Mosh Interior relishes the chance to design another beautiful minimalist home in Singapore for its clients, more than a decade after the owners’ previous renovation
The renovation of this elegant home marked a beautiful reunion between interior designer Shermaine Ong and her clients. Ong had designed a penthouse for this family in Singapore over a decade ago, and were thrilled when they returned for a new assignment: the renovation of a newly-purchased 2,000 sq ft semi-detached house in eastern Singapore.
The clients had purchased an old property that they saw much potential in, but it needed a major overhaul to suit their needs. The renovation also had to be completed quickly by Mosh Interior within the year; additionally, the kitchen was to be the central focus of the open-plan ground floor of this four-bedroom abode.

Already well-versed with the owners’ preferred aesthetic, the design team at Mosh Interior knew exactly what to do. They knew quite well that the owners appreciate an understated, monochromatic scheme, and gravitate towards clean-lined details. “The clients wanted a grey, black and natural colour palette; the choice of colour is vital for them,” reveals Ong, who is the founder of Mosh Interior.
As part of this renovation, nearly 90 per cent of the existing brick walls were removed. The floor plan was also entirely redone to suit the family’s lifestyle. The design team kept the existing timber flooring as it was in good condition and complemented the modern look of the house. In total, the design process was realised in three months, while the renovation took four months to complete due to pandemic restrictions.
