Loft.9 Design Studio, helmed by husband-and-wife duo Ken and Kate, is transforming the world of interiors with their signature “Uncommon” approach. By blending bold creativity, bespoke solutions, and sustainable innovation, they create one-of-a-kind spaces tailored to their clients’ unique lifestyles. Known for their client-centric philosophy, Ken and Kate go beyond aesthetics, crafting homes that are deeply personal and designed to leave a lasting impact.
Uncommon Design in Action: The EA Serangoon Project
A prime example of Loft.9’s trailblazing approach is the EA Serangoon project, completed in 2024. This project highlights their commitment to pushing creative boundaries, delivering interiors that balance beauty, function, and personality.
Key elements of their unconventional design strategy include:
- Modern yet timeless aesthetics – A seamless fusion of contemporary trends with classic elements.
- Innovative techniques – Incorporating custom-designed features and reimagined layouts for optimised functionality.
- Sustainable materials – Thoughtfully chosen to reduce environmental impact while enhancing durability.
Through these principles, Loft.9 challenges the norms of interior design, crafting spaces that transcend conventional styles while empowering homeowners with highly functional and unique solutions.
Breaking Away from Tradition: A 2024 Design Evolution
Ken and Kate made a bold decision in 2024—to move beyond predictable design norms and embrace more personalised, statement-driven interiors.
“Our approach this year was driven by the desire to move beyond the predictable and craft designs that reflect the unique personalities of our clients,” explains the duo.
This evolution was inspired by shifting client expectations and a growing demand for bespoke designs that tell a story. By integrating bold aesthetics and eco-conscious materials, Loft.9 is redefining how interiors can be both expressive and sustainable.
Exploring Global Design Trends
To stay ahead of industry trends, Loft.9 Design Studio embarked on inspirational journeys to leading renovation fairs in Guangzhou and Shanghai. These trips provided insights into:
New materials and textures for contemporary interiors
- Cutting-edge technologies shaping the future of home design
Exciting collaborations with global innovators in the industry - By integrating these discoveries into their projects, Loft.9 continues to push creative boundaries, delivering homes that are not only aesthetically striking but also forward-thinking.
A Personalised Approach to Every Home
At the heart of Loft.9’s philosophy is the belief that every home should be as unique as the person living in it. To achieve this, they employ a highly personalised design process that begins with their signature “Get to Know You” booklet—a deep dive into the client’s habits, preferences, and inspirations.
From there, Ken and Kate craft bespoke interiors that go beyond replication, focusing on tailored details that enhance both functionality and emotional connection within the space.
