A Seamless Blend of Muji Serenity and Smart Technology

Reviewed by Amos Tan・Submitted 3 Jul 2023・ Project completed Jun 2023・Designer Jack

Alright, folks, buckle up for the epic tale of my home renovation adventure with the awesome crew at Para.Graph, led by the one and only design wizard, Jack! Let me tell you, this journey was an absolute blast from start to finish. They transformed my living space into a jaw-dropping Muji wonderland, sprinkled with the mind-blowing magic of smart lighting and slick wireless setups. If you're after an interior design experience that's as casual as Sunday brunch with friends, look no further! Now, let's talk about Jack's wizardry in bringing together the serene Muji vibes and cutting-edge technology. They waved their design wand (figuratively, of course) and conjured up smart lighting solutions that took my home's ambiance to a whole new level. I mean, imagine effortlessly adjusting lighting colors and levels with a few taps on your phone. It's like having a personal lighting DJ, turning your crib into the hottest spot in town for any mood or occasion! But hey, the fun didn't stop there. The collaboration with Jack and the Para.Graph team was an absolute riot! They had me in on the design party, valuing my input and cracking jokes along the way. They seamlessly merged the latest tech with the Muji theme, making my place feel like a modern-day chill-out spot. And guess what? No more cable clutter to cramp my style! With their slick wireless setups, it was like living in a high-tech fairytale where cords go extinct. The level of craftsmanship and attention to detail? Mind-blowing, my friends. Jack's sharp eye and knack for selecting the perfect smart lighting fixtures and wireless devices brought the Muji-inspired design to life in the most epic way. It's like they had a direct line to the design gods! My home became a cozy retreat that felt like stepping into a hipster's dreamland, where simplicity meets convenience with a touch of magic. So, my fellow adventurers and believers in extraordinary living spaces, I can't recommend Para.Graph, led by the legendary Jack, enough. Their expertise, laid-back vibes, and top-notch customer service will take your interior design dreams to a whole new level. Seriously, they deserve way more than five stars! A massive shoutout to Jack and the rad team at Para.Graph for their epic work, for turning my Muji-inspired dreams into reality, and for infusing smart lighting and wireless setups with a touch of magic. Keep it cool, Amos Tan

The flow of tranquility

Reviewed by Shashi・Submitted 18 May 2022・ Project completed Mar 2022・Designer Jack

Our home is nested in the enclaves of Tanjong Rhu. We had been living in the apartment for over 10 years . Our main concern was the apartment feels dated and the space doesn’t feel cohesive. It did not reflect the true size of the property too. We were looking something that will feel sleek and elegant, perhaps more towards the Scandinavian appeal for the home. We looked around for ID's and met precisely 3 of them before shortlisting Jack . One was a reference from a friend who had also done work for us before. The other was a well know firm in Singapore and the third was Jack from Para.graph I must say Jack impressed us on his first visit to our home with his observations on what can be done and his initial ideas. More in depth discussions followed and they began to understand more about our real requirements . That along with identifying the problems with the current setup and hidden advantages of the home, they began working on the designs. One of the key issues with the place was that the ceiling was lowered in most places unnecessarily to accommodate the less than ideal planned ducted AC systems before. The main water pipe lines are too obstructing with maximising the ceiling heights. So what Jack did is to maximise the headroom available and turn what was the issue before into one of the main features with the fluted ceiling panels. From there, the custom door details and large format tiled cladded walls are designed to complement the ceiling instead of vying for attention with it. Some examples of touches that helps to enhance the space further making it feeling even more spacious than before are as follows: The spreading of light into multiple softer light sources instead of concentrated light fittings as before Curating and customising what to go on which walls to subtly draw the attention to where it’s more desired. Customising internal frame colours so that merge seamlessly with the interiors, encouraging indoor to outdoor flow. Storage and cabinets are incorporated mostly to fit into the space rather than standout too much. The result is a timeless, sophisticated design that just seems to flow between the different areas. One that is filled with a sense of Tranquillity throughout. The project that was initiated during COVID took 6 long months to complete , through out the journey Jack and his team were extremely professional and transparent . His calm demeanour and composure. also helped cool our anxieties related to COVID delays . He was also cost conscious and advised accordingly. It was a turn key project where Jack and the team recommended everything from tiles to throws! We thoroughly enjoyed working with him and the team that ended up in a nice friendly bonding with them. We also used him as a designer for another overseas apartment. I would strongly recommend Jack especially if you are looking for unique and out of the box designs and a professional ID to work with who not only comes up with great design but has complete control on the delivery and final out put !

... high-end yet cost effective designer, that gets it done

Reviewed by LC・Submitted 3 Apr 2020・ Project completed Dec 2019・Designer Jack

We'd work with Jack and his team again on any renovation project. It takes a high level of patience and experience to support our project--a complete overhaul of our resale condo. We have strong opinions, a budget, and firm timelines in mind. In other words, we're pretty tough as a customer. Para.graph exceeded our overall objectives and we didn't hate them or ourselves at the end of it. Our trust level was high as we got into it, and we were very much excited to be now living in what is now a brand new condo with an incredible design and finish. They use top vendors to support their work. High quality workmanship. Para.grapg is responsive and will get the job done. You won't regret working with them.

Reliable, Transparent and Innovative Design Firm for First Time Homeowners

Reviewed by Ronald Lim・Submitted 30 May 2019・ Project completed May 2019・Designer Jack & Carol

I was introduced a total of 5 ID firms by Qanvast, but we chose to go with Para.graph because ultimately, I felt the greatest level of sincerity and transparency from Jack and Carol, which translates to a genuine and comfortable working relationship. Being a first time homeowner, I had certain expectations of what I was looking out for, but I was always open to ideas from my IDs. Based on their prior experience, Jack and Carol was able to provide nifty solutions to specific problem areas within my property, while incorporating their design aesthetic into the final product at the same time. They were able to best maximize the space within the property, and create sufficient storage without feeling too claustrophobic or cluttered-looking. One interesting thing to note is that the team's design process is unique, in that they do not provide a full extent of 3D rendering of the eventual design, but instead adopting a more 'design-on-the-fly' approach while having a rough idea of the overall look and feel. It was a breath of fresh air, because I felt that it demonstrated a more practical approach to design without being mired in idealism. Being a fairly hands-off person, I was able to rely heavily on Jack and Carol to manage the project end-to-end without much hassle on my end. They undertook a large amount of responsibility on their end (such as communicating and negotiating with stakeholders such as the MSCT, or external service providers) and were able to involve me only at key decision points (such as material selection). I was able to trust them to take certain decisions on my behalf, because I felt that they were able to understand clearly my needs, and anticipate my response. In areas of communication, Both Jack and Carol were clear, transparent and prompt in our correspondence, which ultimately led to minimal (if not zero) misunderstandings. They were very accommodating of my schedule, and took time off late into the evenings/nights to texts or call me whenever I was having difficulty understanding certain technical details. Workmanship and quality of the carpentry, was top notch with very minimal issues (at least at point of writing) at point of handover, with most of issues easily resolved via a quick touchup. We had a strict unmovable timeline for Jack and Carol to complete the project (about 3 months inclusive of Chinese New Year holiday period) to basically hack down, and rebuild the interior from scratch and somehow, they were able to pull everything together eventually. Also, I must commend the teamwork and collaborative spirit between Jack and Carol, and with their respective team-mates/suppliers. Unfortunately, Jack was down with dengue fever and out of action for about 1-2 weeks, but the team was able to pick up the tasks and stick to the respective milestones without zero delay. Kudos to the team, and greatly appreciate our working relationship.

Excellent designer who delivers and follows up.

Reviewed by Andrew Lee・Submitted 12 Jun 2019・ Project completed Jul 2018・Designer Jack Ng

Jack was recommended by a very good friend and his wife. He did an excellent job for them. Likewise, he and his team did a good job for us. How? First, he understood our needs and preferences (style). Second, he is an excellent interior designer (he used to do ID for luxury yachts). Third, he used good and reliable workmen. Fourthly, he delivered what he promised closed to the original agreed price. Fifthly, he made sure the workmen did their best. Sixthly, he amended any mistakes. Finally, he followed through. We moved in 11 months ago, he just came by today because we had a little problem. I would recommend Jack wholeheartedly.

Interior Design with the extra detail and care

Reviewed by Tjun Tang・Submitted 9 Jun 2019・ Project completed Mar 2016・Designer Jack Ng

My wife and I were immediately impressed with Jack's ideas for interior designing our new condo in Bukit Timah, Singapore. He came across as an experienced professional and did not impose his ideas on us and was always willing to accommodate our preferences and thoughts. He has an excellent team who finished the work according to our desired specifications and the level of finish was excellent with that extra piece of care and finesse that is hard to find. Jack was regularly on site to make sure that the work was going to plan and was very reassuring when minor adjustments and setbacks occurred. Throughout the entire design process, from initial conceptualisation to final accomplished work, we found that Jack was willing to work closely with us on our evolving ideas for the space and exploration of different options, textures and materials. He was patient and attentive in each meeting and we got to know him well. His ability to listen to our hopes and aspirations for how we would use the various spaces was a particular strength. As a result, we felt he truly designed our new home to incorporate our personalities as well the way we would live in it as a family unit. The after care was also truly excellent. He really takes pride in his work!
