401e - Never Too Small Ep. 169

Updated: Apr 11



Introducing 401e - one of several Singapore projects featured on NEVER TOO SMALL this 2024! Episode 169 is all about the clever spaces of this vibrant apartment with a size of 47sqm/506sqft. Interior design by knock knock studio - www.knockknockstudio.com


Project writeups by NTS:

Once a standard HDB flat with basic finishes and fixtures, the colourful and quirky 401e has been transformed into a practical and adaptable home, seamlessly transitioning from an intimate space for two to an inviting setting for friends and family. Designed by Jade Cham of knock knock studio, alongside owners Jackie, an illustrator, and Tobbie, a jiu jitsu instructor. Key design interventions included integrating storage solutions, custom furniture and cool colour schemes. A standout addition is a full length built-in storage bench in the open plan dining and living space, which includes a pull-out bench for additional dining seating and discreetly stowing away sporting gear. A curated gallery wall in the space displays art pieces by both Jackie and the couple’s friends, along with cherished mementos from their travels. By taking every little lifestyle detail taken into account, this design truly illustrates how there is always room for playfulness and personal touches.
