Nicole Wong Tells Us What She Loves About Her Neo-Kampong Living

In a charming complex of walk-up apartments in the east-a five-minute bicycle ride from the lively bustle of Joo Chiat-Nicole NC Wong, the content creator and founder of creative agency NPLUSC, has built a home that blends minimalist cool with an inviting sense of cosiness. Prior to moving here last November, Wong and her husband spent five years in Punggol-which never really felt like home. We both grew up in the east; all of our families, our friends, are here, she shares. The amount I spent on cab fares when we were living in Punggol was ridiculous. And if we were to think ahead, if we have kids, I'm not particular about schools, but my husband is a St. Patrick's boy and he wants his son to go to St. Pat's, which is just down the road; and if it's a girl, Katong Convent is at the other end.

Wong in her minimalist master bedroom wearing a Tod's coat and loafers, Rick Owens tee and Dolce&Gabbana skirt teamed with Prada earrings as well as her own necklaces and rings.

The couple's shoe collection includes Balenciaga boots, Nike Jordans and Louis Vuitton slingbacks.
