Art Of Integrity Studio

It has been 3.5mths since handover and 2mths since my family moved into our new home. I want to share my experience on my 1st major home renovation. It is a resale unit of 21 years with kitchen cabinets, bedroom wardrobes, toilets, all floorings doors etc in their original condition. There are some custom made furniture for the living room & common rooms. Basically all have to go as it is not in its best condition plus outdated. I contacted 4 designers, met up with them with floorplan and the design I have in mind. I always wanted an island for my kitchen as I regretted very much for my 1st home because I didn't put emphasis on kitchen space. Hence, as my family grows, I got frustrated with the limitations in terms of space & functionality. Although my new home comes with a bigger kitchen, it is nevertheless challenging to realise my island dream. 3 designers failed to come up with a suitable island design when I met them for the 2nd & 3rd time, but quotation ready 😒, citing space constraints etc. I was kind of discouraged and 'believe' maybe the designers were right. The day before I met my 4th designer(3rd appt), I decided to go for an ad-hoc appt with a 5th designer(Irvin) just for the sake of it since none has given me 'hope'. When I told her my 'island' dream, she paused and I saw she was deep in her thoughts. THEN she took out a blank paper, pencil & ruler and start drawing the kitchen layout. She drew a peninsula! I saw how she planned the space, making sure there was adequate walking & working space with the peninsula idea. You would not understand how happy I was! Why did nobody think of that??!! I met my 4th designer the next day and what a disappointment. BesideS not coming up with what I wanted, he still gave me the 'impossible' look. I realised getting a designer who uses their heart is important. Although what Irvin proposed is a peninsula, she understood the essence of my thoughts. Kudos to her ingenious idea! That's my BIG 'why' I engaged Irvin because I know I can trust her. The working experience with Irvin was great, basically no need to worry because she single_handedly liaised with all contractors. We only popped in to see the progress though she updated us in our chatgroup. Communication is a breeze cos somehow she knows what I'm thinking before I even question/ask, I put that down to experience 👍🏻. Last but not least, the workmanship quality is excellent 👍 Irvin is a meticulous person and genuine in her approach, we are very lucky to have her as our designer ❤️ Oh yah we like to thank her for her space planning for our utility room & master bedroom toilet, it really make a huge difference and maximise space. All my friends & relatives are wowed by the spaciousness! Me & hubby didn't quite grasp her idea initially and ARE GLAD we trusted her 'vision' 🤣🤣🤣

Our ID Irvin was very meticulous and detailed when it came to the design and technical aesthetics in renovating our apartment. She was responsive and took care quickly of our requests during the renovation period. She is professional, and provide good, honest and insightful advice, and worked within our budget, helping us to save some costs. In the end, we were so happy that it turned out as we expected and became proud full owners of our beautiful home! Thank you Irvin!

COVID-19 happened and construction on our new place was delayed. We took advantage of the delay to review our designs over and over again, and each time Irvin was very patient in providing her advice and 3D drawings. When we finally got TOP, Irvin jumped on our project immediately. She also took the extra mile to inspect our new place for defects which I am so grateful. In addition, I liked that Irvin is meticulous and professional so that the final renovation meets our expectations.
