WELCOME

The client is a newly love birds who just got married on February 2017 and the husband is 28 years old who worked as a Brand Manager from Singapore while his lovely wife is 3 years younger working as an Accountant in Penang. The husband likes to spend his free time after work at the dining bar and also the living room. On the other hand, the wife occasionally will bring her office workloads back home to complete it which she demands to have a practical home-feeling working space. Both of them are bad at cooking and rarely find themselves cooking unless there are any special occasions or invited guests.

The Industrial interior design focuses mainly on combining raw and rough with clean and streamlined typically wood, exposed bricks, industrial lighting fixtures and concrete. There's a sense of unfinished rawness in many of the elements and it's pretty common to see high ceilings, old timbers and dangling metal light fixtures with sparse functional furniture can also be found in the interior
