Named after its minimalist, lego enthusiast owner, Alex was meticulously designed by William Chan of Spacedge Designs to suit the very particular style and needs of his client. Given complete creative freedom, Chan removed all the internal walls of the 47sm public housing flat, creating one continuous open space with a series of seamless wood-look laminate cabinets, chosen for their easy maintenance and pattern consistency, that appear to float off the ground. Hidden inside this cabinetry are carefully curated functional zones including a desk to work and build lego at, as well as a compact kitchen, laundry and concealed fridge. Blue tubular hardware and a matching light fixture that runs the length of the living room, along with a wall mounted, fluorescent orange “coin bank” designed by Chan and included on recommendation from a feng shui master, are the only pops of colour in the otherwise clean and crisp space.

So sterile and lonely. I get the solo living thing but with this kind of toilet you can't even have a guest over.
This is a difficult home to love. It’s impossible to have people over (unless they want to sit on wooden boxes or the concrete floor); but more than that, the layout loses much space to hallways and an odd layout results, like a tiny bed and a dysfunctional kitchen. Even if all you do is cook oatmeal, that kitchen’s layout is clumsy beyond compare. But hey there room for a Lego gallery. For the guests you can never have over except to stand the whole time.
I appreciate this design, but I know that I would go insane living here.
So far away from Lego. Lifeless and sad. 😢
It's so easy to use the space!
Dream apartement for clean freak man
This is such a unique space, but very cool. I always wonder whether people who like these really minimalist places have a lot of stress in their lives and need the space empty as a respite from that…
this is some hardcore minimalistic home. i love it!!! would live here 10/10
Too many cupboards
Wow.. I think I can live in this place. But I'll probably make the cabinets more colorful and probably have a little fancy sofa set and probably hang fancy paintings too~ I like that everything is inside a cabinet; I won't have to worry about having to clean stuff because dust accumulation would be very minimal. :3
This one is a little too steril for me
Definitely custom made. The client seems happy.
Why Alex look like he not happy with the house design? The look on his face is hilarious.
The original layout was better. The next resident is going to have to gut the place and start over.
I’m not sure that I understand the monochromatic theme or layout. When I see these homes they make me sad.
I would love to know the brand that makes the hinges for the desk and the kitchen table!!!
WOW finally Singapore
the placement of the fridge is so weird.
This young man is very disciplined if he lives alone in Singapore and only needs a single bed.
perfection.
i actually love it! if i were to live there, I'd probably add a round table, move the fridge near the sink, add a little divider for the shower area and a bigger bed!
The design felt a bit lonely..
Client like this happens once every 100 years . This is not real living . Who are we kidding lmaoooo
This is my favourite space I have seen on the channel to date. The cars and client-centric design is incredible. This is 100% exactly what the client wanted and it’s amazing to see such a unique space.
This is quite unique indeed but a bit too dull/dead for my taste. The colors and the shapes have no life at all. But indeed unique.
A dream flat.
Bomb shelter? I want a house with a bomb shelter!
Still qrapping my head havingbthe fridge with the laundry, away from the kitchen. But the owner prefers it that way.
blinds for privacy, but can't shit in peace if someone wants to grab something from the fridge
no thanks
some parts I liked, some parts I didn't. But I think I would prefer this design over the old one.
This house has more space for Lego than human. Feels soulless. But again, everyone has their preference
Good concept except for the toilet next to the fridge 😂
my guy has no tv no table no chairs and no food
This home is soulless
wow, i think this is one of my favourite projects i've seen here! amazing!
wow, this is very unique
Be careful about overly glamorising these Soviet-style high rise apartments for the common man!
This is a project done with the sole purpose of keeping people boxed up in tiny spaces, living on top of each other, while the rich ruling class get to own sprawls of land and countryside!
How can one raise a family or have pets or grow their own food in such a space?
Be careful! Don’t fall for this socio-economic trap!
