Starry Homestead

Dylan had been a great help to us thru our home renovation journey. During our initial meetings with him, he was able to propose design concepts and ideas on the spot, and was able to draw them out in 3D for us to visualize easily. This was much more efficient compared to some IDs who would take the action item back, spend some time to do up the 3D or have another colleague do these up, and then come back to client to articulate the concept. Subsequently, through the renovation works, he provided his subject matter advice to us based on what would be the most feasible and cost efficient option as opposed to what might be the most profitable option. Appreciate his down-to-earth approach when handling our renovation without any pushy attitude. Thank you for the great work!

Our encounter with Jo from Starry Homestead happened out of the blue, a serendipity that we treasure till today. As home proud owners, the search for the right partner to embark on the designing of our second home was deliberate and careful. We have a clear visualization of our new home and was on a look out for someone who could come in and turn that vision into reality. Jo was all that, and more. It all started with her inquisitiveness and curiosity of our lifestyle needs, working routine, dining habits which allowed her to thoughtfully craft a proposal that meet our space usage and home flow. Not many would bring up this skill set in reviews however we felt this is worth acknowledging. Her ability to listen and accurately interpret our imagination into visible design language is both a gift and talent. This has allowed us to zero in on design concept and style in the early stages of the entire process. Her attention to detail was unmatched, picking up potential workflow or material availability red flags before it came into view. She was always two steps ahead, a quality that we truly appreciate. It gave us a great sense of assurance, knowing we have someone who cares about our home as much as we do. We truly enjoy this new space of ours and believe it would not be possible without the dedication of Jo and the rest of the Starry Homestead team. There were contractors, plumbers, painters, electricians whom we met along the way in the building of our home and we dare they that they are amongst the best group of people we've worked with, individuals who would go the extra mile, taking utmost pride in their craftmanship. Of course, the experience was not without hiccups and shortfalls, they were remedied and rectified on a timely manner. It does help when we as homeowners are able to look beyond minor glitches and focus on the bigger picture. Despite the arduous and lengthy pandemic renovation schedule, Jo and team made this journey a relatively smooth and pleasant ride. Till today, we have been on the receiving end of multiple ooh and ahh from friends and family who stepped foot through our door. We have been name dropping Starry Homestead with pride and will continue to do so. It has been a pleasure, Jo & Team. Thank you for your craft.

Renovation during this period was frightening because of all the delays and supply issues. Working with Shan Shan was great. She gave us a schedule that was followed quite closely with no major delays. She helped to check on the quality of the work and included time for touch-up as well. There was no point where we felt like she was rushing the project to get it out of her way. She also helped to customise additional designs for a more coherent look of the house. She was prompt about replying to queries and open to discussing/assessing alternative design ideas that we wanted to bring up.
