This Makeover Of A 1,033sq-ft Auctioned Apartment Into An Industrial Living Space Is Incredible

The walkup apartment at East Coast Road was auctioned and the owner, Pat Law, saw it as an opportunity to transform it into her dream home. Designed by Abigael Tay of interior design firm Obllique, the team successfully remodelled this old 1,033 square feet apartment into a modern industrial living home named, Apartment Law.

The walls of the entrance were left unpainted to maintain an unassuming outlook.

Item: Doormat (Naiise)

The Peg Board Walls And Cement Floorings Are Genius

Living Area

The partitions of the apartment were broken down, and the floor tiles were removed to make way for the polished cement floor. By utilizing peg boards as walls, you could easily save space and customize shelving of items.

Items: Cody Camel leather sofa (Castlery), coffee table by Nathan Yong (Grafunkt), Luka TV console (Castlery), bamboo fan (Haiku), aroma diffuser (MUJI), Beolit 15 speaker (B&O), silkscreen print (Shepard Fairey), Naked Lunch cabinet (Mojoko)
