggestions whenever we were at a crossroads, or were lost, but he never becomes overly imposing by insisting that we go with his suggestions.
He would also do his best to help us with furniture selection as we frequently text him and send him photos when we shop for furniture. He never gets frustrated and would always give his honest opinion.
The workmanship is very good and if there are minor adjustments that needs to be done, Alson will never hesitate to offer his help.
All in all, Alson is a sincere ID who takes pride in his projects. 100% would recommend Couple Abode.
