Childhood memorabilia and Native American art from travels give the society couple’s beautiful three-storey home just that right touch of warmth
Is having a lift inside a three-storey house a little too excessive for two people? Not so, according to aviation professional Benjamin Kim.
Together with his wife, Serene Tan, the couple purchased a prime piece of property with the intention of creating a home that’s roomy enough to enjoy all the frills of luxury living with a modern minimalist aesthetic.

“Home is a place of love and comfort. It’s a cosy environment not necessarily extremely ornate or luxurious, but comfortable where I feel loved and can spend time with my loved ones,” said Kim.
The couple worked with their architect to create a warm, contemporary home that was airy and open, where natural light from the open panels and floor-to-ceiling windows would illuminate the living space.
A triple volume ceiling for the living room added a touch of opulence and enlarged the space even further. “The use of glass lets more light in, coupled with a lot of open space. I like the open concept, so you don’t feel like you’re bogged in inside the house,” he explained.
