A Family Home Redesigned for Flow, Storage, and Everyday Comfort

In the competitive landscape of Singapore's luxury real estate, achieving a harmonious and functional living space is paramount. Leena Interior Design Studio (LIDS), under the leadership of founder Leena Goh, has once again demonstrated its mastery with the recent renovation of a sprawling 4,542-square-foot maisonette at 15 Holland Hill. This project, completed in November 2024, exemplifies the studio's commitment to creating environments that are not only visually stunning but also deeply attuned to the practical needs of modern family life.

The design philosophy at play here is one of intentionality and cohesion. Goh and her team have meticulously applied a consistent design language throughout the residence, ensuring a seamless transition between spaces. From the dining area flowing into the dry kitchen, anchored by a sophisticated island, to the subtle yet impactful use of materials and color palettes, the maisonette exudes a sense of calm and balance. This approach is crucial in a large home, preventing any feeling of disjointedness and enhancing the overall sense of spaciousness and tranquility.

It reflects what we believe in. Every detail is intentional, crafted to be visually compelling, while remaining firmly rooted in function.

What truly sets this renovation apart, especially from a Singaporean context where space optimization is often a critical consideration, is the studio's ability to balance aesthetic aspirations with highly practical requirements. The brief demanded a conversion of four bedrooms into five, the integration of a wine cellar and home gym, and the creation of dedicated study spaces for the children – all while maintaining the home's inherent elegance. LIDS has skillfully addressed these needs, incorporating bespoke elements like a floor-to-ceiling shoe cabinet and maximizing storage solutions under the staircase, demonstrating a keen understanding of how form and function must coexist.

Furthermore, Goh's emphasis on 'every detail is intentional, crafted to be visually compelling, while remaining firmly rooted in function' resonates deeply within Singapore's design-conscious society. The project also touches upon responsible design principles, as noted by Goh's mindful approach to retaining existing elements where possible. This renovation at 15 Holland Hill is a testament to LIDS's ability to deliver personalized, high-quality interior design solutions that enhance the living experience for its clients, setting a benchmark for residential projects in the city-state.

Although it was a brand-new development, these requirements prompted us to rethink the spatial planning. We always push a project to realise its full potential in response to the brief and spatial quality, while remaining mindful of what can be retained as part of a more responsible approach.
