Nadia Majid’s father wanted his daughters to live nearby and bought them a plot of land to build their homes. In 2021, after her mother passed away, his father was even more keen to have his children close by. At that time, Nadia’s sister was also looking for a home for her family.
That’s when Nadia’s father asked her to also build her home as it’d be more economical to build two homes rather than one. So, even though Nadia was a newlywed and in confinement after delivering her firstborn, she bravely embarked on the journey of building her home from scratch. The first obstacle Nadia and her sister encountered was realising they didn’t have the budget to hire an architect or an interior designer.
Unperturbed, Nadia decided she’d take on the challenge of hiring contractors and figuring out how to build a house. “In the beginning, my sister’s plan was to have a two-storey home that seemed to me quite basic and like any other home you’d get from a property developer. Since she was building from scratch, I thought there must be something that she’d want to do differently.
Homeowner Nadia sits proudly in her home that she envisioned more than a year ago. “So I started doing research online and looking for inspirations on Pinterest and Instagram. I loved home designs from Australia and England that were one-storey and had an open concept with a spacious backyard.
Since my sister was busy with work, she was happy to have the same home design I liked.” Their .
