Happe Design Atelier

I went to a few IDs for initial talks but I settled for Ean as I like his designs and I feel comfortable talking to him. My brief was I wanted a cosy, functional and not a cookie-cutter home. Happe has met my requirements. Eventhough along the way there were some hipcups, Happe was fast to act on all the rectifications. What they have promised, they will deliver. Overall, I am happy with Ean’s new ideas, Happe’s service and credibility. Koon came on board of the project at tiles selection stage. Throughout the project, Koon was very pro-active, diligent and responsive. He even went the extra mile to ensure every details and concerns were attended to promptly. He will also pay attention to small details and ensure completion of these issues. His cheerfulness and positive attitude made my renovations journey with Happe a truly happy one.

I was referred to Johnson after speaking to a number of designers. By that time I was quite resigned to compromising on a number of items in my wish list due to the many beams and structural walls in an older HDB flat. But Johnson managed to optimize the layout and bring our dream living & working environment to life. In addition, his design sense is spot on for the modern industrial style that I envisioned. I enjoyed working with Johnson because he clearly likes his work and takes pride in his craft, paying attention to symmetry of lines and harmony of proportions. He is thorough with his drawings and made sure to explain various options and preempt potential issues so that there were no surprises during the process. The knowledge of all the details comes from years of experience. I appreciate that he kept to the agreed budget closely with minimal VOs. And he is always so energetic, cheerful, responsive, with a can-do attitude, very important during the stressful renovation process! He is every bit the consultant who will provide his opinion and suggestion to every single one of my questions. The trades people he engages are equally competent, reliable and obliging, which is so important during this season of labour crunch and materials shortage. This is my 3rd time renovating my home, and so I am rather picky. Coupled with my meticulous, organized and demanding nature, all that makes me a fairly difficult customer! And yet Johnson is able to patiently work through all our requirements, and deliver a home that we love living in and are proud hosting friends and family in.

I had met a few IDs and eventually chosen Johnson as he could could understand my requirements, clearly articulate the proposed design direction and explain the reasons for the design choices that he had made. He wasn’t pushy in selling his ideas, and was willing to accept my counter-proposals. In addition, he would offer his professional advice on my suggestions on furniture choices. During the renovation, he provided timely updates on the renovation progress and was able to quickly resolve any unforeseen issues that cropped up. I’m also very grateful for his help to coordinate with the vendors on delivery of appliances, furnitures etc when I was unable to do so due to my work commitments. Overall, I am very satisfied with what Johnson has done for my apartment. His design has won praises from many of my friends who has visited my newly renovated bachelor pad. I would highly recommend Johnson to anyone who is looking for a ID.
