Studio Wills + Architects has renovated a 30-year old flat in a public housing block in Singapore.
The studio was tasked with housing two programmes – home and office – within a limited footprint, as well as creating a framework to enable its future-proofing.
The result is a new flat that allows easy adaptation for a variety of uses, improving the functionality of the formerly single-use residential unit.
While small in scale, the project is an example of repurposing of a HDB flat, in which more than 80 percent of Singapore's population resides, sustaining it over the course of the building's life.
This project has been longlisted in the small interior category of Dezeen Awards 2020.
