Built in the 1980s, Odeon Katong was among the earliest high-rise apartments in the Katong area. Despite being on a high floor with partial sea views, this one-bedroom unit felt tired and dim prior to renovation.

While retaining the existing kitchen and bathroom configurations, we swapped the living area and bedroom, separating them with heavy night curtains so the space can look larger when the curtains are not drawn. We also introduced a dual-function dining and work space to save space. White, minimal carpentry and walls brighten the interiors, creating a crisp contrast against the warmth of terracotta floor tiles. In the bathroom, the terracotta theme continues on the walls, paired with homogenous floor tiles for a clean, cohesive finish.
