Lentor Residence is a comprehensive remodelling of a landed home, re-envisioned to improve spatial connectivity, natural ventilation and access to daylight across its three levels. The intervention focuses on unlocking latent potential within the existing structure, transforming compartmentalised interiors into a cohesive and breathable living environment.
At the first storey, the main entrance is repositioned to enable the corner glazed sliding doors at the salon to fully open and pocket away, dissolving the boundary between interior and landscape. The salon, dining and kitchen are reorganised into a clear linear sequence, strengthening visual continuity while enhancing cross ventilation through the depth of the house. The former kitchen is converted into a flexible multi-purpose room that accommodates play, gathering or guest stays, reflecting the evolving rhythms of family life. Structural beams are reinterpreted through coffered ceilings with integrated lighting, introducing rhythm and texture while resolving existing constraints..
On the second storey, spatial reconfiguration establishes a more intentional hierarchy. The master suite is conceived as an enfilade — bedroom, grooming room and bathroom arranged in succession, culminating in a freestanding bathtub. This linear progression creates layered vistas and a gradual transition toward privacy. The relocated study benefits from the pitched ceiling and floor-to-ceiling glazing, while a fixed glass partition allows daylight to permeate into the adjoining family space. At the attic level, new glazing along the stairwell borrows light from the skylight to brighten the entertainment room.
Through precise spatial realignment and considered detailing, Lentor Residence becomes a light-filled home defined by clarity, openness and continuity.
