Seaside Residences

It has been 6 years since we had our first home done by Jeff and we have always been very satisfied with the quality even till the day we moved out, the fixtures were still in very good condition that our buyer commented that it was like a new home. We have decided to go back to Jeff after this long without even a consideration of looking for another ID as we shared a good chemistry with him and he knew out wants and don'ts exactly. So much so that when he came up with the design, there was not even a consideration of making any changes to his design theme. Fast forward, what we saw in the 3D drawing came to life and it was exactly what we wanted. It was a hassle free experience working with Jeff and he also sets a high standard for himself. This was also why we trusted him in the entire process. All in all, we are very happy and we were glad that he did our second home so well that we could forget about our previous home. :)

My family engaged Space Atelier for my home reno after consulting many ID firms. San was our assigned ID. The entire reno experience was assuring and we are glad to have chosen San/Space Atelier for this journey. I was personally afraid of scams and ghost IDs (from my online knowledge) Hence, from the onset, I favoured responsibility and accountability over design acumen or low costs promises. These are difficult qualities to ascertain at the beginning, but San’s response time to our numerous texts was one big “green light” on why we decided to engage him. I recalled San was away on a very long trip when my family started sourcing for ID firms and we weren’t able to meet him face to face to discuss requirements. Despite so, he prepared a comprehensive quotation based on our texts and was able to communicate clearly and promptly over WhatsApp. Interestingly, we decided on engaging him even before we could meet him face to face, mainly because of the comprehensiveness of the quote and the assurance we felt. As it turned out, San was a responsible ID and a good listener with an excellent memory. Many times, he guided us towards practical design and functionality which we found useful after living in.   Through my reno experience, I learnt that that there are many parties involved and it would be quite unrealistic to expect no miscommunications or seek perfection. Hence, it is very important that the ID took responsibility and accountability for the project. In this regard, San was able to provide practical solutions and rectify any issues in a prompt manner. He had also gone out of the way to ‘upgrade’ the quality of materials and expand the scope of works to enhance the design. Finally, San was still able to complete the reno, after my request to shorten the duration, and my family was able to move in based on my preferred plans.

We were sourcing for ID to do up our new place and chanced upon Francis from Space Atelier. Prior to the appointment, we shared with him the layout of our unit and our desired theme for the house. He went above and beyond, creating a 3D render to help us visualise how our concept would look like. He was sincere and listened to our requirements. He also provided some proposed solutions for some areas that he felt could improve the design even if it meant doing more research to source for the right materials. During the course of the renovation, we barely had anything much to worry. He provided prompt updates and had good project management skills, getting the various pieces completed on time. As like all other renovations, there were a few issues surfaced during the renovations but Francis was always prompt and ready to facilitate any discussions with the contractors. We really enjoyed the process and appreciate his help throughout the journey. Strongly recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible ID.
