The living room of Mr David Ng's flat is where he spends the most time with his parents, who live with him. Home & Decor SINGAPORE – While Mr David Ng’s job as associate director in a facade consulting firm in China is not directly related to interior design, he knew enough about construction and space planning to want to design his own home. “I have a lot of stuff to display, so I thought it best that I design the home myself because I know my needs best,” says the 50-year-old bachelor, who shares his 1,603 sq ft executive maisonette in Pasir Ris with his parents.
Although he personally planned the layout and carpentry of the two-storey apartment – and picked the furniture, materials and palette – he brought in home-grown interior design firm Rezt+Relax to fine-tune the design. Besides advising Mr Ng on the feasibility of his design, the firm helped with shop drawings and 3D renderings, and executed the renovation works. Amethyst crystals are displayed on a shelf near the main entrance that screens the rest of the unit from view.
