A floor plan of the original apartment. The two bedrooms in the front have been merged with the hall, and the kitchen moved to the hall. A vanity and wash area now occupies the original kitchen spot.
Terrazzo, a building material synonymous with Art Deco architecture, is the highlight of this apartment. The flooring in the living space is lined with natural terrazzo tiles. So is the custom-built vanity sink.
This apartment has been remodelled from an original three bedroom unit into a spacious one-bedder. Two of the original bedrooms in the front have been amalgamated into the living room and the kitchen, which is originally at the back of the apartment, has been moved to the front. The vanity occupies the spot where the original kitchen used to be.
A unique feature of Tiong Bahru walk up apartments is the addition of skylights on both sides of the living area, bringing in light into the middle of the apartment. This feature is seldom seen in walk-up apartments built after the 1960s.
