Having recently completed our forever home with PTR, we're delighted with the stunning transformation of our place. We confidently recommend PTR 👍🏻 After evaluating 8 interior designers, we chose Kenneth from PTR for their CaseTrust and Qanvast accreditation, competitive pricing, and their genuine care for our project. Unlike other firms, PTR showed empathy and treated us as more than just clients. Kenneth also has a strong portfolio in the minimal B&W look we were gravitating towards. Throughout our collaboration, Kenneth, along with Gary and Sheralyn, has shown dedication and flexibility. Despite inevitable challenges, they proactively seek solutions and keep us well-informed. Even after handover, Kenneth checks in with us on outstanding rectifications and sorts out quickly anything needing his attention. I engaged Absolute Inspectors to conduct a thorough defect check prior to handover. The inspector identified 90% similar items that Kenneth pointed out on his self audit. On top of that, the inspector even complimented Kenneth having done a fabulous job. Engaging PTR has significantly eased the stresses of our extensive renovation, turning our half a century old, original condition, flat in downtown SG into a true Place to Relax. We’ve lived in our place for coming a month now, and being at home is such a joy that we never want to go out anymore. PTR helped us to create a beautiful, functional, and cozy space, and brought our vision to life.

Engaged PTR for help with my 1br Condo. Because it was a smaller apartment, we required alot of of space saving tips and also knowledge on how to maximize the space. Shoutout to Kenneth and the team he has for an amazing job. Appreciate the patience and also the advise he gave on all my queries. Quality work and service all the way from start to finish. Will definitely recommend PTR to anyone looking to do up their new house & turning it into a home 😊

Working with PTR was an exceptional experience from start to finish. From the moment we met up with Kenneth and his team, we knew we were in good hands. We hired them to redesign our entire home interior, including the kitchen, living room, and bedrooms. Their creativity in blending minimalism elements with our ideal scandinavian style was remarkable. The team was professional, transparent and communicative throughout, and they delivered on time and within our budget. We are thrilled with the results and would highly recommend PTR to anyone seeking quality interior design services.

Our renovation journey with Kenneth was enjoyable and smooth. He’s designs were nice and functional, and he went out of w way to fulfil our design requests in order for the house to meet our needs. We had several rounds of iteration even before we confirmed his service. Kenneth and his team had made our renovation journey very smooth, he coordinated his team and provided advice. The renovation was delivered on time and Kenneth is always responsive to our questions, needs and request, even after the renovation has completed. We will definitely recommend Kenneth’s ID service to home owners!

We went to PTR after hearing good reviews from our friends who just completed their renovation. Our ID is Jaz and Joven. The thing that we appreciate the most is how prompt and responsible they are. We often hear about IDs promising the world during the planning stage and yet fail to deliver and giving all sorts of excuses thereafter. Jaz and Joven is the total opposite. They are not hesitant to voice their concern for any crazy ideas we might have and they will find ways to make our ideas work. They are very prompt in providing updates during the renovation as well which is one of the main reason we engaged PTR after hearing our friend’s experience. The outcome turns out 95% of what we envisioned (from 3D) which is awesome. There are no smooth renovation and there will be change of plans/ideas/tweaks. Designs can be inspired, changed, tweaked by any ID but having IDs like Joven and Jaz that take pride and accountability in their work is what homeowners like us really need to guide us along the renovation journey.

Was recommended to PTR Jaz and Joven by a friend. Shortlisted and eventually engage them to do up my dream home. They are super responsive and very well organized. Enjoyed working with them as they do listen to your ideas and advise work around if its not possible. Communication is the key as no reno is perfect and I must say Jaz and Jovan are the top of the chart. Thanks Jaz and Joven

Our ID team from Place to Relax includes Jocelyn, Joven, Jaz, and we engaged them through a friend’s recommendation. All of them were super patient during the design process at the start, very receptive to ideas and preferences shared by us and incorporate them into our overall design. They also gave very helpful advice on colour matching to ensure everything fits into our overall theme. They are quite young but very sincere and passionate and willing to go extra miles and travel extra journey e.g. travelling from east to west to our new place just to supervise the works and meet us to discuss matters even though it may just be a 30-min discussion. In terms of cost, it was quite reasonable - definitely not the cheapest in market but also not the highest. Overall, we are very pleased with the design and output. The output was almost 80% similar to their 3D which was good because we don’t like surprises and overpromises, and they managed to deliver what they designed. Even though there may be slight delays during renovation for certain works but they managed to catch-up on the backlogs and ensure everything was completed within the overall timeline and handover-ed on time as promised. They also continue to support and help rectify issues post handover, which is greatly appreciated by us. Super friendly and approachable even though they are all relatively young, a lot of fresh ideas and will definitely recommend this ID firm to our families and friends.

Steffany was a joy to work with throughout our entire reno journey! We went into this with 0 knowledge of reno and with busy work schedules so it was super helpful whenever we encountered anything at all that she would patiently explain it to us and also update us daily on whatever was happening at our house. She was super proactive in the reno and also checked in with us a lot on our appliances as a lot of decisions needed to be made at certain checkpoints. She also went above and beyond, as she told us to give her number as the point of contact for the delivery of everything so she could coordinate on our behalf which was really super convenient for us instead of going back and off. Even now, after moving in for 2 months, they’re consistently checking in on us and seeing if there’s any issues that they could help to address. Really appreciate how on the ball Steffany was, and Place to Relax in general! And how quick she was to address our concerns and fix any and all issues that inevitably came up during the reno journey. It has been such a pleasure working with place to relax to build our home and we felt very reassured throughout the process!

No reno is perfect but PTR did a great job getting there. From the first appt till handover, we can say all is smooth and pleasant. Their attention on issues is quick and efficient. Queries and replies on text is fast and reasonable. Taking 6-7 weeks to complete during these period is a hard feat to manage. The ability to achieve the timeline and still keeping within our budget, speaks a lot for this recommendation. Truly satisfied with Jaz/Kerene's work. Keep it up.

We heard of Place to Relax through word-of-mouth from a friend, and we made an appointment with them in June 2021 to discuss ideas for our house. Prior to meeting with Place to Relax, we had met with about 10 other ID firms but none of them stood out. Our ID was Jaz and she was pleasant to work with. She was not pushy and respected our ideas that we had. Doing renovation during COVID period is not easy with much uncertainty looming, and Jaz tried her best to complete our renovation works in the timeline given. She is also very prompt in her Whatsapp replies no matter what time of the day! What we really liked about Jaz is that she will try her best to rectify any errors for us when we highlight it to her, instead of simply saying it 'cannot be done' or pushing the responsibility away. No reno is 100% perfect, what makes the difference is how the ID manages the problem. Jaz takes pride in her work as an ID and it is evident in her attitude when dealing with her clients. She is truly a very humble and sincere ID with the genuine aim to design our house for us the way I wanted it instead of doing it for publicity. As first time home owners and first time undergoing a full house renovation, we are truly very impressed with her work and the entire process, and would strongly recommend Place to Relax to anyone who is considering an ID firm for their place. I am now living in my new home and it is everything I envisioned it to be, thanks to Jaz from Place to Relax!

Engaged Kenneth for our BTO and was glad that he assisted us in many last minute changes in carpentry/electrical points. Not forgetting helping us to coordinate w the multiple deliveries of appliances and air cons installation as well. He went above and beyond to update us on the timeline as reno during COVID period proved hard especially with the constraints and restriction. Aesthetic touch points sure heightened the pleasantness of the whole house. Thank u!
