Ascend Design

We had followed Ascend Design for a good while even before we got our home and have always liked their designs and style. When we finally got our unit we went around speaking to a few IDs but eventually went with our gut & selected Ascend as our ID after speaking with Alfred & Renhao, who was our ID & project manager respectively. We were pretty clear in terms of what we want and needed to know what was necessary in terms of execution & also space planning as we had an old resale flat with quite a bit of work to be done. Some IDs we spoke to shot down our ideas for design without offering a solution, nor was willing to entertain ideas that were quite foreign to them. Alfred and Renhao listened and told us what could and couldn’t be done very professionally & worked the best we could with the budget we had. They also proposed designs that we would otherwise have not thought about, have a good eye for colour palettes and style, and were very responsive throughout. There were a few situations that arose throughout our renovation of 3 months, but we would truly like to thank Alfred & Renhao for taking everything in stride and being professional and communicative throughout. It has been a bit of a long journey, with a few bumps here and there, but we are truly grateful for an ID firm that have left us with nothing but a GOOD taste in our mouths, (and our home! ;) ) instead of a sour one - which we were so afraid of initially after hearing so many ID horror stories from various people. All this to say, we highly recommend Ascend, Alfred & Renhao & team! Thank you guys, we love our home! Caleb & Ting

A ton of interior design firms these days present very similar portfolios, but Ascend always brings a little something different to every project. Our designer, Audrey, and project manager, Yan Hao, were extremely helpful in providing recommendations to help elevate the look of our entire BTO. For instance, we wanted arched French doors in our living room and Audrey recommended placing curves along our kitchen’s entryway as well for a more harmonious look throughout the house. Shoutout to Yanhao as well for being extremely meticulous in checking for painting imperfections and arranging for rectifications even after the renovation was complete. Highly recommend Ascend and the team!

We chanced upon Ascend on IG and liked their design aesthetics. We met with a designer and felt she had a good grasp of design and functionality. We signed with Ascend but unfortunately the designer left. Althea stepped in to take over the project and was very proactive in engaging us to understand our needs and wants. Though there were a few hiccups along the way, Althea was prompt in her follow-up and always tried her best to help find solutions and workarounds to minimise any delays. She was always patient in answering our queries and would give us her honest opinion when appropriate. We are thankful for Althea and the service she has provided. We have a beautiful home but do feel that the quality of the workmanship and attention to detail could be better. All in all, a good experience.
