We went into our renovation journey with a pretty clear idea of what we wanted. My wife and I were aiming for a modern minimalist home with a MUJI-inspired feeling, something clean, calm, and easy to live in. At the same time, it was important for us to have an altar for Guan Yin that fits nicely into the space according to our fengshui requirements And with fengshui in the mix, there were quite a lot of considerations when it comes to placement and orientation, especially for the altar and the carpentry. It wasn’t just about design, everything had to be positioned carefully. We’re honestly very happy we worked with Zax. From the beginning, he understood the vibe we were going for. We shared some inspiration we found on Facebook, and instead of just copying it, he and his carpentry team worked through all the fengshui requirements with us and still managed to bring everything together beautifully. The carpentry work really stood out. The way the the entire house came together and how the altar was built into the cabinetry was done very thoughtfully, and you can tell a lot of care went into every detail. Despite all the constraints, it blends in naturally with the rest of the home. Overall, my wife and I are really pleased with how everything turned out. The whole space feels cozy and comfy for us, and we genuinely enjoy and looking forward to coming back home each day. If you’re looking for someone who listens, is patient with requirements, and knows how to turn your ideas into something you would love, definitely look out for Zax from Twelve by Ciseern.

We would like to express our greatest gratitude to our ID ( Mr Kenneth Tan, Group Director). Through a friend’s recommendation, we came to know about Kenneth. Since day 1 of renovation, he has always exhibited the positive attitude in helpping us build our 1st home, he never once says No but will always find alternative solution. With his expertise, we were very delighted with the whole renovation process and the unit was handed ovee on 31 Jan 2026. Without telling what we would like the theme to be, the 3D drawing he gave us drew so much compliments from our family and friends which was what we wanted in mind. There are friends who even asked who our ID were. He is also very prompt with replies, professional and responsible. He always tries his best to accommodate when we are not free to be present during the renovation. With him helping to manage the renovation, we never have to worry much as he will overlook and take charge. There will be frequent updates and progress on the renovation which gave us that assurance that everything is going on well. Despite there was a slight delay due to unforseen circumstance, Kenneth never once rushed us so that he can finish his job neither did he complain about the delay. He often find soulition when we encounter something wrong. The carpentry was of good workmanship and good quality materials were used. Celuka water board were used for kitchen and vanity cabinet. With Kenneth’s help, the house he helped us with the renovation became our biggest pride as everyone who sees the pictures/house is full of praises and were very impressed. He not only gave suggestions when we have no clue but he also gave us advise on how to care for our carpentry which made us felt he went the extra mile. With just a message away, we know our house is in good hands. Words can never express how much we engaged Kenneth as our ID and he makes all things work when things. To Kenneth, thank you very much for all the help and extra mile you went through just to help us.

Throughout the entire project, Shermin and Sky were professional, friendly, and highly customer-focused. Communication was always clear and responsive, and they made the effort to understand my needs and priorities. Their engagement was sincere and reassuring, which gave me confidence at every stage of the renovation. What impressed us most was their strong sense of ownership. They approached the design and execution as though it was their own home, paying attention to functionality, practicality, and aesthetics. Their recommendation to use Celuka waterproof boards for the kitchen cabinets reflected their commitment to quality and long-term durability. The overall workmanship was excellent, and the end result is a home that is both aesthetically pleasing and highly functional. The entire process was smooth, well-coordinated, and completely hassle-free thanks to their dedication and attention to detail. I am very satisfied with the outcome and truly appreciate their professionalism and commitment.

We chanced upon Ciseern one day when we were looking for an ID, and we were fortunate to be received by Sandra.

We were very pleased with their design flow and layout. It maximised space usage with style and created more living space that didn’t exist pre-renovation. Colin seeks to understand our personal preferences of colour, texture and style .He will make appropriate suggestions to make it even better .His recommendations are well received as we didn’t think of it the possibilities. Their prompt response time to our questions and their flexibility in meeting our schedule suited our busy work schedule . Julian is very efficient project manager . Her eyes to details amazed me as she remembered every aspect of the project and what we wanted. She is very good in keeping the deliverable timeline and there were no delay in the project execution.
