Warren's Home

People who read this blog - yes all 3 of you, would remember that we introduced you to Warren Liu in an earlier post.

One may even remember that  we found him via the Straits Times in this article.

One month after our initial meeting, Warren was kind enough to show us the house mentioned in the article. His home.

The reason why he showed us the house, was because it was a relatively modest build costing him ~$250 per sq ft.

It was a beautiful home

in hot tropical Singapore, it was a pleasure to sit in his kitchen without the fan on, and enjoy the breeze.

I wasn't a fan of the eclectic furniture choice, but only because I'm quite conservative about furniture and furnishings... but really, everything was gorgeous, given the costs.

I think I would look for alternatives in some areas... instead of aluminium shutters, maybe I would go with wooden plantation shutters... but of course the point at which we delve into the details on architectural finishing is still miles away.

The couple of things I did love:

• The use of space - from a land area of ~1400 sq feet, he cleverly built a >3300 sq ft house
• He managed 3 bedrooms + 2 studies (1 convertible into a guest room) + 1 utility room + a gorgeous multi-tiered open plan living area
• a GREEN roof! like grass... on a roof!
• Gadgets galore (thank you Sonos)
• I was ambivalent about bringing the outdoors in, but my wife loved all the greenery
• oh and check out the pièce de résistance... a TV in the dining table.
