OUTDOORS IN
Kelvin and Karen Gan, cofounders of KGID; the Catellani & Smith pendant light draws the eye upward to the full height of the ceiling; a round rug echoes the blue accent pieces found at the living area
Aiming to exploit its view, the unit came with many outdoor areas. These include multiple balconies bracketing the bedrooms, living spaces spilling out outdoors, and an open roof terrace where one can enjoy an almost 360-degree panorama of the city.
The owners knew right away that some of these spaces would go to waste because they would not use them. KGID’S solution? Convert the balconies into indoor spaces.
The existing junior bedroom had two large balconies, but no ensuite bathroom. KGID converted one of them into a bathroom, keeping the structure light by installing a fully-glazed wall with sliding aluminium louvre for privacy.
The existing upper f loor master bedroom also came with two large balconies, one of which KGID converted into an airconditioned and screened-off indoor study with a view. The other stretch of balcony was transformed into a cosy reading lounge.
