Creating a Dual-Key Unit for a 3-Generation Family in Singapore

Creating 2 Separate Entrances to 2 Units: A Welcoming Foyer Space

Think of a place in your home where Grandpa’s classic shoes are right next to Timmy’s bright, modern sneakers. This is what we have in mind for the shared entrance space. It’s about 40 square feet, and it’s more than just a hallway. It’s like a small display of your family’s history. Let’s make it more exciting and fun in these ways:

  • Shoe Storage: Practical yet chic cabinets to keep those loafers and ballet flats in check.
  • Green Touch: A couple of potted plants to bring a breath of fresh air – literally.
  • Artistic Walls: Some vibrant wall paintings because, hey, every family has a story to tell.
  • Bright Lights: Adequate lighting to ensure Grandma finds her keys every time.

Creating Rooms and Living Areas for the Family

In a space that's 1400 square feet, we're creating an amazing living area. Think of it like painting a beautiful picture, but instead of using paint, we're using rooms and furniture. We're turning this big area into a place where everyone will love to live and spend time.

  • Studio for Elders (200 sqft): Compact yet cozy. Perfect for the first-gen who prefer their world a little quieter and easier to manage.
  • Family Living Space (300 sqft): A lively arena for the 2nd and 3rd gen to mingle. Roomy enough for those hearty meals and endless chats.
  • Master Bedroom (150 sqft): Your sanctuary. Big enough for dreams, small enough for cuddles.
  • Kid’s Room & Study (2 rooms of 120 sqft each): Where imaginations grow and homework battles are fought. Complete with storage beds and a study corner for that A+.

Kitchens & Bathrooms: The Heart and Soul of the Home

Let’s chat about the kitchen – it’s a special place in the house where we cook and sometimes make a bit of a mess. It’s where all the fun of making meals and yummy treats happens!

  • Studio Kitchenette (80 sqft): A neat little corner with a sink, induction cooker, and a bar fridge. Grandma’s secret recipes come to life here.
  • Main Unit Kitchen (180 sqft): A culinary playground with an island. It’s where the family gathers for those aromatic evenings.
  • Studio Bathroom: Safety first! Anti-slip tiles and safety railings because we care.
  • Main Unit Bathrooms (2 x 60 sqft): A master ensuite and a common bathroom – strategically placed to avoid those morning traffic jams.
