Free Space Intent

Our reno journey started from Dec 2020. Once we spoke with Leon, we knew he was The One. The reno process was very very enjoyable. Quality of workmanship was great and we loved how each corner in our house was transformed with every passing week. Any reno hiccups we experienced was usually quickly resolved. Overall we would have loved for the post-work qc checks to be better but given the fluid situation with the pandemic and us having to live in while they complete the reno, we felt Leon and team did a fine job. Thank you Leon and team!

At the time of writing, my ID is working with FS Inspire which is a shoot off from her original company FS Intent. I asked around for an ID that friends would recommend for my first home but somehow no one I knew had anyone that stood out for them. I chanced upon FS Inspire and count my blessings. My ID Yong Ping together with her colleague Lujun represented a good mix of creativity and practicality. They were always honest, responsive and responsible. I was always consulted during the design and implementation phase which made me feel involved and allowed me to enjoy the process and learn at the same time. I met a few IDs which I felt were too aggressive in imposing their ideas. In contrast, Yong Ping spent a lot of time understanding me as a person, my needs and aspirations. Her design ideas are rich and was able to articulate my vision/preferences and flesh them out. I can be proud that the final product is not just a “designer’s work” but a home that I love. As with all renovation works, there are bound to be problems during the renovation process but the way the team solved each of them really inspired me. Awesome after sales service and a dedicated team of workers. They maintained high standards and never settled for less. Lujun in particular left a deep impression, he often came down in person to ensure even the smallest issues were resolved completely. Prior to this, I have heard so many horror stories about nightmare designers and contractors. My personal experience was the complete opposite. I will definitely recommend Yong Ping/Lujun and the team from FS INSPIRE to anyone looking for a trustworthy, professional and reliable interior designer!

We started the ID search for our new place way back in 2019 before the pandemic. We had the luxury of time and shortlisted 6 ID firms that had the best online ratings. We wanted a loft which added to the complexity of the quotations and designs. Finally, after numerous meeting with all 6 ID firms, we decided to engage the services of Irvin from Free Space Intent (FSI). While FSI’s quotation was certainly not the cheapest, Irvin impressed us with her earnest and professional attitude and was able to provide us with 3D drawings at the 2nd meeting when we’re still shortlisting ID firms. Then COVID-19 happened and construction on the 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. Because COVID-19 restrictions were still in force and manpower was scarce, Irvin had to constantly juggle the on-going works and was frequently on-site to supervise. The loft was the most complex part of our renovation where at least 5 different contractors were involved in different stages (metal structure, carpentry, electrical, glass, vinyl), and I was very impressed that Irvin was able to coordinate them all efficiently. Our new place turned out great due to Irvin’s efforts. Its great to have an ID who is professional and efficient, and yet fastidious to a fault. We do not regret engaging Irvin and would recommend FSI to our friends.
