When homeowners Jon Siao and May Tan first encountered this duplex apartment in an old condominium estate in Singapore, they liked the idea of living in a two-storey unit but were hesitant about whether they could make it their dream home.

Puah visited the property and noticed its oddly planned spaces, as well as a dearth of natural ventilation and light due to the layout.
