Chua Chu Kang House

Interior Space Design by Don Lin

The Chua Chu Kang House, designed by Don Lin, is a unique and innovative interior space that transforms the ugliness of its surroundings into a beautiful and modern living environment. The design concept revolves around the idea of connecting enclosed areas and creating a sense of quietness and charm.

The space begins with a solid bold wall that hides potential opportunities. The initial goal was to retain a visual of quietness and optimize the separation of the house. However, Don Lin's approach was to exceed the ugliness and transform it into a modern touch of beauty. By doing so, certain historic and raw charm is restored to shelter the emptiness of the house.

One of the standout features of the Chua Chu Kang House is the surprise of interior within an interior. The design incorporates a dry and wet kitchen within a kitchen, as well as a dining area within the kitchen. This unique arrangement adds a sense of intrigue and functionality to the space.

The living space is interrupted by an impressive art attack that has become the housing for the electrical wiring. This artistic element not only serves a practical purpose but also adds a touch of creativity to the overall design. To complement the emphasis on the interior spaces, warm light is strategically placed to create a stained effect across the color walls, further enhancing the visual appeal.

The Chua Chu Kang House has been recognized for its outstanding design and innovation. It was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in 2014 in the Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design category. This prestigious award is given to designs that demonstrate exceptional expertise, creativity, and technical characteristics. The Chua Chu Kang House stands out for its remarkable level of excellence and its ability to evoke positive emotions and wonder.
