For Gabriel and Daphne, this resale condominium apartment at Clover by the Park would be their third home together. At a commodious 1,600sq ft, it shares similar proportions with their previous home at Telok Blangah as ample living space is a priority for the family. They recently moved to accommodate their son who is starting his primary education at a nearby school.
For the renovation, they contacted Kobe Wong of KDOT whom they had last engaged in the renovation of their previous home. They conveyed a similar brief as they did the last time—modern contemporary interiors composed of clean lines that are easy to maintain and have plenty of storage space. After working with the clients once before, Kobe was able to approach the project with more confidence since he had a better grasp of their needs and was given a free hand in the design.
